Key Fob Shell Case Fit for Honda Keyless Entry Remote Car Key Housing Replacement with Free Screwdriver (Casing Only Without Blade)(Black) (Black Pack 2)

I was concerned after reading some of the comments about this fitting so tightly that it's can't be done right, but it was an excellent snug fit. You can be sure that the original key fob assembly was also tight fitting. You have to take your time, and be sure that you're putting things in the same position and orientation as the original, but it will eventually go together and be snug and solid. Perfect for my 2010 Honda Accord key. I don't see any point in paying any more for any other key fob case replacement.

This key case saved me a lot of money. The plastic shell on my key had cracked, but everything else was fine. I simply unscrewed the old case, popped out the little internal plastic box and the key blade, and it fit perfectly into the new case, which actually seems sturdier than the original one. When putting it back together, you shouldn't have to force anything too hard. To get the blade of the key into the new case, look for the grooves in the sides of the blade's plastic housing and slide them down into the corresponding grooves in the mouth of the case. Then, to get the two halves together, join them by the little hook on the key-ring end before pushing them together. In the package I received, there were no printed instructions, but it's pretty easy if you're willing to fiddle a bit or watch an instructional video.

Three days in, I'm delighted with this replacement key case for my 2012 Accord key. After reading reviews and studying pictures of this and other brands of repair cases, it seemed to be a good choice – competative price (for a pair, no less), sturdy-looking key-ring interface, and recessed panic button. Four case halves, two small plastic parts, two screws, and a small screwdriver – all packaged in small zip-lock-type bags – are included in the kit. While no instructions were provided, replacing old with new was pretty intuitive. Removal of the metal key shaft from the old key case required breaking it loose. Next step was insertion of the key shaft into a small part in the kit -- a very snug fit. This is actually a good feature, as it holds the shaft very firmly, but required some tapping with a hammer and small nail while supporting the small plastic part. It's important to seat the shaft in this part so the screw hole in the shaft is centered in the hole in the plastic part. Remove the electronic module from the old key case, set it in the new case, set the correctly oriented shaft/plastic part assembly in place, and carefully fit the two halves of the new case together. That process took some extra care as the two case pieces fit together very precisely. When the case halves are completely and properly together, insert and tighten one of the supplied screws and you're finished. I immediately tried all the buttons and they worked fine – no “dragging” in undersized or poorly made openings. Next I tried the “new” key in the ignition and door, and that worked fine, too. Other than lacking the Honda logo on the back, it looks and performs exactly like the original. All in all, a very satisfying experience.

With the first case it cracked after getting dropped a few times, and the screw kept getting loose, but the second one seems very sturdy. All in all, not a bad buy.

I bought this after my original key broke off from the remote part. Not too difficult to put together as long as you pay attention to what you’re doing. I had a few problems but they were my fault. Lol other than that the key looks good and does the job, and they even include a tiny screwdriver! I’m sure Honda would’ve charged double or more for the same key shell

All in all this was the best replacement casing I could find. I checked my order history and apparently it lasted me just under two years which for the price is excellent. I’d prefer an alternative that’s more sturdy. In general things I buy tend to last a long time and still look new when I’m ready to say goodbye. That’s not the case for this key casing. See pics where chunks of the casing just started coming out near the bottom. The Honda symbol does look genuine which is nice. Plastic is cheap and you have to line it up correctly to snap it shut which can take a few tries. I searched and searched for a sturdier alternative and couldn’t find one. You can feel that the plastic is lighter than the original and I think that’s the problem. The pics are from my key which I use most days. The other key that isn’t used as frequently seems to still be fine after two years. I think what the problem is that bc the plastic is so cheap the shearing force from turning the ignition has caused the breakdown. Given the pandemic, I was driving my car a lot less than what I’d typically do. Solution until there’s a stronger quality option: Buy these cases every few years, and this time I’m going to purchase a silicone skin also available on Amazon. Maybe that will help this last at least two years again or maybe longer? This time since spare key is still okay, I will have another casing to use in two years without having to order. To the manufacturer: thank you for this low cost replacement item. Honda drivers love our vehicles, and would really be thrilled to have a stronger more durable plastic option, and pay more for it. Last pic is after I replaced it the second time. If anyone has found a more durable option with the Honda logo please place in comments. (3rd purchase) 2023 update: basically lasts about a year. I used the silicon cover to try and provide more protection this time but I don’t know that it did anything. It seems to break down from the stress of turning the key. The plastic is just too flimsy to withstand the torque day after day. I plan to just keep buying these bc it’s cheaper than full key replacement.

Instead of making new key, this could be better option and price worthy.
