Ok, so I have to admit I am impressed with the key fob covers. They fit perfectly. Front and back cover aligns so well it makes me think they could fall in the pool and still work (full disclosure: I won't be testing this) :)

They are the soft TPU plastic kind, but surprisingly they are still pretty glossy. It's a good look. Although it does take a slight bit more pressure to push the button through the case, it's something I'm pretty sure I'll be used to in a day or two.

They make the key look a little bigger, but hard to tell unless you have one with the cover next to a key without the cover. The look is so much better than the stock aqua blue/grey color. Not sure where that idea came from at Hyundai.

My wife liked the white and I liked the black so it's perfect. Although it doesn't really matter much since most days I use my phone/NFC key, now we know who's key is which.

Great buy at $5.60 each.

Btw, what's the diff. 23 SEL/24 LTD?
Great minds think alike!

I've been taking some notes so I can post a differences thread. I want to wait until I have the LTD at least a month before writing it up since I had the SEL for 6 months or so before I was crashed. Just to make sure I'm not posting based on things that I notice consistently rather than just an initial "oh I have a sunroof now" :)

FWIW, I once ran a Toyota(?) fob through a wash cycle with the laundry. Didn't faze it at all. When I opened it up to check I could see why. The circuit board was enclosed in a tidy little silicone molding that would likely protect it from immersion for days. Swim with it, dive to the bottom of the deep end, push all the buttons, no issue.

I've opened others since then, all with similar construction. So my expectation now is that Hyundai's fob will perform as well, and if not there will be simply no excuse for it.

I wonder what it costs to replace a fob and have it paired with the car?
