Here’s the deal. Apple AirTags are great. But placing them securely in places where potential thieves can’t see them can often be a problem. This matters to me because I am starting to hear stories of people’s bags being snatched in public places by thieves, and said thieves looking for and disposing of said AirTags should they see one so they don’t get hunted down by the owner of the item or the police. So to stop that from happening to me should the worst happen, I acquired these AirTag Fabric Holders from Amazon. Here’s what they look like:
The AirTag inserted into a high-quality silicone shell that you can somewhat easily remove the AirTag from if you need to do something like replace the battery. It has 3M tape on the back that ensures that it will stay in place no matter what. In fact, when I applied them I found that getting them off would cause a lot of damage to the item that they were attached to. So choose the location that you stick these to wisely. Which is to do is place it where a thief won’t see it. In testing it, I found that all the precision tracking functionality worked fine which I expected, and the ability to play sounds to find the AirTag also worked fine. I didn’t expect that part because I was expecting the sound to be somewhat muffled. But that wasn’t the case. I also noted that the AirTag wasn’t going to accidentally slip out.
Now with each AirTag holder, you also get a secondary piece of fabric with 3M tape on the back that allows you to adhere the AirTag holder more securely. I didn’t end up using that because my use cases didn’t call for it. But it’s nice that this is included if your use case calls for it.
You get two in a pack for $16.99 CDN, or four in a pack for $25.99. I placed them in a couple of items in places were a thief is unlikely to look for them. And I am hoping that if the worst happens, I will have a chance to do a Liam Neeson and find them. With the assistance of the police of course.
