    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Anyone found one available with the remote start cutout or done a mod to one for the hole?
 
They will likely hit the market in the coming month or two. If you need one now, get a cheap one on Amazon/etc. and just put a dot on the spot where that button is so you can still press it (assuming you buy a temporary soft protector).
 
Here are a few fob covers I purchased off of Amazon.

I will have to say, the Carbon Fiber one is my favorite, the leather is nice too, but not as tight around the body and the remote start is covered up.

Happy to share the links if you like.

Thanks for the pictures. I did order the leather ones and punched some holes around the remote start button but it looks tacky to me. I must admit the carbon fiber ones do look nicer and it actually cover the buttons with the cutout for remote start. Can you give me the link for the carbon fiber one?

Here you go.

Thanks for sharing. It seems the description and photos would indicate that it does not have the cutout for the remote start button, but your photo shows that it obviously does. Guess I’ll give it a shot and return it if it doesn’t have the cutout.


Here you go.

 
I haven't bought one yet but i did an amazon search on "Telluride fob cover" and several came up but some results didn't mention Telluride compatibility. Even so, one that I looked at mentioned Telluride fit in the buyer comments "2020 Telluride perfect fit". Is that a hole for remote start I see ? This one:Amazon fob cover

No, I don’t think so. That oval hole is for the KIA logo. The remote start for 2021 models is rectangular and towards the top of the same side of the fob as the logo.

Thank you for info, I couldn’t find anything I liked initially on Amazon, for some reason never saw these. Then I read your comments on Etsy, just ordered one from going to your link. If it fits perfectly, I will buy a second for spare key. 2021 telluride, wait and see.
 
Good find! But mercy that's over $100 for 2.
Probably cut a hole on a 2020 version to keep the cost down.
I bought one of these (in Green). I was impressed enough that I'm going to buy another. Hand made and very good quality. Yes, it's pricy, but a very nice bit of leather work.

Update

Received key fob cover yesterday. Fit perfect, love it. I drop my keys all the time this should protect it. Bought it on Amazon on Wednesday and had a $4 discount. Great price, originally $19.99 paid $15.99. Thanks again Conzman for info.

That's a better option than what I purchased. I bought a red and a black version that were made of a cast metal material. The inner sleeve was silicone (like this one), and they had a faux carbon fibre finish (like this one). They do a great job of protecting the fob, but they are heavy, and the metal really cuts down on the wireless signal transmission from the fob. I literally have to stand next to the driver's door to get it to respond. These ones in ABS wouldn't have that issue, and the bonus is that they're half the cost of what I purchased.

Quasi related question: Why do all the product links titled as Amazon redirect to kdmwarehouse.com? That's just plain wrong.
 
Yeah, I bought the ontto ones off of Amazon - I wish I had read the reviews first. They work fine if you push any of the buttons on the fob. Also, no problems starting the car with the fob in my pocket. But unlocking/locking the doors by pushing the door handle button while the fob is in my pocket is an exercise in frustration. I would say it works maybe 25% of the time, at best. The rest of the time I end up having to pull the fob out and hit the unlock or lock button on the fob. And the weird thing is the car always recognizes my approach (side mirrors open up), so why the door won't then unlock is a mystery. Either way, I'm chalking it up as a $40 loss for buying two ontto covers, and I'll just buy another brand instead. Too bad, because I love how they look.

The forum auto-replaces any links out to amazon to drive traffic to the forum-associated store... drives me crazy and seems kinda... gross. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
