Like every new Apple gadget, the first-ever AirTag tracker arrived with an excellent selection of original accessories, headlined by a key ring and various loops for attaching it to items. Of course, third-party accessory makers immediately followed suit by launching their own AirTag-compatible products. Today, well over a year after its debut, there are tons of AirTag accessories to choose from.
In addition to making the tracker attachable, the best AirTag accessories can also protect its glossy polycarbonate housing and metal battery cover. That’s why we spent the past couple of weeks finding the best accessories worth buying — from very cheap to decadently luxurious.
Find the perfect accessory for your new Apple gadget among our thoroughly researched picks.
Apple's leather key ring is one of our favorite AirTag accessories. Crafted from fine European leather, it has an impeccable fit, a durable snap-on closure, and a high-quality steel ring with a glossy finish. It will not only make your keys next to impossible to lose but also much nicer to interact with and infinitely more stylish.
You can order the product in many colors, including this eye-catching shade of purple, dubbed Wisteria.
Belkin’s super affordable keychain holder is a cheaper alternative to Apple's key ring, which will also ensure that you never worry about losing your keys. The accessory will protect your AirTag, as well as showcase its Apple logo and your custom engraving. It has a polycarbonate build with a secure twist-and-lock closure, raised edges for enhanced scratch protection, and a 2-year warranty.
The Link & Lock by Raptic is the most rugged Apple AirTag holder. Crafted from ultra durable zinc, the product has a padlock-like design with a three-digit code locking setup. Combined with its indestructible build, the lock ensures the accessory will always stay in place, making it a great option for keeping tags of expensive luggage and other high-value items.
Raptic equipped the Link & Lock with a polycarbonate holder for the AirTag. Once installed, only those who know the code can remove Apple’s object tracker.
This AirTag case by Pelican — a brand whose products are synonymous with ruggedness and dependability — is the one to get if you are looking to attach the tracker to another object like a bag, a suitcase, or a bike, to name a few commonly used things. The silicon accessory has a durable adhesive to keep it in place alongside the tracker.
I like that every Protector series mount has notches to amplify the AirTag sound if you are looking for it. You can order the product in several colors, ranging from understated black and grey to eye-catching yellow and orange options.
Nomad — a maker of great iPhone wallet cases — also has amazing accessories for AirTags Available in black or brown, this leather keychain is our favorite because it discreetly encloses your AirTag and protects it from damage better than any other product on this list.
Since the accessory is made from fine Horween leather, it will develop a beautiful patina as it ages.
The utilitarian Vault AirTag case by Caseology is made from tough and flexible synthetic material with a sandstone texture for enhanced grip.
The easy-to-install accessory comes with a bundled carabiner, so you can easily attach it to a bag, waller, or even a dog collar. You can also skip using the carabiner and simply add the Vault to your keys.
The colorful Apple AirTag loop is a great option for fastening your new tracker to a bag, backpack, or suitcase, among countless other things. It's available in black, white, orange, or yellow.
The polyurethane product is lightweight, tough, and equipped with a snap-on closure. Apple also offers a fancier AirTag loop made of leather with a similar design and setup.
The handcrafted Pad & Quill Mighty AirTag keychain has a cool design and amazing tactility. Made using full-grain leather and parachute-grade stitching, the AirTag accessory will enclose the tracker almost completely to protect it from damage.
Available in a trio of finishes (black, chestnut, and whiskey), the Mighty keychain comes with a steel key ring and a 25-year warranty.
This easy-to-install film protector by Caseology will keep pesky scratches and smudges away from the battery cover of your AirTag. The accessory is compatible with other AirTag accessories, so you can easily add it to an AirTag installed in a case or a wallet.
The case is available with a matte clear or a brushed black finish. The latter has a metal-like look, so it's decidedly utilitarian.
If you find Apple’s leather key ring for the AirTag a tad too bland (and you have a taste for the finer things), consider this luxe Hermès accessory instead. It’s made from genuine leather with exquisite stitching, and you can order it in many colors.
Better yet, the key ring comes with an AirTag, whose battery cover has been engraved with the iconic fashion house’s logo.
