Lotus Emira Key Fob cases - initial run

[KJD]

Sounds like I will end up with quite a few variations.. based on what you have said, will need to go with:

Material	Stitching
Alcantara	Black Stitching
Alcantara	Yellow Stitching
Alcantara	Red Stitching
Alcantara	Blue Stitching
Black Leather	Black Stitching
Black Leather	Yellow Stitching
Black Leather	Red Stitching
Black Leather	Blue Stitching
Yellow Leather	Yellow Stitching
Green Leather	Yellow Stitching
Red Leather	Red Stitching

Will also try for a Seneca Blue leather, but this will likely be in a future batch. The other colours I have tested and used for the Eletre already, so should be ok to do.

Thanks

Hi @Bancho

What's the best way for us in the UK like you to order these?
Will you be putting them on your website?

Cheers.

 

[Bancho]

Hi Banco,

Thanks again, where are located in the UK, I am Stone, Staffordshire.

As from my previous post:

2 x Emira black leather with red stitching

2 x Eletre Black (with or without red stitching)

If you private message your bank details, happily pre pay

Hi Roland,
Nice to meet you virtually! I am based down in Maidenhead/Windsor.

There is a new batch of Eletre ones I should be receiving tomorrow. This batch does include some stock of black with red stitching, previously i only did black with yellow stitching.

Not sure if you have the Eletre yet, but one of the quirks we have come across is that the key battery only lasts around 3 months at the moment due to the UWB technology. So I've worked with a packaging supplier to relaunch these in a giftbox with some bits to help with that regard. Don't want to produce lots of packaging for it to just go to landfill, so importantly this packaging has a purpose.

Note this is going to be slightly higher in price as the giftbox includes a small screwdriver to open and close the cover, Sim Ejector tool to help open the Eletre Key and the box has 2 slots to store batteries for the key. Designed so owners can keep the box in the car or their house and have everything they need to change over the battery as needed.

I will send you the link for them once I have put them up on the website (likely tomorrow evening). See photo attached for reference. Up to you if you want to order the Eletre ones first or wait till the Emira ones are in too.

I have ordered the initial Emira batch, so again will post the link for that once I have the stock in hand (Dont want to take orders until stock is in hand and i can show pictures of exactly what you are buying). For clarity, the emira keycovers will not be in a giftbox as that will take more time to produce, require higher order quantity and also the Emira doesn't have the same need for regular battery changes as the Eletre. It also bumps up the pricing and is designed to also look more professional when dealers give it as part of handover of a car.

Hope that helps

Thanks

Hi, yes as soon as stock is in I will put them up on the website and send you all the link (before it goes anywhere else, so you all have first pick!).

Don't want to take orders and payments in advance as I would rather you be able to see photos of the final products before placing your orders.

Hi Bancho,

Thank you so much for doing this! It's a huge help to the community.

Any plan to do the tan leather as on the Eletre key? So more of a natural tone? That one looked great.

Thanks again!

Thanks,

Not in the current batch, but can look at it for the next batch 👍🏽

Interestingly I had a yellow Emira for a week, a few months back (was definitely a fantastic experience driving that!) And now that I think about it, that had the tan interior.. so probably worth me looking at for next batch.

The Tan didn't sell too well for the Eletre, but I assume that's partly due to there being no tan interior options.

Thanks

 

[Porter]

The Tan didn't sell too well for the Eletre, but I assume that's partly due to there being no tan interior options.

I bet that's 100% true. Most will be aiming to match the leather.

I might do just a single cover (black/red) for now and then get a tan one in the second batch if you do plan to have one.

 

[Sailman]

Yep, would be interested too (alcantara with yellow stitch)

I would be interested in the green fob cover in leather

I have to tell you… for something that is ultimately a hobby offering the presentation is 10 out of 10!

Fair comment and to be honest it was one of my hesitations with investing in these for the Emira.. there's already options out there for people, if anything there are more options for the Emira compared to Eletre and thats probably mainly due to the Emira initially launching in some countries back in 2021.

Not here to blow my own trumpet, but have attached an example of one feedback which hopefully explains why the Eletre ones have been so popular:

Of course everyone has the option to buy from wherever they prefer 👍🏽

I've had enough things from Ali Express that were trash before I even opened them. I'd rather do this stuff for the Emira the right way with quality parts.

As usual in life, you "get what you pay for". Having said that, it's always nice to have choices that hopefully satisfy everyone's taste and spending preferences.

I'll likely want a black alcantara with red stitch Bancho but will wait to see your photos. I'm assuming the red color will be made to match the red stitch color inside the Emira.

I'm also assuming the case is ++ sensitive and will allow flawless use of the OEM buttons underneath.

You can see the alcantara with red stitching in the initial photo robrmon posted of the samples. Believe they are a good match based on photos I have seen of the interior options, but will let you be your own judge of that.

Apologies; not sure what you mean by "++ sensitive", but I do no envisage the case causing any issues with the buttons of the key.. wouldn't sell them if they did.

If in any doubt, i would always say better for you to wait and hear feedback from others before deciding on placing your order. Hope that helps.

@Bancho Same thoughts and thanks for doin this. Probably a black leather with either blue or yellow stitch for now for me. And since my car will Seneca over tan leather, would be very interested in seeing how a Seneca Blue leather would look and also tan leather if this happens in the future.
