Default Key fob button shield

I keep my keys in my pants pocket and I'm frequently accidentally pressing the buttons while lifting something or bending over, then my car alarm is sounding. I'm sure my neighbors love this. Is there any cover I can buy to keep from pressing these buttons unintentionally? Honestly you don't even need the buttons. If I could find a 3D model of the fob I could 3D print a cover myself.

I have a case off Amazon and personally like it and have never accientally pushed buttons with the fob in it. The case adds a bit of bulk that some may not appreciate: Here is the link:

There is also a more involved option of getting the GS F key card (no physical buttons) purcahsed and programmed for your GS350: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-gs-350-a.html

You can get these fobs at https://ekcstore.com. The are still pressable for sure but maybe they will offer enough cover that you aren’t doing it by accident.

Thanks both for the suggestions! I did buy the Amazon TPU cover. The quality is not great, but so far so good. The leather one looks nicer & higher quality. I think either will solve my problem. Worst case I inset a small metal shield behind the cover to block the buttons, but I think the cover will offer enough resistance. I love this car, but there are a few annoyances, and now I think there is one less annoyance! Thanks Again!

I got one a while back I have been using very like the one you linked. I like it but it was much bigger than I thought before getting it. Not bad though.
