What is your opinion about the M performance key case?



I have not seen it yet. At the dealership they tell me that it is very big and that it bothers the pocket. They tell me that a conventional leather case is better. what is your opinion?

I have it. The one pictured isn't actually the one that goes with our keys.

That being said, it adds an incredible amount of bulk. It also makes it impossible to attach it to a key ring, so you're stuck carrying the fob solo. Really annoying in the pocket.

It became such an annoyance that I actually transitioned to using the digital key on my phone instead and no longer carry a physical key fob. I carry the key card in my wallet as a back up, but no fob anymore.

Thank you very much for the quick answer. everything clarified. I will buy the leather key case instead of the M performance one.

I got one. It is very bulky but I like it, it keeps the key protected from scratches and it feels and looks high quality.

Way to bulk and flipping it out to use the buttons is kind of annoying. Picked up a nice leather form fitting one from Story Leather.

Too bulky. I have one sitting in the box. Forgot to return it to the dealership.

Any other suggestions for key cases? Really going to miss just using my phone and don't have a need for physical keys otherwise.

Don't know why you need a case. I carried my last car's fob without for 9 years and it was fine when I sold it.
