A user makes a "card" type AirTag to keep in the wallet

Airtag card

The first thing I did when I opened the box of the Air Tag is to see if he could keep it in his wallet. Too thick, I thought. And in the end, it has ended up hanging on the house keys. I suppose it is the same thing that a clever user thought, with more inventiveness than a server, and with a 3D printer.

Next we can see how Andrew Ngai has disassembled an AirTag, and has placed it in a plastic card, with the battery separated. Thus it has managed to reduce the thickness to 3,8 mm., which allows you to save it in a wallet like any credit card. I hope that in Cupertino they take note.

Apple's new tracker is reasonably small and light, but it's still too thick for those who want to carry it in a purse. Because Apple only offers AirTag with a single layout option, andrew ngai He decided to make his own slimmer version so he could keep it in his handbag like a credit card. And of course it is to take off the hat, viewing the inventiveness that the kid has had.

What it has done has been to extract the motherboard from the plastic case, and house the battery separately to reduce the thickness. The rest was easier. He took measurements of the board and battery, and built a card on his printer 3D with the two housings necessary to fit the two components.

This is how his «AirTag Card»With only 3,8 mm. thick, fully functional and operational, which can be stored without any problem inside a pocket wallet, along with other credit cards.

Perhaps in Cupertino they are already seeing the video lesson, and in a while we will see an AirTag Card to carry in the wallet. It would be quite a hoot.
