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)

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.

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.

I had two keys that were broke for one of my cars. My daughter broke them both. I think she's a little rough with things anyway as I have never broken the keys to my 9 year old Honda. I used a different key system to replace it last time. It was the shell that you have to get the key cut at the dealer, which costs extra in the long run. This was way cheaper and worked like a charm. It is strong and sturdy. I can't tell from new.

it breaks very easily

The key fobs did not even last a year. Both are broken and pieces of plastic fell out in chunks rendering the key fobs useless. Figures since these are cheapy made Chinese garbage. Not sure if these have a warranty or not but lesson learned. If you only need a replacement key fob that will last a few months, this may be for you but if you plan on keeping your vehicle for longer than that, you should consider a different product.Original review below:Received the two pack but one of the key fobs was defective and wouldn't snap shut. This is a cheaply made product but if you get a good one it should last for at least a couple years and it beats paying the ridiculous prices for an OEM key fob.

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
