IMO these are the best. Reasonable price, color coordinated and fit tightly. None of the leather one's fit like these.

Are these "sticky" in your pocket, hard to get out of your pocket, etc?? I've got something similar to these on an ipod but don't keep the ipod in my pocket, it stays connected in the vehicle.

I keep my smartkey inside a closed leather wallet.

No problem getting them out of a pocket yet has a good grip so secure in your hand.

There are some drawbacks to the case that didn't bother me but it might be a deal breaker for you but figured I point them out.

1) it shortens the signal range since the key is now fully enclosed. I don't press the buttons on the remote much and use the smart touch function most of the time.
2) valet key is now enclosed and you must open the case if you need the key
3) the siren button is hidden (you only see the first three buttons

I don't use any of the last two items listed enough to care so again, no issues for me. If I did ever need to use them at some point, just pop the cover and you will have access to them.

Just got two of these for $7 on Amazon. It's really good for the price.

Really don't see the point of these? Can someone advise why they would buy one?

Here's my other key. It's all beat up from being in my pocket or being thrown around. If I could go back in time and get one for it when I got the car, I would. And other than the cracks it keeps gunk out of the buttons. But mostly it's because you can get them in different styles and colors.
