I've been bought a nice wallet which has an airtag slot on the front of it. I use android and therefore don't want to put an airtag in to the slot, but also don't want to leave it empty.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to put in there instead. Googling is pretty useless as I keep just getting reviews for other AirTag wallets.

3D print an adapter to hold a coin to use on Aldi carts.

[–] whynotzoidberg@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Had a few ideas for ya:

2 coins

A fake AirTag

A couple pieces of chiclets gum

Coiled wire or string

Fresh air (or a fart), in a tiny ziploc bag

A tiny hair doll

Two very tiny hair dolls

Let me know if you need any more!

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Thanks! I like the idea of a couple of coins, but aren't AirTags bigger in circumference than a coin?

[–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There may be challenge coins out there that relate to your favorite causes or hobbies that could be fun to slot in, just do a search for "<> challenge coin" and see if anything tickles your fancy

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This. I think this is probably what I'm going to do! Thanks!

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Coin shaped silver bullion might be the right size

[–] Moghul@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Are they wider than Danish 5dkk coins? They have a fairly nice design and a hole in the middle.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There are a lot of coins out there. Just travel the world until you find the one that fits.

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

What a good excuse to travel!

What about an Android alternative? I don't use any, so can't recommend, but I'm sure one of them will be a knockoff of a similar size.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 11 months ago

and google is releasing their own find-my-device alternative very soon (currently waiting for apple), so you could put something like a Chipolo tag in there, once they are released (they have bluetooth onces, but they don't use the new network)

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I like this idea, finding one the right size is my only issue. most appear to be a different shape and the Chipolo is 6 cm wider.

[–] CallMeM@lemmy.ml 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

It's just finding one the right size I'm struggling with.

[–] Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Depends on tolerances, I'd probably see if a Chipolo or some other tracker would fit. Android ones are coming very soon.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Assuming Google actually gets their finger out and enable the system...

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I thought the hills up was as apple failing too implement safety features?

[–] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Samsung's tracker is pretty dang good. Use it on my keys!

[–] Ejh3k@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 11 months ago

for decoration, yes. But please never use a condom that was stored in a walled

[–] radiosimian@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A strong neodymium magnet so you can stick your wallet to your fridge.

[–] Evoliddaw@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

If you still have cards with magnetic swipe strips, you're gonna have a bad time.

Nfc tag? Use tasker to automate something with it.

[–] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Poker chip maybe.

You can also get a custom AirTag skin and put that skin around something else (probably the poker chip, or a broken AirTag) to have a perfectly sized photo for the slot.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

What kind if wallet is it, and may we see it and this slot?

[–] neptune@dmv.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A half dollar coin. A condom.

[–] Toes@ani.social 1 points 11 months ago
[–] ultra@feddit.ro 2 points 11 months ago

A tile tracker or Samsung galaxy tag

I did the minimum math... I didn't really feel like figuring out the exact density of an air tag. It is definitely more than 11 grams by volume of gunpowder, but how much I cannot say.

I am lazy... and Googling Airtag volume just displays results about the actual loudness of an airtag alert.

There is also the question of whether you would just compress the gunpowder into a puck, or store it inside an airtag shaped container. If the latter you might even lose a gram of gunpowder.
