Aaaaagh!!! Managed to drop my ECU this afternoon and got a tiny chip in the glass. Hardly noticeable to anyone but me. I was gutted though 
How many of you use the second plastic key regularly? I really dislike it as the glass one is so much nicer and brings a grin to my face just looking at it. Much prefer using it to the plastic one but at what risk? I understand it's expensive to replace

They really ought to supply two. I took the plastic one this morning and it looked wrong sitting in its slot.
I believe that is an option now.I never use the plastic one, looks crap. The glass one just lives in it's little leather pocket thing when not in the car. They could have atleast made the plastic one better looking.

IIRC there is a little leather "wallet" for them?
They only had 'DBS' ones available, which makes me smile when I see it.
I only ever use the glass one, except for servicing etc, otherwise no real point having it

When I got my V8V I decided it was crazy not to use the gorgeous crystal key and that I would be careful with it... After about 9mths I finally dropped it from sufficient height onto a hard surface and chipped the corner off the crystal. From that moment on I put it away and drove with a plastic key
Then I got the V12V and I decided it was crazy not to use the gorgeous crystal key and that I would be even more careful with it second time around. After about 9mths I finally dropped it again and cracked the crystal quite badly. Since then I have been driving with the plastic key
They really ought to have a little leather strap that goes over the top of the wallet. On both occasions when I dropped it I did so because I tipped it up slightly whilst in my hand and it slid out of the wallet. I actually think the wallet is more likely to make you drop it than just putting the glass key in your pocket. Bad design

Mine was actually broken when I collected the car but I did not notice until I got home. Too late!
