AirTag Keychain Case
The first waterproof case for Apple AirTags. Compact design, won't bulk up your keychain. Ultra-durable composite construction with stainless steel hardware. Designed for the real world. Other open designs let AirTags get scratched and take abuse from everything else in your pocket (sorry...

This is a good idea as long as it does not impede the performance of the speaker and does not obstruct the Bluetooth signals (depending on its material). It's not metal so no issues should occur - looks like a hard PET plastic or glass reinforced plastic which is extremely strong and sturdy, plus the o-ring and the four screws. It appears the AirTag sits inside the AirVault holder and the speaker inside the AirTag does not move, it's like the old PC speakers just miniaturised.
Although I like Apples AirTag design I expect thieves will now have a new target to go for especially if the AirTag is attached via a loop externally to any bags - a portable target of sorts. All the thieves have to do is detach / remove / destroy the AirTag if externally exposed and keep the goods - presto - not that difficult. AirTags have been designed primarily for those who lose things, and is mainly a locator, not a theft deterrent or theft prevention device. Thieves now know what to look for - literally.
For those requirements the AirTag needs to be nondescript - aka - Non Apple coloured as is stands out like a sore thumb currently. For AirTags to be used in bags it would need to be either sewn into the bag or maybe velcro on objects however its "I have an Apple product" appearance is too attention-seeking for those who use theft as their hobby. This TagVault effectively hides the colour of the AirTag to make it harder to find inside bags and less obvious outside bags which would reduce the instances of theft as well. As for those complaining about the "hard" processes of replacing the battery with the TagVault, take your pick - leave the AirTag exposed for criminals with easy battery access or incognito to reduce theft and advertising but more effort to replace the battery.

Nothing to do with fragility its to do with no "advertising" to prospective thieves and harder to locate inside bags due to its colour and therefore reducing its visibility to attract said criminals.
yea, that link won't open for me. should i be worried?..AirTag Keychain Case

Tests show that they can get scratched easily.
Try changing your search engine to Yahoo.
i'm not even searching though, just clicking on the link... is this some kind of a plot to make people switch over to yahoo?..
all the hard work...
) found it, Thanks. the 4-pack vs. 3-pack is a total ripoff!
Glad you were finally able to get on the site. Basically if you buy the 3 to 4 pack each one is about $10 each vs. $12.95 if you buy just 1.all the hard work...
lmao, of course youre not. because your "nightmare" is 4 screws.
there are people who sleep in tents under bridges.
your perspective on life sucks.
by your logic, looks like we gotta put cases around our shoes, cases around our AirPods, cases around our Apple Watches, cases around our backpacks. because since all of those things cost more and are more important than a $29 device, we should case those up too, right?
no. because that would be a NIGHTMARE. 🤦♂️
JFC, that is such a stupid take. we're done. 👋
Around here, we have to put a coin into the shopping cart so we can detach it.
I often get distracted when grocery shopping in big stores and then have to look for my cart. Other people moving it around while I'm getting something doesn't help and you just can't take it with you everywhere.
I want a way to attach the airbag to that coin that sticks out from the cart a bit. But in a way that's not too flashy and not too easy to remove. Nylon pouch with a welded shut keyring?

Which means it's also going to be a nightmare for someone who possesses your item to disable it by simply taking out the battery.
Four screws is hardly a nightmare for something you do once a year.
And that's why we don't have replaceable RAM or Hard Drives anymore
yea, you're right — i'm not sure why i thought that last night — i guess i figured it was the more you buy — the less they cost, but it's still the same deal.
How is that? They're $10 each whether you buy a three or four pack. 3 for $30 or 4 for $40.
Apple could have just added a round hole at the side of the airtags, so you can use anything you have at home, but no, they had to create an eCoSySteM (has "eco" in it)...
