Protecting the display key

I was looking at options for protecting the display key. I don’t want to increase the size much and didn’t want it to be a material that wouldn’t slide in and out of my pocket easily.

So my question is has anyone attempted to wrap their display key maybe with clear film or if playable enough Xpel film.

I dropped my car off to be tinted and have the roof wrapped. Saw their xpel display but didnt get the idea until after I left.

Any thoughts on this or share what you have done.

My main concern is cracking the display of scraping the sides up from a drop

Does it wirelessly charge through the case or do you have to plug it in?
