Key shell keeps breaking
Good afternoon all! I have replaced my key 3 times now and my current just broke on me again! Of course I have been using the same shell off of ebay. Is there one that is unbreakable?

I'm also on my third. I've been using the spare for quite some time now. I gotta order some off of ebay again. I am thinking about switching the key to the flip out style though. I know some members on here have that as I remember seeing a thread on it.

some folks got that foldable one from ebay about a yr ago. havent heard anymore feedback from it of how its holding up now since the thread stopped. maybe someone can chime in on this who has it, its a known prob for the lexus oem key fob. i replaced 2 myself and it has a crack near the screw area already.

I remember my key was getting weak and i was holding it from the same spot to turn on my car.
one day my girl had to start the car for me and she didn't know how weak it was. shattered the key.
I couldn't start the car at ALL. but seriously just make sure to hold the strongest part of the key when starting

for the link u guys posted for the key fob (flip key), does the chip fit directly right in? all is needed is to cut the key?
my concern is trunk button, unlock, and lock keys dont match up or so modding is needed, the cutting part is easy.
on the side note, how much is it to cut keys?
