The AirTag is a very practical device, but you have to be able to attach it securely to your bag or wallet. You pay more for the AirTag case from Apple than for the tracker itself. Fortunately, there are also alternatives. We list 5 cheaper AirTag covers.
AirTag cases: 5 cheaper alternatives
Since there is no hole in the tracker itself, many people will need an AirTag case to use it. After all, most people attach the AirTag to their most important items, such as a key ring, bag or wallet.
Apple sells its own AirTag covers, but these are quite expensive. You still pay for a leather AirTag key ring more than beforer the AirTag itself. Fortunately, other web shops have also started working on this and there are plenty of cheaper alternatives to be found. We list the 5 best for you.
1. SHEIN silicone AirTag case
About the cheapest AirTag holder you can find is that of the webshop SHEIN. They are available in all kinds of different colors.
So you have dark red, bright green, orange and light blue. Don’t like that? Then they can also be ordered in black and gray. This is useful, for example, if you have multiple AirTags for different items.
It is a silicone case and you can order this for only 1.50 euros.
2. Amazon leatherette AirTag case
Want an AirTag case that looks a lot like Apple’s leather Key Ring, but don’t want to pay the top price for it?
At Amazon you can find all kinds of cases that look a lot like Apple’s leather AirTag case, but at a much lower price. This also applies to these artificial leather AirTag covers, which are available in several fun colors.
You order the AirTag covers in pairs 5.18 euros.
3. Case2go silicone transparent holder
The transparent silicone holder from Case2go is made of sturdy plastic. Due to the slightly raised edge around the metal part of the AirTag, it scratches less quickly than with most cases. The smooth silicone material also makes it easy to keep it clean.
The case is available for 9.95 euros.
4. SWOOP’s silicone protective cover
Where the Case2go holder is made of harder, firmer silicone material, the SWOOP protective cover is a bit softer and smoother.
The protective cover is made of environmentally friendly silicone. The case is also easy to wash, so you can easily keep it clean.
The SWOOP’s protective cover is available through Bol.com for 14.95 euros.
5. FSS silicone protect case
