ElevationLab Launches 'TagVault' AirTag Holder

[deeddawg]

In addition to waterproofing the AirTag, the TagVault will protect from scratches that the AirTag might collect when attached to a set of keys or another item where wear and tear will be experienced.

Schrödinger's AirTag...

you don't know if it is or isn't scratched until you open the case....

 

[siddavis]

Are people really worried about it's appearance with scratches?

People are that anal?

Do people have a cover for their car fobs also?

Can't scratch the precious!!

 

[btrach144]

The whole point of airtags is so that others will see it and scan it to help return it to its original owner.

"Doesn't add much bulk?"

I'm confident someone can do this test via displacement, but at first glance it doubles the volume of the air tag.

"I didn't gain much weight! I'm only 160 lbs. heavier than before"

Now that’s a case!

I don’t think it’s a racket. $35 for a plastic iphone case is a racket. $6 for a key ring seems fine.

It’s business, everything is a racket. Those things for smacking tennis balls? Even MORE so.

 

[Tofupunch]

Awesome! But say goodbye to being able to hear the speaker lol.

Could be used to track stolen goods. The Thief won't hear the beep

 

[Stromos]

Not going to lie first case I've seen that looks great. Might get a 3 pack.

 

[Beerstalker]

I agree. You will be out of luck if you ever lose the speak screw driver needed to take the holder apart. They must have consulted with Apple about specialized screws. lol

Looks like a regular Torx bit to me, not even a security one. Should be readily available at pretty much any hardware store or even Walmart, Target, etc.

 

[Eduardo1971]

This look nice!

Now make it in pink.

I was thinking Torx but couldn't tell for sure in the pic. I do have a Torq 6 around here somewhere. If I had my Airbags, maybe I could find it.

Any chance those are pentalobe screws? I have a tiny screw driver kit from long ago when Apple used those for some essential purpose. I doubt it would matter, but it certainly makes pulling the battery and disabling the tag much harder if that is some obscure screw.

 

[ClevelandGuy]

Now I just need one in the shape and size of a golf ball....

I like the way you’re thinking, i’m always loosing the golf balls in the rough although for the cost of the Air Tags i can buy more than a few golf balls.

Picture shows a common Torx socket, why would any but the most inept be "out of luck"?

 

[deeddawg]

Images show six points, so unless they change when in production, no.

... and a sharp hammer blow will disable the airtag much faster than bothering with taking it apart.

 

[nutmac]

Only in black. How would you tell them apart?

 

[farewelwilliams]

You and I apparently have far different definitions of “nightmare”…

you’re assuming you’re only going to be doing 1 per year. i’m not.

 

[farewelwilliams]

Removing 4 screws is a "nightmare" ? 😂

times 12 airtags per year.

 

[alexandr]

They are using the same technique used by purveyors of hot dogs and hot dog buns. Buy 12 of everything - least common multiple for the win!

)) that's exactly right — sneaky bastards!

 

[cmaier]

Only in black. How would you tell them apart?

So your concern is, you see one of these black keychains connected to your keys, and you‘re not sure if it’s the airtag you’ve named “keys” or the airtag you’ve named “umbrella?”

 

[alexandr]

How do I get 4 air tags in their one package?

are you're trying to get the best odds for tracking your devices? )

if it quacks like a duck...

 

[TheWatchfulOne]

that looks like a nightmare to take apart just to replace the batteries.

Good thing you only have to change the batteries once a year. Unless you permanently loose the item it's attached to, in which case you won't have to change the batteries at all. 🤔

 

[usagora]

times 12 airtags per year.

Still not a nightmare. I change the oil and rotate my tires on my vehicle every 3,000 miles (which for me is a little over 4 times per year), which would take far longer than replacing 12 AirTag batteries with these holders once a year, and I don't consider that a nightmare either. It's just routine maintenance.

I also doubt most people are going to be using THAT many AirTags, but maybe I'm wrong.

 

[TheWatchfulOne]

but there are 4 airtags!!!

Buy an AirTags four pack. Give one of the tags away to a friend. Now there are only three tags. Problem solved! 😉
