Default New key fob for my range rover

Hi there! I'm looking to see if anyone can recommend a sturdy, well priced key fob casing... mine has some damage to it to where the microchip is exposed...

looking to transfer the insides and the key to a new casing

Yes they are sealed from the factory. So destruction of the old fob is the only way it goes. I used a cutting disc on my dremel to cut around the top than popping it off with a pair of needle nose pliers
