Apple AirTags have saved me so many lost-item headaches but the size and shape make them awful for placing in a wallet. That’s where this ‘SmartCard’ comes in.
ZDNET’s key takeaways
KeySmart’s SmartCard is available from Amazon for $40 (3-pack for $90).
It’s super thin, works with Apple iOS Find My, wireless rechargeable battery, and is IPX7-rated.
It needs recharging every 5 months or so.
Apple AirTags have changed my life, saving me countless hours looking for keys and other items that I didn’t put back in the place I should have put them back in.
But there are a few flaws in the design. First, the replaceable battery means you’re chucking away handfuls of CR2032s every year. Then there’s the shape and size. These tiny UFO-shaped devices don’t have a lanyard hole and are too bulky to be placed in a wallet without giving you a pain in the rear.
Yes, some wallets have little holders for AirTags, but in my experience, they are all too bulky.
But there’s a third-party AirTag-like product that takes everything that the original Apple AirTag has to offer, and solves all of the above problems and more. That tag is the KeySmart SmartCard.
The KeySmart Wallet Tracker Card is the thickness of about two credit cards, making it the slimmest tracking card on the market.
The first thing I love about the SmartCard is the thickness, or more specifically, its thinness!
While Apple’s AirTag is 8 mm thick, the Smart`Card is less than 2 mm, or the thickness of two credit cards.
This makes it perfect for use in a wallet. There’s also a luggage tag hole in the end for attaching the SmartCard to your suitcase.
