Bluetooth trackers may not be anything new, but Apple’s new AirTags have one thing that rival products like Tile and Chipolo don’t: style. Like the ever-popular AirPods, The AirTags look great as an accessory. That is why Apple has released a small suite of AirTag cases, loops, and keyrings to help accentuate this Bluetooth keyring to match your vibe. And the selection of third-party options is growing too. Read on below to explore all of the most stylish options for making your new Apple AirTags uniquely yours.
If you want a protective cover that will last as long as the AirTag itself, then the Caseology Vault case should be your top choice. This phone case company has a track record of balancing protection and portability, as indicated by the appearance in my roundup for the best iPhone SE 3 cases. The snap-on design is snug and secure and the case comes with a sturdy carabiner that is great if you plan to switch your AirTag around between items.
If you like the look but not the price of Apple’s official AirTag keyring, the DamonLight PU Leather AirTag Case is a serviceable replacement. The company saves on costs by using PU leather instead of actual cowhide. This makes it less durable but also less expensive, which is appealing considering the whole point of the AirTag is to save money by losing fewer nice things. The DamonLight case comes in four different colors but my personal favorite is Orange.
Outside of the daringly overpriced Apple AirTag Hermès collection, this official Leather Loop case is the most expensive accessory you’ll find for the AirTag tracker. It actually costs more than the tracker itself. But in its defense, this loop case is made with tanned European leather. It also has excellent stitching, which makes this feel like the premium accessory it is. Whether this leather case is worth the extra expense versus a third-party case is totally up to you, though.
For what it’s worth, though, official Apple products almost always make it onto my Apple accessory roundups, including the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
This Moment Hard Shell Mount is a different take on an Airtag case. It pairs a rugged aramid fiber sleeve with an adhesive back so that you can secure an Airtag onto almost any flat surface large enough to hold it. It is water-tight and foam-lined too so it can withstand plenty of abuse without risk of damaging its contents. This is a great option for tracking the location of any item that doesn’t have a lanyard loop to which you can attach the stock Airtag.
Though Apple’s basic polyurethane AirTag Loop is a little overpriced for a simple accessory, it is still a viable option for securing your AirTag to a piece of luggage or a precious everyday carry item. The loop style helps it fit around unusually shaped objects while still keeping it secure. It comes in four different colors but my personal favorite is Sunflower (pictured).
If you’ve seen Spigen’s phone cases (like their case for the iPhone SE 2020) then it should come as no surprise that their AirTag Rugged Armor Case is one of the sturdiest accessories we’ve come across for Apple’s new product. It has a sturdy raised bumper frame, a solid woven strap, and a downright thick carabiner that puts Apple’s proprietary products to shame. If it came in a few colors other than black, I would consider it the definitive AirTag case option.
Similar to Apple’s Leather AirTag loop, this AirTag Leather Key Ring is actually pricier than the item it is meant to protect, which makes it quite the statement piece in my book. That said, it is made from tanned European leather and has excellent stitching. The included flat keyring is great for connecting to a key fob or the inside of a prized jacket. But consider what exactly this AirTag is going on before you double your investment costs by purchasing this cover. If you are going to stuff it at the bottom of a backpack anyway then you might not want to pay quite this much for an AirTag case.
Belkin’s Secure Holder Strap is a solid option for fastening down an AirTag without adding too much weight to the total package. Its twist-and-lock cover provides protection without impacting portability and the fabric lanyard is a flexible (pun intended) alternative to a metal ring or silicone loop.
This innovative AirTag Glasses Strap from Nomad unlocks a clever new use for this Bluetooth tracker: not losing your expensive sunglasses. Simply snap your AirTag into the plastic housing and attach the caps to your glasses’ temple tips and you’ll be able to bring your name-brand glasses to the beach without worry.
The Cyrill AirTag Case is a simple PU leather case that protects your AirTag while highlighting the clean design of Apple’s Bluetooth tracker. It is fairly similar to the DamonLight case we reviewed above but it is available in a few different colors which may help it fit better with some accessories. It has a secure snap button closure and comes with a sturdy metal keyring.
If you are equipping several everyday carry items with an AirTag, then you can save some big bucks by snagging a value three-pack of MoKo AirTag Silicone Keyrings. These simple silicone covers are designed after Apple’s own official cases and offer an equally secure fit. Each case comes with a keyring to easily attach to other items and the three-packs come in two different color combos.
Disney enthusiasts will absolutely love this Mickey Mouse-inspired Counlisha AirTag Case. It is made from silicone and comes in a pack of three different colors (one of which glows in the dark). You can also get these cases individually if you only want one, but it’s only marginally more expensive to deck out the whole family’s AirTags.
The Benazcap AirTag Loop is an extra-colorful recreation of Apple’s silicone loop case, which helps this Bluetooth tracker stand out from its surroundings. This case comes in plain black and blue designs as well but I find the multicolor option to be the most appealing, especially when every other brand already offers solid color options.
