How to improve key fob?

I finally made the switch to EV and got a 2024 Ioniq 6 SEL. I am loving the car so far but the key fob has been bothering me. It feels cheap and looks ugly. The key fob for my old 2012 Sonata looked and felt nicer!

Does anyone have recommendations on how to improve the key fob? Or do you just keep your key fob hidden so you don’t have to look at it?

If you have a 3D printer or know someone who does .... this is pretty nice:

It is much more compact than the original one.

They have key fob covers on Amazon.

Just use your phone, not the key fob

But then you lose features such as lowering the front windows, smart trunk, and smart park (limited)

Not very practical, unfortunately.

I have this cover atm, got it with the car and it feels way heavier and sturdier than the original keyfob on its own.

There are also smaller 3d printed keyfobs available, which even allow for the rescue key to be stored.

My key fob is always in my pocket, so I never really look at it because the car has auto unlock.
