Otterbox’s keychain holder (the one Otterbox calls it the “sturdy sleeve” keychain holder, it was launched a little later than some Apple Airtag accessories, but it’s made of solid plastic and it does indeed include Your Airtag for full protection. It’s easy to install: You unscrew the top piece, place the airtag in the case, and then tighten the top to lock the airtag in the bracket.

If you are looking for a good value option, your best bet is probably to roll the dice on a nameless brand. This Eusty keychain cover comes in four pieces for less than $10. Typically, general-purpose models like this are labeled “leather” when in fact they are faux leather (sometimes called PU leather or vegan leather).
These look a lot like other basic faux leather Airtag keychains and offer some color options. There are dozens of generic drug holders and dozens of holders. Most should be good, but don’t expect them to be like real leather models over time.

Apple’s loop is the loop that holds your Airtag on the bag, which costs as much as the Airtag. But this is Apple’s official loop option, which is cheaper than the $35 leather loop. It’s not a good deal, but I just pointed it out. It comes in four colors.

If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on the mount, these gorilla mounting tape squares are a cheaper option to cut it to the size of the Airtags. Airtags have an IPX67 waterproof rating, which means it can completely immerse it in up to a meter of water for 30 minutes and is dust-proof. Therefore, it can withstand punishment without cover. After all, it has no screen.

Airtag uses a CR2032 coin battery, which should last about a year. You can find 10 batteries on Amazon for around $11. That’s the way to go, especially if you have multiple Airtags as well as other devices using CR2032 coin batteries. Always remember to keep the coin battery away from the child to avoid accidentally swallowing one. If consumed, they can cause significant harm.

Caseology’s AirTag Vault is another straight-forward keychain option that is affordable at $15 (currently sold for $6), but it may drop a few dollars over time. (Caseology is also a sub-brand of Spigen.) It is one of the few Apple Airtag accessories available at launch, so it is very popular. It comes with a carabiner, but you can attach a standard keychain if you want.

I like the design of the Nomad’s leather Airtag keychain better than Apple, which exposes the Airtag partly. The Airtag keychain hides it and looks more like a standard keychain. It aims to “weather” over time, becoming darker (especially the brown version). It comes in brown or black for $30, which is expensive, but good. Nomad also made leather rings, which are also a key chain. List, $20. I prefer the more expensive model shown here.
