Never bought one of these so is it a specific manufacturer or can anyone recommend one?

Try theftblock.com
They offer storage boxes in a variety of colours (grey is classy looking) and key pouches for when you’re out and about. Highly recommended - signal totally blocked - i tested both, sitting inside the car, engine didn’t start.
I don’t work for them by the way - just a happy S3 owner who sleeps soundly at night knowing my car will still be outside in the morning

Although a pain the proverbial to keep fitting , you might want to consider one of these also. More of a visual deterrent which might put off scumbags.

Simply T Star around £18 .

These boxes work brilliantly. Far better than pouches which often use Velcro and so don’t seal reliably,

With this box I can put my keys in it, shut the box, and even putting the box right next to the car it won‘t unlock.

The new keys like ours deactivate after a short time so thieves can’t use repeaters to easily steal cars like in days gone by, so these things aren’t really required.

Unless I’ve misread!

They use a signal distance measurement.

It was my understanding they have a timeout feature. If the fob senses no movement for X amount of time since it was sat down then it essentially powers down until it is physically moved. I could have misinterpreted the document from Audi though.

I was aware of that but just an extra precaution

I bought a pack of these (medium).
Stood next to door handle with the velcro open and the car won't unlock nor will it start when sat inside.

These work very well and can be carried comfortably in a pocket. One slight draw back is the Audi RS keys are quite bulky compared to the Golf 8R slim key fob. An old microwave oven provides as good if not better protection than a pretty box, one to think about.

I ordered the defender signal blockers on Amazon, fairly cheap and put the key in and took it too the car and pressed the botton, nothing happened so can confirm they work well.

With all the options, and I apologise for stating what may be obvious, but it's definitely worth testing whatever method or product you decide. I've seen a few stories of people spending a fortune on bags/boxes with good reviews but their received products let them down when most needed.
Captian obvious moment over!

It was mentioned purely as a visual deterrent to go along with a faraday pouch/box.
Your thoughts on the device is duly noted
