Best Apple AirTag Accessories of 2025

By /

When all is lost – such as phones, wallets and keys – we turn to tech, like Apple’s AirTag, to locate what might be wedged between the couch cushions. The small, round, disk-style device can be easily popped in a bag, backpack or Nintendo Switch case, but depending on what needs monitoring, an accessory can tailor the tracker to any use case.

Luckily, AirTag accessories are plentiful, with first- and third-party options ranging from key chains to luggage tags. Depending on the selection, they can offer specialized attachment options that often provide some protection or style – maybe both.

While we CNET editors have made it our mission to try out everything we recommend, we haven’t managed to do so for these Apple AirTag accessories. But if we haven’t tested a product ourselves, we’ve checked out other products from the same brands, so we feel confident in our recommendations. As we get the chance to test more Apple AirTag accessories, we’ll add more to the list.

Key chains and straps

One of the best AirTag accessories, Belkin’s Secure Holder for AirTags comes in key ring or strap versions in four color options. There’s nothing terribly fancy about them, but at $13, they both cost less than Apple-branded options shown below. You can also get a two-pack for $20.

While it launched a little later than some Apple AirTag accessories, Otterbox’s key chain holder, which Otterbox calls a “Rugged Case,” is made of solid plastic and does indeed encase your AirTag (you unscrew the top piece, place your AirTag in the case, then screw the top piece back on to lock the AirTag in the holder).

The Apple-branded leather key ring costs around $35 and is available in a few color options, though you may find limited stock with FineWoven replacements making it to stores.

If you’re looking for a value option, your best bet may be to roll the dice on a no-name brand. This Eusty key chain cover is available in a four-pack for less than $10. Often, generic models like this are labeled as “leather” when in fact they are faux leather (sometimes referred to as PU leather or vegan leather).

These look a lot like other basic faux leather AirTag key chains and come in a few color options. There are dozens if not hundreds of generic AirTag holders available. Most should be fine, but don’t expect them to wear as well over time as the true leather models.

Spigen is also selling an attractively simple key chain Apple AirTag holder, the Valentinus, for around $18. It’s made of faux leather.

Apple’s Loop, made for attaching your AirTag to a bag, costs as much as an AirTag. But it’s Apple’s official loop option and this polyurethane option is cheaper than the leather $35 Leather Loop. (That doesn’t make it a good deal, but I’m just pointing it out.) It’s available in four colors.

Spigen, known for its value iPhone cases, has its Apple AirTag Case Rugged Armor. It’s not quite as cheap as we hoped it would be, but maybe it will reduce in price in time. It does have a rugged design with a nice carabiner and carbon fiber elements.

Caseology’s AirTag Vault is another straightforward key chain option that’s affordable at $15 (currently on sale for $6) but could shave a few dollars off its price over time. (Caseology is also a sub-brand of Spigen.) It’s one of the few Apple AirTag accessories that was available at launch and has been pretty popular as a result. It comes with a carabiner but you could attach a standard key chain if you want.

Other AirTag options

Moment, which makes and sells photo and video accessories for Apple products, including lens attachments, will have an enclosure accessory that allows you to mount your Apple AirTag. It’s “made from a rugged aramid fiber shell and backed with a super strong adhesive, you can stick an AirTag to any flat surface,” Moment says. So, it’ll keep the device protected and offers easy and trustworthy attachment.

If you’re looking for a holder that sticks onto an object (like the underside of a bike seat or scooter), Pelican’s Stick-on AirTag Mount is designed to do just that. A single mount costs $10 while a pack of four sells for $30 or less when on sale. It’s available in many colors.

If you don’t want to spend a lot for a mount, these Gorilla Mounting Tape Squares are a cheaper option and can be cut to size for AirTags. AirTags have an IPX67 water-resistance rating, which means it can be fully submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes and is dustproof. So it can withstand some punishment without a cover. After all, it doesn’t have a screen.

Casetify has a wide variety of AirTag holders. They’re made of hard plastic and are fairly basic but have some eye-catching art on the backside. You can also customize them with your name or choose from several emojis and other graphics. They’re expensive at $32 but sometimes go on sale.

The AirTag uses a CR2032 coin battery, which should last about a year. You can find a 10-pack of those batteries on Amazon for somewhere around $11. That’s the way to go, especially if you have multiple AirTags, and other devices that use CR2032 coin batteries. Always remember to keep coin batteries away from small children so they don’t accidentally swallow one. They can cause major injury if ingested.

While this faux leather affordable key ring from Cyrill, a sub-brand of Korea-based Spigen, is nothing fancy but it is available in a premium black and gold finish. You can also look into the rest of Cyrill’s collection on Amazon.

I like the design of Nomad’s leather AirTag key chain better than Apple’s, which leaves the AirTag partially exposed. This AirTag key chain hides it and looks more like a standard key chain. It’s designed to “weather” over time, getting darker (particularly the brown version). It’s available in brown or black for $30, which is pricey but it is nice. Nomad also makes a Leather Loop that’s also a key chain and lists for $20. I prefer the more expensive model pictured here.
