Default Key fob is broken...suggestions?

As you can see in the attachment, the fob is broken. What options do I have to replace? Would prefer a reasonably priced solution.

Stauber replacement shell. $10 delivered.

https://www.amazon.com/STAUBER-Lexus.../dp/B01BUB1AHO

The link is to a red one, but there are black and other colors too. I purchased one last month and while slightly bulkier in the pocket, it will not break again hopefully. someone should've come up with this years ago.

It's a 1995.

Hmm, doesn't look like that will fit a 1995. Can you think of an alternative?

Doesn't seem to be many options outside of the OEM key like this one

Troll Ebay for awhile you might find something cheaper

Would love to have an OEM but that price is steep. Wonder what the additional charge is to have it programmed and cut?

I purchased two key cases for almost nothing. I had to find a locksmith that could program it for $35. I watched him it is a lot of turning the wheel lock to lock stepping on the brake in the right order. He charged me separately to cut the keys. I found the programming sequence on the net somewhere two years ago.

Can you link me to the key cases?
