Flip key covers

For all my fellow flip key holders, has anyone looked into or are currently using a protective case for the key fob?

I bought these from Amazon. Fit acceptably, buttons work normally. The big slot on the side is unavoidable due to key flip design, and it makes the cover a little loose there, so keeping a key ring through the loop helps hold the cover in place on the fob.

So our key fob's are already too large. Are these covers very thick or make them a bit more difficult to pocket? I do like the concept.

The silicone covers are a little thicker, and grippy, which I like - my purpose for using key fob covers is because I seem to drop my keys regularly, and I don't want the electronic fob to shatter. There are thinner covers too - leather, carbon look, etc, - search around on Amazon and see what matches the buttons on your key fob.
