Not a fan of adding a glove or cover to the key fob. Three different Lexus fobs so far: Type 2 with the GX, Type 6 with the RCF, and now the Type 4. It didn’t take long to miss the earlier designs.
The LC fob definitely looks nicer, but it feels bigger and the sharper edges make it a bit awkward to hold. The key card is an option, but the physical buttons are still preferred on the occasions the car actually gets driven.

How's your key fob look? I've had my LC since 10/2022. Expressing that you're not a fan of something that protects your key fob is odd. It's a $100k car, not a Corolla. Do you also have an uncovered smartphone? iPhones aren't very comfortable to hold...
I keep both my Key Fobs in third-party cases. The Lexus one is on the left. And yes, the Lexus supplied one is, IMHO, flimsy As far as my phones, I carry them in holsters on my belt and use them uncovered
Yes I have a minimalist case on my phone. It's basically just for grip on the phone's casing and does little to protect the phone screen. But I dont buy flagship phones. My current one is a Samsung A35 5G. Prior one I had for 5 years. I just put a screen protector on and a minimalist grip case.
For the key fobs it's just odd to me to have a leather cover where the cross-pieces are crooked compared to the buttons. I am using it without the sleeve, with a farraday box that is small enough to carry with me. I lock the LC when I get out, ensuring no one is within eyesight for an amplifier "relay" attack to steal my LC, and put the fob in the farraday box to block the signal so no one can do a relay attack while I am at lunch/dinner.
Am I overly paranoid? Probably. But I'll never regret superfluous security precautions if my LC does NOT get stolen.
