Apple took its time unveiling the AirTag tracker, but the personal object finders are now very much a part of the company's ecosystem.
So, what is an AirTag? Well, It's a simple puck-shaped device that can help you find the things you care about. And with the likes of Tile dominating the GPS tracker space for the last few years, Apple's in-house alternative aims to simplify the process and help you keep tabs on all of your Apple gadgets.
With that said, placing an AirTag bought on its own isn't always that easy.
That's where the below range of accessories comes in, as we've gathered the very best AirTag accessories on offer, from key rings to pet collars, in order to help you track things a little more easily.
Best Apple AirTag accessories
Belkin Secure Holder with Key Ring
A great keyring
Belkin offers one of the most affordable and sensible options for your AirTag.
Belkin Secure Holder with Key Ring for AirTag – Black
For
- Solid pricing
- Good protection
Against
- Not overly stylish
First up, we're turning away from Apple's many in-house accessories to highlight this one from Belkin - an affordable, sturdy way to turn your AirTag into a keyring.
We think this is a better choice for most people than Apple's more expensive alternatives, even if it's a little generic.
Caseology Vault Case
Great for secure storage
A great little case that will beef up your AirTag's safety.
Caseology Vault Compatible with Apple AirTag Case for AirTag Keychain (2021) - Matte Black
For
- Great price
- Excellent protection
Against
- Quite bulky
This canny little case from Caseology lets you do with your AirTage what you will - you can attach it to a keyring, slip it in a bag or anything else you might fancy.
It adds a nice layer of protection for your tracker, though, from bumps and scratches, and opens up a load of potential options for you, all at a nice sensible price.
ICARER Silicone Case
Adaptable option
These cases can slip onto straps and collars easily.
For
- Easy to use
- Can be added to straps
Against
- A bit flimsy
If you've already got a favourite pet collar that you don't want to sacrifice, these clever cases can most likely slip onto it to give you tracking using an AirTag.
They can also, of course, fit nicely onto straps and other bands, making them a great pairing with a bag or other items - they let you have control over all of that. Plus, you get two for a nice low price.
Apple AirTag Loop
A lovely loop
This is a great weatherproof loop that's stylish and versatile.
Apple AirTag Loop - Sunflower
For
- Looks great
- Durable
- Colours to choose from
Against
- A little overpriced
If you want a similar loop design, but don't want the hassle of leather, this is a great option from Apple.
It's made from waterproof polyurethane, and, therefore, is a little more weather-resistant. It's also more affordable, making it great for adventuring.
Belkin Secure Holder with Strap
Another great little option
A great asking price and added functionality make this a winner.
AirTag Case with Strap, Secure Holder Protective Cover for Air Tag with Scratch Resistance Accessory - black
For
- Extra protection
- Simple build quality
- Nice lanyard
Against
- Quite simple
We're back to Belkin, which has another version of its Secure Holder that comes with a strap - a useful little addition to make it easier to attach to a wide range of items.
We really do think these holders are the most sensibly priced choices out there right now.
Apple AirTag Leather Loop
Classy leather option
A leather loop from Apple that oozes elegance.
Apple AirTag Leather Loop - Saddle Brown
For
- Classy leather
- Ages really well
Against
- Pricey
Apple does have a leather loop of its own - so you can really have it however you want.
It's cleanly designed, and classy to look at, making it a great pick.
Cyrill AirTag Strap Case
Budget alternative
An ideal option for those who want the leather charm without breaking the bank.
CYRILL AirTag Case Cover Basic Leather with Key Ring Designed for AirTag Case (2021) - Stone
For
- Great price
- Premium looks
Against
- Not as well made
If you want a keyring that resembles Apple's own offering - including the nice use of leather - but you also don't to pay full price, look no further.
Cyrill's keyring is a really nicely made alternative, and you'll struggle to find many people who can tell the difference, in our opinion.
FollowPaw AirTag Dog Collar
For
- Perfect for pets
- Really durable
Against
- Quite expensive
Apple didn't create the AirTag just for keys, though - there are so many more potential applications, and this gorgeous collar is one of the best we've seen yet.
Made from durable but sustainable cork leather and with a special pouch for an AirTag, this is a perfect way to track your dog without lumbering them with a big tracker. Plus, it's mighty stylish.
Hermes AirTag Key Ring
If you're happy to drop a huge wedge, this is as good as AirTag accessories get.
For
- Astounding quality
- Beautiful materials
Against
- Vastly expensive
- Doesn't look so different from cheaper versions
At the extreme end of the pricing scale, Apple has teamed up with Hermès again to create custom-designed AirTag holders.
There are a few designs but we think the simplest is the strongest - this Barénia keyring is beautiful to look at. Its price is eye-watering, though, so we don't imagine this will work for many people.
