Zippered, Leather M Key Fob Holder

Who makes these? I've seen something on eBay when I do a search, but am trying to find a manufacturer site so that I can look at them (colors,options). Thanks.

I think they are made by some Chinese manufacturer. They're not licensed to use the M trademark and they ship directly from China which allows them to stay beyond the reach of the law.

I don't think there is an OEM website.

Have you actually seen one in the wild? I saw those too on ebay, but my couple of experiences buying stuff from unknown Chinese companies has been poor (low quality materials and fit) so I don't do it any more.

I ordered The 3d Design one in Black with blue stitching from IND. Perfect quality, you never have to take the key out. Im probably gonna order one in white as well.

I've not seen one beyond eBay, and the very concern you mention is why I was asking for direction; I was suspicious. I've found another cover that is a BMW licensed product that I might order, but was just surveying the forum to insure that there isn't something out there that I had not caught. Thanks for responding to my inquiry!

I have the 3D design case and I don't like it. Because it's bulky and the leather is hard like saddle leather. It is high quality though if you like saddle leather.

I also have this which I like because it's Sleek and made from Nappa.
