You Won't Lose Your Apple TV Remote With Elago's New AirTag Remote Case

Wobble? whose putting their Apple TV remote on a table to use it that a wobble would even matter. Complaining for the sake of it.
So...let me get this straight, a $60 remote, plus a $30 AirTag, plus a $15 case = $ 105! WTH. You should be already able to use Find My to find the damn remote anyway. Greedy company.
First world problems are what this site and its coverage of expensive Apple products is all about.
I bought one. Got it yesterday. Damn, even without the airtag socket its a nice 'case' makes the remote so much easier to hold onto.
I either use my phone to control the AppleTV, or, typically have a bright red USB cord running from the couch to the remote... kinda reminds me of the wired remote I used to have for a JVC VCR back around 1985, but always easy to find.
But...do you "loose" it?well, I don't lose my remote to begin with
but since I have read so many complaints here about folks actually "losing" their remote, I guess this is an option for them
I like the bare aluminium finish, but I do find the remote slippery. I’m very conscious of dropping it, so I may get a case.
Yet another example of a product in search of a problem that doesn’t exist.
Mine sits on the end table next to me. Just reach over when all I want to do is pause/play, adjust volume, or jump forward or backward. Use it that way a lot. I won't be getting any case, or an AirTag, for that matter. Just sayin'.
This is awesome. I hate how slim/slippery/small/easy to lose the Apple Remote is. I lose it in my bedroom all the time, this is going to make life a lot easier plus I'm guessing it'll be more comfortable to hold with the added depth.
It solves my problem so I completely disagree with you.
Only when I take the battery out … wait, I need to plus a cable into my remote … it’s the airtag that has a battery to take outBut...do you "loose" it?
Man that's a really good idea! You can 3d print these for about .75 so might have to work up some design!
Honestly, I would've said "heck yea", especially after we had our kids. A first world problem might not be important in the great order of things, but it's something that we might want to be solved as a small life improvement since we can do it.
Another accessory that will never decay in our landfills all because people can’t keep track of their remotes 🤣
As an added bonus, you can also bludgeon a man to death with it now.
In all fairness, I do think that remotes actually walk at night; the same way I am sure that cables move during the night because they like to be tangled.
I saw this on Amazon a couple days ago and ordered right away. Should be getting here soon. Looking forward to the extra thickness to keep it from sliding down in the couch and being able to locate it using AirTag and HomePod Mini to make it beep. Pretty lame that Apple couldn’t just build this in.
Some things a guy just doesn't lose, and the remote is one of those things. No need for a fancy case.
