Leather key cover w/AMG logo?

Not exactly a mechanical mod, but has anyone purchased one of the leather key covers with the AMG logo on eBay? Thanks to Keyless Go, I have no need for the actual buttons on the remote.

Example

They are not that expensive, so the risk is not great, but if a supporter of the forum has something similar, I'd prefer to buy from them.

I did not like the quality of leather, not soft ... not a Nappa leather

I found later a similar model that seemed made with a soft leather but it was available only with the Star logo.

Ya I hear you there... only having one key right now is a bit frightening.

I like these covers, glad to hear they worked out alright.
