In this part of the video, the presenter is on a mission to find the best cases for AirTags and outlines their top 10 selections. Key considerations for choosing a case include whether the AirTag is for tracking lost or stolen items, with an emphasis on disguising the AirTag in the latter scenario to prevent thieves from disposing of it. The presenter has not selected the Apple original keyring or loop due to better and more affordable alternatives available, and a personal dislike for the design.
The first case discussed is the Belkin holder, which consists of two halves that lock the AirTag in place with a neat, minimal design. It can be attached with a strap or a key ring, though the presenter prefers the strap due to the key ring’s design increasing bulk. This Belkin case costs eight pounds in the UK and thirteen dollars in the US, making it the most affordable option on the list.
Next, the Native Union Curve case is highlighted. This single-piece silicon design costs ten pounds or around twelve dollars. It is simple and minimal, designed to be attached to a bag with the AirTag fitting snugly inside.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the optimal positioning for the Apple AirTag to maximize its sound output, explaining that having the white plastic surface facing outwards enhances the volume compared to having the Apple logo side out. However, this positioning poses a risk of the AirTag slipping out during certain situations like baggage handling.
The segment then shifts to a review of AirTag cases from the brand OrbitKey, provided for free to the presenter, whereas other products in the lineup were purchased. The OrbitKey Slim Case, priced at £13.50 in the UK or $15 in the US, features a key ring that locks in place securely and aligns with the case to reduce bulk. The AirTag is recessed in the case to prevent scratches, and the design neatly displays the Apple logo while hiding other writings for a cleaner aesthetic.
The presenter then reviews the leather keychain from Nomad, priced at £35. This case is noted for its high-quality Chicago-sourced leather, lightweight design, and practical features like a flat black keyring. The AirTag fits securely inside by opening the side and dropping it in, making it an elegant accessory for keys.

In this segment, the presenter features various key fobs and key chains designed to conceal AirTags. The first item discussed is a leather key fob with a magnetic closure system that discreetly houses an AirTag, making it appear as a simple key fob and muffling the AirTag’s sound. The next item is the TagVault key chain from Elevation Lab, which completely hides the AirTag and resembles cast iron but is lightweight. It includes a mini torx driver for assembly and is waterproof, reducing the AirTag’s sound by about a third. It is priced at $12.95 in the US and can be shipped internationally. Lastly, the presenter showcases another product from Orbitkey, made from ethically sourced leather, featuring a unique mechanism to release and secure keys. This item is priced similarly to other high-end options at around 35 pounds.

In this part of the video, the reviewer discusses various AirTag holders, starting with a complex design that integrates the key ring with the holder for some concealment. Next, they review the ‘Grip’ by dbrand, which offers impressive packaging, a key ring and lanyard strap, cleaning cloth, and customizable adhesive skins. The reviewer appreciates the skin options, choosing a black camo design, but notes the case’s rubberized, grippy material can be cumbersome. Finally, they look at the ‘Vault’ by Caseology, an affordable option featuring a rubberized holder and a carabiner clip, geared for both bags and keys.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses different accessories designed to hold Apple AirTags. They first highlight a keyring accessory intended for attaching an AirTag to a bag or keys. The speaker appreciates the design but notes that it may add excessive bulk, especially when attached to keys. Despite this, they commend its quality for the price.
Next, the video shifts to reviewing the Spigen Airfit, an accessory meant to enable an AirTag to fit within a wallet. The speaker is critical of its cost in the UK compared to the US and points out that Apple’s design is not wallet-friendly. They demonstrate how the Airfit works by placing an AirTag inside it, noting that it resembles a credit card but is still too thick for practical wallet use. Additionally, they express skepticism about the necessity of making the AirTag so visibly attachable to luggage with a carabiner clip.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses the thickness and overall size of various items compared to a stack of nine cards, emphasizing how these items fit into a wallet. They note that while the thickness isn’t reduced significantly, alternative solutions might be needed, such as Apple creating a credit card-sized design.
The presenter then reviews inexpensive AirTag accessories from Amazon. One is designed for a dog collar but can also attach to straps, making it inconspicuous and versatile for various uses like attaching to bags. The other option is a silicon-molded case with an adhesive backing for sticking the AirTag to flat surfaces, useful for items like remote controls or skis, the latter being useful to deter theft. Both options are noted for their practicality and affordability.

In this part of the video, the speaker reviews different AirTag cases based on their design, functionality, and price point for various uses. For attaching an AirTag to a bag, they recommend the Belkin case for its design, build quality, and affordability. For securing keys to an AirTag, the speaker favors the Orbitkey Slim Case for its design and the way it locks keys in place. Their overall favorite, if price is not a concern, is the Nomad Leather Case due to its high quality and ability to completely conceal the AirTag. For the best option in terms of stealth, they recommend the Elevation Lab Tag Vault for its affordability, waterproofing, and concealment capability. The speaker concludes by inviting viewers to check a link for how they usually carry their keys and thanks the audience for watching.
