Apple's AirTag Accessories Include Polyurethane Loop, Leather Loop, and Leather Key Ring

[MacRumors]

Apple's newly unveiled AirTag tracking devices can be placed in a bag or pocket on their own, or they can be attached to a range of new Apple-designed AirTag accessories.

The Polyurethane Loop, which Apple describes as lightweight and durable, is available in White, Deep Navy, Sunflower, and Electric Orange, and costs $29.

The Leather Key Ring features specially tanned European leather, and is available in Saddle Brown, PRODUCT(RED), and Baltic Blue for $35. Meanwhile, the Leather Loop comes in Saddle Brown and PRODUCT(RED) for $39.

The enclosure of each accessory fits securely around AirTag, while conveniently attaching to a user's belongings, offering a more personalized AirTag while making sure it's always with their important items.

Apple and Hermès are also introducing AirTag Hermès, an assortment of handcrafted leather accessories including the Bag Charm, Key Ring, Travel Tag, and Luggage Tag. The Bag Charm and Key Ring come in Fauve Barénia, Bleu Indigo, and Orange leather, while the Luggage Tag and Travel Tag come in Fauve Barénia leather.

Hermès accessories will be sold with a custom-engraved AirTag based on the brand's iconic Clou de Selle signature. Like AirTag devices, all AirTag accessories will be available from the Apple online store beginning Friday, April 30.

How do I attach it to my Apple Watch? Would look dumb with a hanging dongle.

I've read a couple comments saying that if they just included a hole in AirTags, people wouldn't need to buy these extra accessories.

What I don't think they realize is that if they just included a hole in AirTags, people wouldn't need to buy these extra accessories.

I wonder if it’s thin enough to fit in my wallet

The leather key rings look nice.

Man, the guys over at Hermès never cease to impress with their pricing, do they?

 

[coolfactor]

Thanks Goodness for the "Made for AirTag" program! Cuz I ain't paying that much for something that should come WITH the AirTag!

 

[contacos]

This is just asking to get robbed, having it like that on your backpack to be honest.

i will get it for my dog though! Looks nice

They went straight from the environment to announcing tchotchkes made out of leather (plus all the new spring colors of leather cases).

It doesn't matter how many trees you plant.

You can't take those toxins out of the tannery workers' lungs.

There's no safe way to tan leather. No way to do it without making toxins. No way to do it without harming the environment—just from the animal husbandry alone.

You can plant trees, but it's still a different thing. It's like drinking a milkshake and then eating a head of broccoli to make up for it.

A whole lot of other options already on amazon, with delivery immediately available.

Wait, so now the Airtag is effectively $58, since you've got to buy the AirTag and then something to hold it?

AIRTAGS: You may lose your keys, but you will never lose your mind again.

Tim, you can now pay me for this slogan! 😃

Did they clear up the battery situation on these things? Are they (wirelessly) rechargeable?

Good question. I am inclined to think it will be too thick.

"AirTag is designed to keep going more than a year on a standard battery you can easily replace.2And your iPhone lets you know when itʼs time to pop in a new one."

 

[BruiserB]

So the holder costs the same as the tag? Gonna have a look on eBay.

it uses standard batteries that you can just replace yourself

I guess a black keyring was too much to ask for...

 

[John Connor]

Did I read that correctly? The plastic holder costs the same as the actual product it’s protecting?

 

[bluebirdisreal]

I’m not finding anywhere on Apple website how thick or width of these tags are, does anybody know or where it lists this info? Thanks!

The alternative in many cases is using plastic… no two ways about it, just straight-up plastic. Then there's the matter of wasting all the cowhide that's being generated by producing beef, which could have been used in a wide variety of places if it was just turned into leather. I don't think this is a clearly one-sided issue, and thus I don't think it's fair to associate any and all leather with anti-environmentalism.

Just my two cents; I'm more than willing to hear more about the topic that I probably don't know.

Yep.

I shouldn't be surprised, but somehow I still can't believe they're charging more for the key ring than the actual AirTag 😅

I agree about tanning the leather, but the animal husbandry is not really an issue. The demand is driven by increase in beef consumption and there is a global glut of leather because of that. Less leather products won't mean less cows.
