Brilliant, thank you.
I was going to wait until nearer Christmas, to get longer on the guarantee but that seems a good deal.

However I’m dithering.
I wasn’t sure whether to get this mixed pack.
So the card shape one fits in a wallet, the one with a hole to attach to key ring, and the sticker one to stick in his phone.
Any thoughts?
I want it to be a surprise so I can’t ask him.

Also it says it will only work in iOS 10 or later, I’ve no idea if he has a compatible phone or not.

The tile can ring your phone anyway, double press the button and the alarm on the phone goes off, plus there is a find my phone option online for iphones, so I'd not worry about the sticker.

The wallet one did interest me, but I wanted to see it before buying. I only carry a small card holder, with 5 cards in, and was worried it may be bulky.

Still never actually needed the tile since buying them, typical!

Just wanted to say a big thank you @tek-monkey for your help with the Tile.

Husband is thrilled with his tile, I bought the 4 pack, one for the wallet, key ring and phones.
He’s playing with it now as it happens.

I would never have even heard about it if it wasn’t for you.

The advice on that page is wrong, it does work on bluetooth but anyone that has a tile within range can tell the user where it is.

What I find interesting is the new apple version has a feature to warn you specifically of this, albeit not for a day or so. If away from it's 'owner' for a prolonged period it alerts those nearby to it's presence, which would help in this case. What won't help is with apple every device user is a node, so rather than a tile user needing to be nearby any apple user within bluetooth range will give away your location.

Great for finding your key, scary AF if someone wants to track you.

I do that with keys and phone, phone is always on silent cos we're not meant have them on us at work, so no-one can ring it cos I dont even use the vibrate bit

I bought a set for husband for Christmas, he’s always losing things.
One is attached to his keys, another is shaped like a credit card so it fits in his wallet and the other one is stuck on his phone.
