Door handle key cover

Are there any F56 compatible door handle with a key hole in it without the cover? I would rather have a handle like the R56 or an insert that has a hole in it so I can unlock/lock my door with the key without popping that cover off.

I run almost every single day and I only take the key with me if I am leaving the car at a park while I run. So, I have to pop that little cover off, lock it, put the cover back on. Then I repeat this when I get back. I'm going to lose or break that little cover eventually.

I know Honda would sell two different covers for their door handles. One had a hole for the key and the other didn't at all.

Maybe the R56 handle will work on an F56?

Nope, you will have to pop the cover off. You would have to run with the cover off. I have seen these pop off from time to time if they are bumped or removed all the time. I was thinking you could drill a hole on the cover enough to get the key in their?
