Nomad's Latest Accessory Makes It Easier to Put an AirTag in Your Wallet

[MacRumors]

Nomad, known for its range of accessories designed for Apple devices, today announced the Card for AirTag, which is designed to make it easier for an AirTag to fit inside a wallet for tracking purposes.

With Card for AirTag, an AirTag fits inside the middle of a card-shaped holder that's then meant to fit inside of a wallet. According to Nomad, the design offers a smooth, uniform shape that allows the AirTag to be kept in the wallet without having a circular bump.

The Card for AirTag is made from a polycarbonate material with a soft-touch TPU surface, and the AirTag is designed to snap into the middle.

It's worth noting that the AirTag is quite thick on its own and not really designed for use within wallets, so this Card for AirTag is still going to take up a lot of space. Thin wallets may not accommodate the thickness of the AirTag and the accompanying Card accessory.

The Card for AirTag is priced at $20, but there's a $5 discount when bundled with one of Nomad's wallets. Nomad is also today releasing new Bi-Fold and Card wallets priced starting at $69.95. The Card for AirTag and the new wallets can be purchased from the Nomad website.

Kind of says it all.

people are using these things to stalk women by slipping them in a purse or hidden in a car then following them home. Not cool Sometimes Technology is not a blessing.

Oh wow! It looks very convenient.

Does anyone have a direct link where the wallet can be purchased, please?

2nd gen Airtags are likely going to have the battery and electronics side-by-side so it's in a thinner package..

This has been discussed ad nauseum and apple has built in protections that surpass what is currently available.

PS, for practical use i've found them very handy so far

I can’t believe that Apple released a Wallet and a tracking product within 9 months of each other and didn’t see fit to combine the two.

Some wallets have coin pockets. Put it in there.

Don’t think it will fit. It’s too bulky

Well that’s the point, obviously. Nobody needs to carry cards or cash anymore, and with this in your wallet you won’t have room for any cards or cash. It’s perfect.

I use a wallet. In the U.S., many states require one to carry a drivers license or state ID, along with insurance card. On top of that, you have medical insurance, credit cards, money etc.

 

[mazz0]

That key ring though, that looks lovely! Can’t find it on their site though?

 

[testcard]

What, and spoil the lines of my carefully pressed chinos? No thanks ?

 

[JPack]

Not sure how this helps. It makes it even bulkier.

I’m the same exact way. I’m very old school.

Got a source for that you'd care to share?

Technology gives people power. The greater the power, the greater good or evil can be done with it. Science and technology has been used to both save lives and end them, it has helped people and hurt them.

Tech is rarely the cause of harm, it merely empowers people to do what they already desired to do.

That's exactly what I did and I just checked...after a month there isn't a scratch on it. I wear my wallet in my front pocket due to back issues and I don't have a bit of a problem with the thickness.

 

[macbeth1026]

I 3D printed one of these for I think less than a dollar. Works like a charm!

More importantly who are those who lose it so often they need a damn tracker on it.

Many. Even Apple sells a wallet.

There was a guy on YouTube, that split an AirTag in two and put that in a credit card like enclosure -
effectively making it half as thick.
I would buy that (requires soldering unfortunately)
