Have you ever thought to yourself... "What if I lose THIS??" "IT'S OVER!!!"
Okay, maybe I'm a little dramatic, but one time, not long ago... I took one of my Pokémon plushies (It was Gordie from PKMN Sword and Shield) out for a little photoshoot when my friends and I were at a peach orchard. I.... dropped him. I did not realize until after we had stopped for snacks that he was MIA. I had to launch a little search and rescue and retrace my steps. THANKFULLY, he was found, but as someone who likes to carry around a lot of little guys for company and photos it made me realize maybe I needed a better way to keep them safe.
I knew that things like Air Tags existed, and as an iPhone user, I figured that would be an easy choice. They run about $30, but that doesn't include the little case, it's just the tag, so I ended up going with Tile, which is basically the same concept, but you need the app, and it's square. Supposedly they come in lots of different designs, but my BestBuy only had these plain white ones. That's fine though, white is futuristic, right?
It's a painless process to activate the tile and attach it to you app. I was amazed to find that the app can hold several of them, so if you want to tag other things like your keys, bag, etc. there is plenty of room!
I hope I don't lose little Raihan (My friend picked him up at the Pokémon Center in JAPAN for me sob), but since he's the plush I am currently toting around, I feel like he is much safer now JUST IN CASE. And most of the time he rides inside my bag, which means if I lose my bag for some reason, I can track that too! I tend to hold my phone in my hand or pocket, so I have high hopes about this plan. :)
Without getting too technical about my current location, below is how the tile shows up in the app!
