Best Apple AirTag Accessories of 2025

Everyone has lost or misplaced an item, like their phone, wallet or keys every now and then. Thankfully, tech can help us find what we need, like Apple’s AirTag, when it might be wedged between the couch cushions. AirTags are small, round, disk-style devices that one can easily pop into a bag, backpack or Nintendo Switch case. But if you want to track your keys or another item, an accessory will make it possible.

Luckily, there are plenty of AirTag accessories on the market. There are options from both first and third-party brands, and they range from keychains to luggage tags and more. Depending on the selection, they can offer specialized attachment options that often provide protection or style – maybe both.

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 for full protection.
