I've just bought a 520d G30 from BMW and on Friday I'll be collecting it from the dealership.

It also comes with one of these new display keys but I've seen it already and it has a few scratches on it through wear and tear. (The car was an ex-demo).

I'd like to get a case for it to protect it, plus also add a key fob to the end, so I can hang it on my key chain. Can anyone recommend a decent leather case that looks and fits well. I've seen a ton of examples from Aliexpress and eBay, but they look a bit cheap, and they're not leather. The genuine case from BMW means you can't even use the display key as it's inside a pouch which I don't want.

Ideas?

It's basically one of these:



I've got a few features in my car that work with the key, but I've heard the same story from a few people. Plus it's very laggy I heard.

The new standard key does look nice though! I need a nice key ring for that too....my Montblanc one has seen better days which is a shame:

So I ended up buying a cheap Chinese cover for the display key and one of these for the standard one....



I get the feeling I won't use the display key much and I'll probably end up ordering a spare standard key for the wife irked
