I understand airtagging a dog, but how do you fit one in your wallet? Are you worried about misplacing it in your home, leaving it behind somewhere else, or theft? I like airtags and use them myself, but never considered using it with a wallet.

It's just a wallet with a bubble on the outside shell that holds the air-tag in it ... doesn't stick out too far and fits fine in my pocket

In my case, first I used https://www.amazon.com/TagVault-Standard-Flexible-Pending-Elevation/dp/B09GTVRVLC https://www.amazon.com/TagVault-Standard-Flexible-Pending-El..., and now I use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0975HFFMM/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0975HFFMM/. It has alerted me to the wallet being left behind, and a few times I've used the AirTag to find the wallet in the house. The big downside to AirTags right now is missing family support. We hid AirTags on the kids' bikes, but only my wife can see them.

  You hide tracking devices on your children and you think the big downside is that Apple doesn't support that? There's zero intersection between people who should be tracked and people who are able to ride bikes.

    • In fact, the children suggested AirTags — ebikes are expensive. Their only hidden tracking devices are their "LoJack&Jill"-brand subdermal cellular GPS implants for kids, installed while they were under heavy sedation. • They had phones^H^H^H^H^H tracking devices already, so…

I put an AirTag inside the little pouch/sleeve on the inside of my wallet (behind the cards). It was a little awkward at first to get used to my wallet not sitting as flat anymore but I got over it. Luckily, I’m not a person who stores months worth of receipts and 20 cards in my wallet like my father, so there’s plenty of space. It’s definitely come in handy a few times!

I use Tile's Slim tracker. It has the footprint of two credit cards. Sucks the battery is not replaceable, but it's helped more often than I can count.

See the link elsewhere for Chipolo. It's killer. I've used it so many times now to find my lost wallet that I'd gladly pay twice the cost. I was recently existing an airplane, and realized I didn't have my wallet in my pocket. Folks were packing up behind me, and I was getting pressure from my family to start existing down the aisle. I wasn't sure if the wallet was somewhere in my carryon or on the floor of the plane. I was scrambling checking pockets of various carry on bags, etc. The I remembered I could ping it. Within seconds, I could hear the chirp and very quickly found it. Highly recommend!

You can carry an AirTag or a condom. Choose your own adventure. ;-)
