Open the case like that and you're likely to destroy the electronics inside!!

I expect there are many D3's owners with FOB's that look like filigrees, with all the rubber broken down.
I purchased a "replacement" Fob case from Hong Kong on Flea Bay, and just put it straight into the bin.
It was hard plastic and impossible to use around existing electronics.

with a cover (below) at a cheap price....

But after my first purchase, I am wary of the aftermarket covers and get by with some silicone to seal the holes and some care using the key.

I purchased one from someone in Australia who currently does not have them listed.

It was very similar in description to this and used the same photos.

The quality of this case was very similar to the Land Rover buttoned one the previous owner forwarded to me that he had ordered from the UK.

I then used the instruction from here

I received one of these during the week Land Rover 3 Button Remote Flip KEY Shell Case FOR Range Discovery Sport LR3 | eBay. Sydney supplier, very happy with it. I just need to swap the blade off my old case onto it.

Have just done a fob changeover with an Ebay key fob suggested by Oztourer (thankyou). I didn't bother with changing the rollpin/metal key over, just separated my old case with a trimming knife (carefully), and then transplanted my key section complete, and electronics over to the new case. I used Selleys "Plastifix" (a superglue with a primer pen) to put it together and it made a good seal.
Seems that superglue is not the best option for putting halves together.
Now for the other fob.
