Protective Remote Cover with Strap for Sony Bravia TV Remote RMF-TX621E / RMF-TX520U / RMF-TX500U
Product description
What it is and why people buy it
If you’ve ever had a TV remote slip off the sofa and hit the floor, you’ll know the frustration: batteries shift, buttons get awkward, and suddenly you’re troubleshooting instead of watching. This protective cover is designed to fit specific Sony Bravia remotes from the RMF-TX500 / RMF-TX520 / RMF-TX621 families, adding a shock-absorbing, anti-slip silicone case.
It also includes a strap (lanyard), so you can keep the remote close by hanging it next to the TV or on the side of the sofa. On paper, that simple anti-lost idea is often the biggest practical win—especially in busy households or rooms where remotes tend to “wander”.
Where it fits (and where it doesn’t)
This is not a universal case. The listing states it is made for Sony Bravia smart TV voice remotes such as RMF-TX500E, RMF-TX500U, RMF-TX500P, RMF-TX600U, RMF-TX600E, RMF-TX600P, RMF-TX621E, RMF-TX621U, RMF-TX520E, RMF-TX520P and RMF-TX520U.
At the same time, it clearly says it will NOT fit certain other Sony remotes (for example RMF-TX310E, RMT-TX100D, RMT-TX300E) and also not other-brand remotes. So if you’re buying “by remote shape” rather than by model number, you may end up disappointed.
It’s worth double-checking the exact model printed on your remote before ordering.
What you’ll notice in everyday use
The cover is described as easy to install and remove. That matters more than it sounds, because if a case is fiddly you’ll end up leaving it off—which defeats the whole point.
In normal use, you can expect two main benefits: - A silicone shell that cushions the remote when it falls, helping reduce the chance of damage. - Improved grip through anti-slip design, which should help prevent those “oops, it slid” moments.
The listing also mentions the case helps with issues like separation of the back and batteries if the remote is dropped, which is exactly the kind of hassle that can crop up after an accident.
A small micro-scenario: after dinner, you grab the remote from the sofa arm. Later it tips slightly when someone brushes past—you don’t feel it slide as easily, and if it does fall, the silicone cushioning is intended to take some of that impact.
The strap: practical, but it depends how you set it up
The strap is there to help stop misplacing the remote. It’s portable and described as anti-lost, with the idea that you can hang it by the sofa or next to the TV.
That’s handy, but it’s also one of those “depends” features. If your TV setup has a cluttered side area or you don’t like anything dangling near furniture, you might find yourself not using the strap as much as you thought.
Also, the listing is explicit that the strap is included with the case, but the remote itself is not included.

Is it worth it?
It makes sense if you own one of the listed Sony Bravia remotes and you want a straightforward way to protect it from everyday knocks, plus an extra layer of “where is the remote?” prevention.
You may want to skip it if: - you’re not sure about the exact remote model number, because the fit is not described as universal - you’re expecting it to work with remotes outside the listed Sony RMF/TX models
If you prioritise grab-and-go convenience and you tend to lose the remote around the living room, this kind of silicone cover with a strap is a sensible add-on. If you only ever keep your remote in a fixed dock and you’re careful, it may feel a bit extra.
