[Electronics-Talk] Tiles to find things

[Mosen, Jonathan]

Hello everyone, Tiles come in a variety of form factors. They offer one called a Tile Sticker. It's adhesive is very strong, and it's a tiny round object. It would be ideal for attaching safely to a phone, although it would be important if your phone supports magSafe that it is attached somewhere that doesn't interfere with those accessories.

I'm not aware of something that can stick to objects like this, but perhaps some DIY with Velcro circles on the back of a Tile or AirTag could work. Tiles tend to be louder than Airtags, but they are bigger. 
Tiles are also much cheaper, with a four pack costing about the same as two Airtags.
