These AirTag accessories can help you keep your life in-track.
A stand-out from the multitude of Apple devices, products, and accessories, the Apple’s AirTag is one of the company’s most useful and wallet-friendly. The dread and panic of losing something doesn’t hit quite the same when there’s an AirTag attached and an assortment of Apple products with Bluetooth radios that can help locate it with the Find My app. Luckily, Apple’s Bluetooth tracker leverages the ever so useful Apple ecosystem to make it easy for iPhone users to track down belongings effectively, often with a simple ping.
While a deceptively simple package on its face, and one of the few Apple products that let you access its battery, the AirTag has one fatal flaw. Unless you’re slipping it into your pocket, you’re going to need an accessory to attach it to whatever you want to track. Given the items most users would like to track can vary from keys, wallets, bags, or even pets, an attachment accessory may be needed for this product to work best for your specific needs. From key rings and carabiners to wallets and collar attachments, we compiled a list of the best accessories to help you keep tabs on and ping your most precious belongings.

Belkin Secure Holder with Wire Cable
A secure, stable accessory
The safest of Belkin’s AirTag’s cases, the Secure Holder with Wire Cable literally screws shut with an Allen wrench. The wire cable can easily attach the AirTag to a bike (or anything you don’t want to easily lose) and is a lot harder to break than leather or silicone.

Hawanik Slim Wallet with Built-in AirTag Holder
Keep track of your money
The Hawanik Slim Wallet has a special slot for the AirTag, and still enough room in its folds for cards and cash. While the tracking tech does sacrifice some of its sleek build, it promises you won’t lose track of your cards, coins, and cash.
What are the best AirTag accessories: The bottom line
The AirTag is a great tracker, made all the more useful by people owning Apple’s products. But it needs a little help if it’s actually going to be useful for most people. For the simple job of keeping your key and bags safe, it’s hard to go wrong with the Belkin Secure Holder with Carabiner. It can act as a key ring or attach to a backpack, and it’s designed so you can hear the AirTag without it getting scratched or damaged during your day-to-day.
Apple makes great accessories for its Bluetooth tracker, too. The Apple AirTag Leather Key Ring could be simply coined, “just a keychain,” but it uses premium soft leather in a variety of colours to wrap around the AirTag, and it has an easy-to-open clasp that makes it easy to remove the tracker if you need to change its battery. It’s expensive, but you’re paying for high-quality simplicity in more ways than one.
Not to say there’s anything wrong with something like the ColorCoral Holder Case. Ultimately, all you need is a way to cover the AirTag in case of scratches and connect it to some method of attaching it to your valuables. The ColorCoral Holder Case does all of that and then some. Regardless of what you’re willing to pay, you’re bound to find one that will work for you.
