Only if you buy it from Apple. I'm sure there will be $5 holders for all kinds of clasps/rings soon enough.
They really limited the number of emojis offered for engraving. It's basically the Chinese zodiac, and not much else. At least they included the poop emoji. 🤦♂️
*Attaches $449 Hermès luggage tag to $150 luggage with $200 worth of clothes*

Yup these will soon be a buck shipped from China, or a couple bucks delivered Prime on Amazon.
i was thinking the same thing in case it drowns))) but just my luck it would be deeper than what the tags supportHow do I attach it to my Apple Watch? Would look dumb with a hanging dongle.
))Did you expect anything less when they said $29? That's the whole gimmick here, if they built it with a hole in the tag like competitors you would not spend more on the holder.
so, lemme get this straight...
the TAG itself is $29 and the HOLDER for the tag starts at ANOTHER $29.
and no hole to attach it to your own key ring.

Hey man, thanks for the snark! I knew I could count on it here.
It represents true inflation of producing goods using local artisans and high quality materials instead of outsourcing to a factory with questionable labor practices in a developing country, using crappy materials that have been processed to pass the eye test for quality, and then using marketing to command obscene margins.
Trying to figure out who the hell is going to attach an AirTag to a piece of luggage (on the outside) rather than slipping it inside the luggage let alone who on earth would spend $449 as an accessory for a $29 product.
I agree that I wish they would expand the emojis to choose from. Namely the objects would be nice. It only makes sense that the tag on my keychain would have the key emoji (🔑) on it, the one in my backpack would have the backpack (🎒), etc. Yet they included two flavors of the numeral emojis, even though just a regular numeral would have been just fine. 🙄
Cheaper tags are all over Amazon right now. Seem to be selling fast.
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.

Too bad that is more expensive than the airTag itself!
And bulky: I want something thin and easy to attach anywhere, almost invisible
