I wouldn't want to use their hack for drilling a hole - not because of the risk or loss of water resistance but because the edge of the hole isn't going to have great structural strength and will likely crack and let the keyring out. You'd also probably want to get some small split rings to use with that hole, then connect one of those to anything else.
- jandrese 5y agoIt was only a 1/8" hole, you can't line it with much and still fit a keyring through. Unfortunately the most obvious use case of attaching it directly to your keychain so you don't lose your keys probably won't work because in your pocket the keyring itself will act like a lever against the hole and tear the case to shreds. You really do need the overpriced accessory for that use case.
- laurent92 5y agoTo attach an AirTag (or my micro Yubikey) to a keyring, you generally just use a string. It’s flexible, strong, very thin and it’s a good link to any keyring. With Yubikey the lanyard is $1. Anyway, I was wondering whether another fun idea would have been to drill the hole in the absolute center of the Airtag, and create a new market for batteries with a hole in the middle.
