Replacing key case

[James19181]

When I got my Octavia a couple of months ago the loops on both keys for attaching to a keyring were broken as in this picture:

 

 

I replaced the case with one off ebay for around a fiver, and now that one has broken too.

 

Has anyone else had much problem with these? Do you think I got unlucky with a low quality replacement and should try another seller, or has anyone got any advice as to where they got a decent replacement from? I don't really fancy paying what Skoda are asking for an OEM key...

 

My mate also has a TT which has a slightly different design, and seems more robust, like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A2-A3-A4-A6-A8-2-Button-Remote-Key-Fob-Case-Blank-HAA-Key-CR2032-Battery-/110969846685?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Safety_Security&hash=item19d6517b9d

 

Has anyone tried sticking an Skoda blade and internals in one of them?

 

Cheers

There is a chap on here called Action Man and he will sort you a nice replacement fob and key out. You will find a thread in the group buy section.

A guy i used to work with had this problem alot because he 6000 keys and keyrings attached to it.

That could be it... For now i've drilled a hole in the corner and put a key ring through jt - feels much more secure!

it's unusual for s new case to break like that after only a few months, even if it was a cheap Ebay case! do you have an excessive amount of keys attached to it?

 

Oh & i'm the guy acepower84 mentioned! You can't use the Audi case to fit your internals because the shape of the circuit baords are different, i do have another option for key style though.
