Use a prying tool to pry open the key fob casing.
Tools other than a screwdriver can be used, but for safety purposes it is important to use a tool that is small enough to open the seam but not sharp enough to hurt yourself.
While it does take a somewhat large amount of force to open the case, it should not take more than you should be able to provide with just a tool. Too much force may damage the components, so be sure to be careful when prying.

Remove the electronics from the damaged casing.
Be sure to handle the electronics with care, as damaged electronics might lead to a key more damaged than before.
The battery may be loose or even fall out. This is ok; simply put the battery back in the slot that it might've fallen out of.

Carefully close the new casing and ensure that there is not too much force required to close the case. The two sides should lock with a clicking sound. Make sure to check that the case does not open easily to ensure a successful repair.
If the two sides do not properly connect, the key may not be successfully reassembled. Make sure that the key does not reopen and it's reconstructed properly.
