Key fob in pocket inadvertently opens trunk when rubbed against something, need a solution

[Riley]

My key fob opens my trunk when I do not want it exposing all my stuff to be stolen. I currently have wrapped it in a old cloth face mask, which helps but I need a bullet proof solution. Ideas?

Thank you!

Have you tried adding a cover over the smart key? It's not nearly 100%, but it helps.

At work the fob sat on my desk. At home it sits on the kitchen counter. Has been 100% reliable to not open anything.

Tight pants.

I use this one. It requires a bit more pressure to activate any button which eliminates accidental alarm or trunk, though my purpose was to protect the fob itself incase of impact and also appearance.

I'll check it out!

Not "bulletproof" as you requested. Better, yes.

That looks exactly like what's on ours. Different brand/seller though. I'm sure both are excellent quality.

BTW, wearing cargo pants helps too. Much less likely to pinch on the contents inside.
