The low tech metal key I could just keep in my pocket and it did not mind getting wet. I have slipped on rocks in a stream and gotten wet many times.Gjac wrote:
I could of replaced my older metal key for 75 cents, not cool.
My Honda in college had a metal key. It was super convenient because it also worked in my roommate's similar year Honda, and it also worked in his girlfriend's Honda, but only to start the car, it wouldn't open the doors.
Despite the convenience, it probably wasn't all that secure.
If I think I'll get somewhat wet, I just put it in a ziplock baggy in my pocket. When I go snorkeling, I put it in the plastic underwater cover with my cell phone (which itself is a glorified ziplock baggy). I rarely go anywhere without my cell phone, so having to handle a keyfob isn't much different (and if I had the right car, I could just use my phone as the key).
Or you can buy a purpose built keyfob drybag.
