Problem. Idea. Solution.

My remote car starter is 100% awesome in every way except one: I keep accidentally pressing the buttons when it is in my pocket.

Then I thought of Shapelock, which is the awesome plastic stuff that comes in beads. In 160°F water, it turns clear and putty-like so you can mold it.

Voilà! A removable, friction-fit cover.

    Good solution, though seriously you have to question how the engineering geniouses who came up with this one failed to consider the use-case scenario involving putting one’s keychain in one’s pocket and potential complications arising therefrom.

    Also, you drive a Viper?

    Also, “2-way”? So your car can also start up your pants remotely?

    Okay, I’m done.

      I know, right?

      As a matter of fact, yes, the car *can* start up my pants remotely. Whenever I accidentally press button and the car is out of range, my pants start buzzing. This is only occasionally appropriate.
