Decision:

i bought this as a gift for my partner who's always misplacing and banging up their car key, and honestly, my expectation was that it would be just another flimsy cover. but the reality is, it's fairly effective. it snaps on easily and stays put, making the key feel more secure in a pocket full of junk. i was worried it might block the signals or something, but everything works just fine—locking and unlocking the car is seamless. for the price, it's a small thing that could save a lot on repairs, and it blends in without looking tacky. not the fanciest accessory, but it does the job well enough for daily chaos.

• Pros: it fits my car key perfectly, like it was made just for it, and it keeps the buttons easy to press without taking it off, which is super handy. the protection is solid—i've dropped it a few times and no scratches or damage, plus it seems to keep moisture out fairly well.
• Cons: the material feels a bit cheap and plasticky, and it could be wrong, but it might not hold up to really rough handling over time. also, it only works for specific car models, so if you have something else, it's useless.
