I'm just looking for something that I can attach to my keys, and ideally, open up an app on my phone with GPS that'll show me where they are.

Bump?
---

I literally have one sitting on my end table that I got for Christmas and never opened. I guess I should try it.
---

Dude, that would be great!

I've seen some that make noise which ain't too bad, but it wouldn't have been ideal in light of the most recent incident where my sister took them in her room with her and went to bed. I was looking for my keys at 12 am last night >_>'

If the app shows how close you are to the tile, that would be perfect.

Ill open it up and let you know.

So this thing is actually pretty cool since it's a two-way locator, which I didnt know. You can double click the Tile and it makes your phone ring, or you can use the app to activate the Tile and it makes a noise.

As for a GPS locator, when you go to find it you can click 'View on map' which brings up a map showing the last place it was seen (I can give you a screenshot if you want). It also has this green ring that looks like it gets wider the closer you get, but I havent tried that part.

The bad thing is that in order to check the map you'd have to click on the tile which would force it to make noise.

that actually seems cool, but i never lose my keys

Ill end up using to find my phone more than anything since I set my keys down in the same spot.

Awesome! Thank you so much.

Probably going to go and order one or two tonight. I have a tendency to occasionally lose everything. How thick is it? Would it feasibly fit in a wallet with a bunch of business cards and whatnot?

I took out my credit cards/IDs and it's about 7 cards 'thick' if that makes sense. I just stacked them next to it until they were the same height.

I switched from your usual wallet style to a real minimal one, but I dont think I'd notice if it was in my wallet in my back pocket.

Hmm, okay thanks.

Yeah, my main concern is with my wallet actually closing. Worse case scenario, I might be able to take the board out and give it a new flatter case.

Here's the size compared to the keys and stuff
---

It does seem smaller than what I was picturing. Might just order the one that I know I'll need for my keys and then see how it would work for my wallet before ordering another one.

Thanks for all your help, man. I didn't want to drop $25 on one if it didn't do what I need, but I don't believe that will be an issue
---

No problem man. I'm glad you made this topic because it's literally been sitting next to my bed since December and I've never touched it lol

After screwing around with it, the keys thing seems like its a good idea, especially since it works both ways. I might get one for my wallet later. Lemme know if you want a photo from another angle or something.
