Does the job
I needed a new case as the flip mechanism on our old one had split so the key blade fell out. Be warned taking the innards out of the old case and putting into the new one is quite fiddly and delicate. There are some better videos out there showing how to dismantle the old case. Key points are remove your blade if you want to reuse by tapping out the retaining pin and also tap in the smaller retaining pin that sits under the blade before trying to open it. A good tip is also to put the case into a plastic bag. I popped it apart by inserting some round nosed pliers into the opening between the key holder and case once key is removed and gently levering appart. It works but one of the retaining lugs snapped off meaning the old case can no longer be used. Transferring the innards to the new case was simple but the old correct cut blade key was too thick to fit into the holder and I had to file about half a mm off for it to fit. Once done the key slotted in easily and the retaining pin was easily inserted. When you reassemble the case be sure to insert the release button correctly with the spring. Partially insert the top half of the case to engage the open end of the spring with the case and wind it one full turn anticlockwise before clipping together. Then insert the small Phillips screw and the case is firmly held together and you can stick the logo over. The assembled case with old key works perfectly but the key does protrude slightly so not quite as good as the original but does the job.

Very pleased with speed of delivery. Just waiting for my son to come help with replacing my key fob. As I don't want to mess it up !!!
Flipping Great
A good looking replacement key shell, the pcb fits well, the original blade didn’t fit easily into the blade holder meaning I had to file adjust slightly - would be 5 star but just 2.
