Best AirTag Cases & Holders: Brilliant Accessories

There are cheaper options, however that is one of the best AirTag key ring we’ve seen. It’s mild, enticing and reassuringly well-made. It’s simple to place the AirTag inside, however the metallic popper received’t let it escape. And we love the big, chunky (however fairly flat) ring, though we’d advocate testing it out in a store when you’re planning on attaching automotive keys with a small aperture. This reviewer’s Nissan and Skoda keys had been each a good match.

The leather-based protecting protects the AirTag’s edge from drop injury however leaves most of its chassis, each back and front, open to the weather and liable to scuff just a little. We predict that is price it for the pleasing look, and scuffing is each inevitable and minor, however if you need complete safety you’ll have to look elsewhere.–David Value

Orbitkey‘s leather-based providing is properly price your consideration. It prices roughly the identical as Apple’s Leather-based Key Ring but it surely has a nice-looking design and a few benefits up its sleeve.

One is the slenderness of the ring itself. Whereas Apple’s broad, flat ring might be awkward for attaching automotive keys with a slim aperture, this can match into holes of the smallest dimensions. The second benefit lies within the progressive means keys are hooked up: an initially baffling locking system that, as soon as mastered, is way faster and simpler (and much much less painful) than prising aside the standard two-layer ring together with your fingernails.

The one actual quibble is that the leather-based fob is rather a lot larger than the AirTag itself. It has extra space than it wants and wobbles round barely contained in the pocket. The important thing ring thus takes up extra room in your pocket than it must. This does additionally give the AirTag way more safety than Apple’s model. It’s much less more likely to get scuffed than with the opposite key rings we tried out.

If the worth tag places you off, Orbitkey additionally makes a less expensive Slim Case with an analogous locking system.–David Value

If the leather-based key rings above are too costly in your funds, think about Belkin’s cheerful, affordable alternative. The Safe Holder is made from plastic, which supplies it extra of a funds really feel, but it surely’s reassuringly strong.

The AirTag is secured contained in the holder by way of a intelligent twist-and-lock mechanism. It’s obtainable in white, black, pink and blue.–David Value

Olixar’s easy providing prices lower than the Belkin key ring, and fewer than a 3rd of the Apple possibility, for a pair. Very useful if you wish to equip a few younger youngsters with AirTags and regulate their actions.

Wrestling the AirTag into the silicone cowl is mildly difficult–there’s no clasp of any sort, you simply stretch the sides and jam it in there–but it surely’s safe as soon as inside and admirably protecting. In actual fact you would say it gives twice the safety of Apple’s key ring because it covers the again utterly: solely the entrance face is uncovered.

The karabiner-style opening on the ring makes it simpler to make use of and extra enjoyable than a standard ring (though barely much less safe, because it doesn’t have the lock function of a full mountaineering karabiner). However that is basically a primary possibility; when you’re ready to spend just a little extra, think about Olixar’s ‘leather style’ version as a substitute, and even its top-of-the-line genuine leather case.–David Value

Elevation Lab’s TagVault: Keychain gives a keyring nub, resistance to scratching or mars, or waterproof or water resistant choices. This rugged case has a gasket that forestalls water intrusion whereas passing by way of ultrawideband and Bluetooth alerts and permitting about two-thirds of the AirTag’s sound quantity.

Apple’s Leather-based Loop is out there in Saddle Brown, Baltic Blue, Forest Inexperienced, California Poppy, or (Product) Crimson. It’s solely a bit dearer than the AirTag Loop–from a excessive start line, admittedly–and appears and feels considerably nicer than the polyurethane model.

Olixar’s silicone AirTag strap has a really comparable design to Apple’s Loop, however as you’d anticipate (given how less expensive it’s) the supplies and high quality of manufacture are barely much less luxurious.

The AirTag is just a little liable to choosing up scuff marks, and lots of the holders on this roundup go away no less than considered one of its surfaces uncovered and susceptible to break.

Regardless of the unobtrusive look of the pocket the AirTag continues to be pretty apparent and simply slipped out, so this resolution isn’t ultimate for monitoring down stolen property (except there’s a extra discreet inside floor you possibly can stick it to). However for finding TV remotes–and for sheer versatility of utility–they’re indispensable.–David Value
