Folding key?

Hi everyone,
I want to buy a new key shell and I am interested on the folding key shell (look pic)

Is there anyone who has bought something like this? Is it worth it? What about quality etc? The only thing that scares me is, if there is any chance of the key to brake into the ignition while i turn the engine on (due to the force). It's China anyways.
Thanks

Hi. I have one. It's quite simple and easy to transfer the transponder to the new casing. Then you just have to cut the key part

Hi thanks for the response.
Is the key durable? What about the mechanism? Is it durable too?

Its made in china. So the plastic quality wont be the same as the original one. I am using mine since 2 weeks only. The mechanism seems to be ok. I suggest you buy one on Ebay instead of AliExpress. Those on AliExpress are cheaper as the quality also.

I did bought from eBay the exact same as the picture I posted on the top. To be honest I don't care about the plastic quality. I can wrap it with carbon vinyl just like I did on my original key shell. All I am worried about is the metal if it's strong or not.
Guess I will see in a couple of weeks when it will arrive.
