Some (many?) of us prefer these without the hole. I'd rather accessorize anything like this and avoided Tile for years because it wouldn't look sufficiently stylish on my keychain.
Got a tip for us?

I wonder if Apple gets a kickback from each accessory sold for not adding a hole
A few things to consider: modeling, animating, and rendering take a bit of time, many animations are relevant to multiple articles, animations aren't seen by everybody the first time around, memes in general are often reposted repeatedly by folks who didn't make them, and there have been many AirTag articles published since I first made this, but I only repost when it seems especially pertinent.
Obviously you're free draw lines about what is and isn't done where you wish, plus humor is subjective. But this seems pretty innocuous in comparison to what some people post online.

I do hate the overuse of memes though.
I’m glad this doesn’t have a hole. This thing is barely bigger than the battery. If it were to have a hole, it’d have to be bigger or the hole would be jutting out the side.
Part of the value here for me is being able to stuff the tag into small spaces, like the already crammed saddle bag on my bike or side pocket of a brief case. If you need to attach it to something, get a $10 keyring, nbd. And I’m sure there will be even cheaper knockoffs soon.
Sufficiently stylish on your keychain? Imagine being the guy that would rather spend an additional $29 because the tracker on his keychain wasn’t stylish enough. The mind literally boggles.
(PS I hate Tile as a company, I only use them on my keys as they were the only practical option at the time. Even though it wasn’t suitably stylish).
Man, I can't tell you how many axes I've misplaced over the years! FINALLY, no more Charlie Brown walks to the Ace Hardware store... 🙌
I ordered two Belkin holders along with my 4-pack of AirTags on release day.
I was a bit skeptical of the Belkin holder as there was little information about them, and not knowing how long they'd last.
Turns out I'm really pleased with them. It's a clever and robust design. No worries at all about them standing up to rough use. Decent price, too.

Agree. No idea why Apple keeps insisting on using leather when they tout themselves as an environmentally conscious company.
I ordered a bunch of different ones. Here's my rundown.
ALL the third party silicone ones are absolute garbage. The tags are not secure and because it's silicone - they flex. One tiny movement and the force of the material pushes out the Airtag. I bought a 3 pack of them and the clips are great but the holders enabled my house key tag to fly across my driveway.
They're cheaper but they're useless. The seller on Amazon offers them for free if you leave a +ve review. I didn't. They're all crap - and digging into the amazon reviews I'm not the only one who thinks so!
Apple leather keychain is a solid and expensive option but that tag isn't being popped out by accident. You have to apply a tonne of pressure to do that. Same for their luggage tags. It's not the same material as the watch straps. It's firmer - and the tag is firmly encases. Plus the press studs on the apple ones are way better than the third party ones.
I wish I'd ordered more Belkin ones. They lock the tag in and it's not going anywhere. My advice right now - if budget is an issue is to stick with the balking ones.
I've got the Cyril and another similar design driving the next few days. If the material is more rigid and covers enough of the Airtag to actually hold it in place this will be a nice price point.
Seems like Apple have cornered the quality on the accessories for now.
Yes - 35 for a 29 dollar tag - BUT they're all damn pointless if they dont actually hold the tag.

It's an American thing.....
They do a good job here deleting memes like "Safari is snappier"
American humorist...meh, I prefer UK humour, much better.
