I just got an idea!

I dont know if these things exist yet...

but I accidentally dropped my 08 tl key and it scratched....as i looked sadly at it I suddenly spied my blackberry with its sillicon cover and was like WOWWW i need one of those on my key...

They do make rubber key frames for regular metal keys, why not for a fob? I know the TSX fobs really take a beating and look pretty ugly after a while. I think it would be a great idea. There are key covers, but I couldn't find one for the TL.

The more ingenius idea would be to make that freaken fob smaller, thus you will not drop it. This thing is HUGE.

When I had my Lexus, they had leather wrapped over the key FOB. It was really nice and it was in my pocket at all times because of the smart key ignition. It will be difficult for the switchblade because we actually need to put the key in the ignition. Here is a pic of the Lexus key. Maybe get it custom made?

I want my FX key fob back, tiny, and I never took it out of my pocket, and I mean ever. When the dealer gave me the key fob for my TL-S, I was like, enough playing, give me the real key, this is like a beefed up swiss army knife.

naw it will be easy i think to make the protection case for the 08 switchblade key.

just the sides wont have rubber so the key can flick out wihle the rest is holding the key, safely and securely.

and personally, I dont know i you care about your key, but i care about MY key.
