I'm thinking that the thickness of the leather (however it's not very thick) may be enough to keep the buttons from being activated when one's pants are too tight--for whatever reason. I haven't tried it as I don't have tight pants any more--that's another story though, and not worth telling here.

That's a good idea! My wife has the standard Lexus fob cover that came with the car and it should give greater protection against accidental button pushes. I personally don't like the extra bulk and prefer my fob "naked".

I wish they had the buttons sunken'd in more to avoid it being pressed when leaning on something. Also making the buttons smaller would help too. I've never run into this problem with my 09 RX350 remote. It has smaller buttons and more deep into the remote.

Wow! This happened to me earlier this month with my IS. Unfortunately, I was parked in front my buddy's house. It just so happened that it started raining too. Needless to say, my seats were soaked!!
