Since I am going with the blue, I am going with deAutoKey on the amazon listing, shipping looks quicker.

And deAutoKey replied to my question quickly about the hole on the back of the key, they told me some model keys have a logo on that side. Mine does not, but it does not bother me enough not to buy it.

Transparent key cover came in. Looks fine, does the job, feels good in the hand.





If you are bothered by the oval shape of the opening for the BMW symbol, do not get this cover. It will be hard to squeeze it into a perfect circle because the width of the key is to blame for the side to side stretching of the opening.

That said, it does not bother me at all. Got the cover for functional reasons.

I don't have pics as I have been busy, but same thing as you said, looks and feels good, shipped quickly.

And yes, when you first look at it, you cannot notice the circle is off, but it is, I cannot see that being an issue, I already had people ask me where I got the M3 Blue Key cover and I only had it installed for about 3 days.

Overall, happy with the purchase, the raised silicone protects the buttons from scraping on tables or keys.

I can see myself buying red for when I wrap my car red.

Orange is the new key fob

I really like it - these keys are way to expensive for me to not try to protect it.

Liking the orange, I have the light blue now, it is in the photo in main post so I never got around to taking a photo myself.

Had it installed for 1 week, and everyone liked it, I did point out the circle not molding exactly and circle on back, and no one seemed to mind, everyone ordered from the same amazon listing and last night at our meet we were comparing all the colors. They all look good, might get a photoshoot next week for this thread. lol

I picked one up a month ago in black for 5.99 including shipping on Ebay. Well worth the small cheese for the protection. When I picked up my car @ Shelley BMW for an oil change, the hottie at checkout said after picking up the key fob " Ooh I like! ".

Bought a few of these for gifts, I'm always surprised how many people don't know these exists, then realized I had no idea until I saw this thread.

how long did it take to arrive???

from China, never have good experience with small packages that are cheap as they ship it with no tracking and I receive the item about 40% of the time.

Larger items from China is normally better as they ship with tracking.

I ordered all my covers from deAutoLEDs.com for Christmas and they arrived quickly. I just ordered one from that website, I will check out quality and time it takes to arrive, for $1.99 I don't mind seeing as it is my go to gift now.

I didn't like the cutout for the horn button since the m235i fob I have doesn't have that button, so I cutout the little strip. It is minor, but it looks much better.

still like the amazon, shipping was quick and the product has been holding up for over 6 months with no issues:

others I tried felt rubbery and that one is more smooth even though the cutout is there it has yet to bug me.
