Default Key fob cover

Has anyone found a key fob cover that works with the 992 keys, preferably an inexpensive silicone cover? I just want to protect it from dings and scratches.

I have my old leather cover but ideally need a key 'gimp suite' which will allow button presses whilst protected.
I still keep putting the key into the ignition before forehead slapping and parking it in the drinks holder!

that's ambitious, I'm happy to keep the dings and scratches off the car itself.

We got this. Cheap and it fits. Didn’t like that it made the key more bulky, so we took it off. Will probably just replace the plastic bits when they get scratched.

On Amazon.com you can find a "Buffway" brand leather holder made for the 992 key for $ 29.99 which is very similar to the over $100 Porsche case. It comes in black leather with red stitching. Fits perfectly. Excellent quality.

I got this cheap silicone cover off Amazon for my 991.2. I assume it should fit for the 992 as well.

Maybe, but the 991 uses a G1 key. The 992 uses a G2 key. The shapes differ where the key ring attaches.

Coin pocket on 5 pocket jeans/pants/shorts. slides right in. perfect fit. Comfort Access signal still detectable. Nothing to buy, assuming your pants/shorts have this feature.

How much was this option? Can it be retrofitted and did you get deviated stitching for an extortionate amount of money?? Is there Alcantara lining as standard? I'll probably have to buy several pairs of jeans before I get on the special edition waiting list too.

Jeans always have deviated stitching, so that's a no cost option, like Mojave Beige on the 992 S
