Fits great
I have a 2005 Lexus E330 key that got the shell broken. This shell fits well. It saved the key and saved me from buying a whole new key.The one on the left has OEM key shell. The right one has the new key shell.

Does the trick. Vastly cheaper than a mechanic
A bit of a tight fit, but everything does fit together even if I did need some gentle pressure with pliers to get the blade seated properly. A much, much better deal than having the mechanic replace the housing for over $100.

You have to break the plastic off the metal key component.
I blindly assumed it would be plug and play, but quickly realized that the metal key shaft is embedded in one half of the old key fob. Removing it was easier than I imagined though. grip the plastic with one pair of vise grips and the metal with a second pair, and twist, to work it apart...gently.Also the two halves don't close completely. They do at the 'back' where the key ring hole is, but they are slightly separated near the metal key shaft. I decided not to force it and strip the small screw.Also remember that teh logo is under black protective tape.Even with these nits, I will recommend. MUCH better than buying and programming a new key.

Looks just like the original key fob
Bought this for my son, I broke his Lexus key in the ignition trying to move it for street sweeping day. He said it was harder than expected to assemble BUT is incredibly sturdy and he's happy it closely resembles the original key more than some other key fob cases. Says that little bit of extra effort was worth it.

Not a smooth replacement but OK
Please note that this is not an easy DIY, could tell by orher reviews but it seemed the best for the lea$t, so I ordered.I did have some problems taking the old/ existing metal key from my 2002 Lexus RX300 out of the fob. The plastic piece that is designed to reinforce the front of the key when turning in the ignition seemed to be glued with some mighty strong adhesive. I tried to install the old key without replacing this piece, but it would not fit the new housing.After trying several times to get through the amazon bot to a human, then being transferred to the mfr’s bot, I posted this question to the item listing and received several answers within hours, 4 total replies. Other than marking the responses as helpful, there doesn't seem to be a way to acknowledge how helpful this was to me, as I didn't want to break something more than it was already! When one person said he ‘took a Dremel tool’ to grind it off, I was able to use small locking pliers to snap off the plastic in 3-4 bites.It also helped to look at the mfr photos to see what the metal key looked like, I wasn't sure what was inside the plastic piece.After getting my key out of the old case & deciding that I could not use any of the old, existing parts (goodbye to the gold Lexus L) the only challenge was inserting my key in the new reinforcing part; first determining which side would go UP, pushing the key in by tapping alternately a little on each side until it was in all the way.I can't tell anyone if it will last as long as the first key fob (20 years) but hopefully, it will last until I have to replace the car. Might be a good idea to order 2 of these.

Made it work, but getting something else.
First of all, I knew this is just a generic shell for my key. (2009 Lexus RX 350) However trying to install this thing was a nightmare. Please note that you will need to break your old key off your fob to and insert it into this housing to mount into the shell. During the installation process of my old key it cracked the housing. It's clearly too small while trying to insert my old key. (Please see picture)Secondly, the button housing for the remote module did not fit out of the box. There was excess plastic that wasn't deburred (Edges not finished and shaved/filed) so I had to file down the button holes just to get the module to fit. And of course after doing that it's not a proper fit. I had to wedge the shell down start to screw in them together, but of course seeing how cheap this plastic is I was scared it would crack the whole shell. (See picture)Lastly, don't buy this shell. It's cheaply made and doesn't fit to OEM spec to my key fob. You're better off buying a fob with an uncut key and getting it cut to your vehicle to insure your module will fit with the key already in place.

Perfect fit
Works great to replace the housing remote of my RX 300.

Wow! This is great, and pretty easy using pliers!
I am borrowing my mother-in-law’s 2004 Lexus RX 330, and the key fob had a small part broken to the point where the metal key part was loose, and the battery was dead to boot!At first search, I found the same item that includes an uncut key for around the same price, so I am glad that I kept looking and found one that you can use your current key with.I was a little confused by the instructions on this site, because they don’t make too much sense, but in a video review I watched, the man said to use pliers to gently push the metal key into the plastic slot. This was the one thing I had a small issue with, because I was trying to push it in without pliers. Trying to push with your fingers just doesn’t work unless you have thumbs of steel. I was still nervous that it wouldn’t fit until I got home and grabbed my pliers.The metal key part slides tightly down into the frame of the smallest part where there’s a slot for the key to go. Slide the key carefully down all the way until the wide end settles at the opening, then use pliers and gently alternate pushing on each side until it’s completely in and the hole in the metal key matches the hole in the plastic part.Then it’s as simple as putting the key part that you just assembled into the bottom of the case first, and then push the keypad in to match the button holes. Snap the back cover on, screw in the little screw, and voila! There was even a piece of black tape covering the Lexus symbol, which I didn’t realize it had, so it was an unexpected plus!Before I assembled it, I opened up the keypad and replaced the dead battery, so now I have a practically brand new Lexus key fob that works like a charm, and cost under $10 including 2 Amazon basics lithium batteries. Furthermore, I received my order less than 24 hours after ordering. Thank you!!!
