    My parents have a new Lexus GS with the SmartAccess sytem (like SKS). Their dealer sent them a leather key pouch for the smartkey. Apparently, Lexus owners (those without key rings and other keys) were complaining that their valet attendants had no ring to hang up the key fob. The leather pouch fits the key fob very well and has cutouts for the lock/unlock/panic buttons. It has a loop in one corner.

    Anyone seen these for the Prius SKS fob?

    Hmm a pouch would be nice. Then I don't have this fob hanging around my belt hooks.

    Thanks for checking that out. Unfortunately for me, no Lexus dealer for at least 50 miles.

    I did try the Lexus GS pouch on my Prius key, but it didn't fit properly since the keys are two different sizes. Maybe the Lexus dealer will have more than one size for the different models with SmartAccess (GS, IS, etc.). Please let us know.

    I've been using a small bag my niece gave attendees of her wedding which was filled with bird seed to throw at the B&G. It's a bit 'girly' made of lace, but since it lives in my pocket no one really sees it. I use it to prevent the smart key from slipping out of my pocket, and you can see and use the buttons through the holes in the lace. Note to self...must get leather, more butch.

    In a previous thread, tag had posted pictures of leather fob covers, from Remotetotes.com. Tag said he bought the large size, and that it fits snuggly on the Prius fob.

    Those look nice and are certainly reasonably priced. The Lexus pouch is a custom fit but may not work for the Prius fob.

    My key fob has a small ring where the hidden key is for hanging and stuff. I use it qutie often. Do other key fobs not come with this?

    Mine did also, but I removed it as it kept snagging my pocket.

    YEP! ... That was me, purchased two of the large cases one for my wife's car and one for mine (colors to match vehicles). They work great and the sellers ships fast. Enjoy

    jezroj, now that you have the large, do you think that is still the best fit for the fob. I was thinking about getting the medium size based on the dimensions posting on the site. It is 1/4 inch shorter and 1/4 inch wider. What do you think?

    I just got 2 large pounches, and they fit nicely (a little snug, but this might actually be for the best - no internal sliding). I think that these things are great. Thanks for those providing info for these useful devices.

    I know this thread is old, but I finally got a chance to take pics of the Lexus GS fob pouch. I felt I still need to post for those curious.

    I purchased the large leather fob cover from remotetotes.com.

    I had a very hard time trying to jam my fob into the cover. It practically tore the cover at the seams!

    IMO, the $10 that I paid for this item was not a good value. I'm just going to keep the fob in my pocket from now on.
