Apple AirTag Leather Key Ring – Meyer Lemon

This leather holder is a little more bulky than a silicon one I bought at the same time. However the airtag has stayed securely in this leather holder for over a year. (A silicon one did not do as well and the airtag fell out.
(Although I can track the lost Airtag, I lost it on vacation so it is not retrievable. )

Going to buy this one again.

This little thing is stuck in my key ring as I always forget where have I put my car keys several times. Just pressed a button from your phone and it finds my key. Amazing piece.

You can’t go wrong with an original Apple product.

Like all Apple products these days, this AirTag Keychain has a high quality feel; however, there are some negatives to it.

Pros:

1.) High quality feel, custom fit.

2.) Slimline design reduces unnecessary bulk and frustration on EDC keys.

3.) Color can be *closely* matched to your cell phone case, providing you buy an Apple case.

4.) Keyring is easy enough to open; not a thumbnail breaker like a lot of key rings.

Cons:

1.) Does not protect AirTag the way Apple claims. Due to the size of the shiny “Apple” side, it sits flush with the leather, meaning it sits on whatever surface your keys do, thereby eliminating the “protective” value. I’ve included a photo of my AirTag, where you can already see surface scratches that developed after putting it in its case and taking photos on my oak desk/beside my fireplace. At NO POINT was the AirTag placed directly on the stone at all.

2.) Color doesn’t match exactly phone case, even though both are “Saddle Brown” and certainly didn’t match the color of the photo on the box.

3.) $35… THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS. That’s quite high for what you get. $20 would be on the high side of what I would call “fairly priced,” but $35 for a keychain that doesn’t protect the product it was DESIGNED FOR? No.

BOTTOM LINE:

It’s nice but overpriced. There’s already several from “off brands” that provide a nearly identical product for around $12, much less than Apple. Honestly in my opinion, while AirTags are pretty and function well, I’m going to be sticking with the leading brand of trackers, Tile. They’ve been around for years, are very rugged and don’t need a case.

There are also some privacy concerns in regards to AirTag, that you should look into. I would suggest doing some extra research into the brands and ask yourself why you want one. In the end, it’s up to you to decide if a product is right for you.

Thanks for reading.

I bought a knockoff air tag holder and regretted it from the start. While it held the air tag securely enough, the keys were another matter. The knockoff’s key ring wasn’t secure and broke within a week. This one is sturdy and holds up over daily use. Yes, it’s expensive, but I’m not worried about losing my keys because they fell off the ring.
