Keyfob buttons falling out

My 2008 R56 Mini Cooper's key fob buttons are falling out. Is there any fix or way to change the casing? I have the 3 button round one with the emblem.
It still works; I just wrapped it in tape. looks awful.

I'm the guy who works on the first generation "clamshell" type keys. I'm considering expanding my side business (the MINI Key Hospital) to take in patients from other years. If you are interested in having me work on your key let me know via PM and I will get a stock of shells, rings and batteries for the "hockey puck" style of keys.

Here's a thread with examples of what I do and some customer feedback:

Bruce did both of the Keys for my 04 and they are better than new. He even had to replace the microswitches - more patience than I had (or better eyes).
