       9 . The remote control protection apparatus according to  claim 7 , 
 a) wherein said remote control has at least two activation buttons thereon; and,    b) wherein said coating is position on said first face of said envelope such that when said remote control is contained within said envelope, said coating encircles said at least two buttons.    
   
   
       10 . The remote control protection apparatus according to  claim 3 , further including a light emitting apparatus contained with said envelope.  
   
   
       11 . The remote control protection apparatus according to  claim 3 , further including a light emitting apparatus secured to said envelope.  
   
   
       12 . A combination comprising: 
 a) an electronic control apparatus for a vehicle, said electronic control apparatus having at least two activation buttons; and,    b) an envelope of pliable material containing said remote control apparatus and having, 
 1) a first face and a second face,  
 2) A first opening across a first side of said envelope, said first opening having a closure mechanism associated therewith, and,  
 3) a second opening on a second side of said envelope.  
   
   
   
       13 . The combination according to  claim 12 , wherein said first face of said envelope is substantially clear and wherein said activation buttons on said electronic control apparatus are viewable through said first face.  
   
   
       14 . The combination according to  claim 13 , wherein said first face includes a coating for emitting light in a dim environment.  
   
   
       15 . The combination according to  claim 14 , wherein said coating for emitting light in a dim environment is position in association with each of said at least one of said activation buttons of said electronic control apparatus.  
   
   
       16 . A combination comprising: 
 a) a remote control apparatus for a vehicle, said remote control apparatus having at least two activation buttons;    b) an envelope of pliable material contains said remote control apparatus and having, 
 1) a first face and a second face,
