Here's another way to keep the fob key from opening in your pocket. I opened up my fob, removed and reinstalled the spring to reduce the tension on the key blade. It's been several weeks and with the reduced key tension, the key never opens in my pocket.
Here's the inside of the fob with the cover removed. You need to remove the four torx (T6) screws.
Here's all the pieces of the disassembled fob.
Here's the key and spring in place ready to reassemble.
Detail of tab on spring and matching slot on case. The spring tab goes in slot on case. To reassemble with normal spring tension, you would need to rotate cover to wind the spring tighter before screwing the case back together.
Here's how far the key opens with the detensioned spring. The spring is not strong enough to open the key all the way.
