Nobody’s questioning the efficacy of the ultra-popular Apple AirTag. But if you’ve ever tried to put one in a wallet, or attach one to that TV remote that constantly gets lost, you realize there’s a flaw in the one-size-fits-all approach. A 4-pack of Life360 Tile Essentials, marked down to just $55 right now at Amazon, brings you the variety that lets you keep track of those disc-defying items like the remote.
The pack includes the standard square Mate (for keys or bags), a Slim (for wallets), and a Sticker (for remotes or whatever flat surface you’d like to make findable), plus a fourth unit. Buying them separately costs noticeably more, and the $55 price is just over half of what a 4-pack of AirTags is going for.

Eyes on Your Prize
The concept and operation of the Life360 Tile Essentials is familiar to anyone who’s used a Bluetooth tracker before. They work through the Tile app, available on both iOS and Android. When something goes missing, you ring it from the app. When the item is out of Bluetooth range, the Life360 network draws on other Tile and Life360 users’ devices to passively update your tracker’s last-known location to extend the search. The network is smaller than Apple’s Find My, but it’s cross-platform in a way Find My isn’t, which matters if you’re buying for a household running both iPhone and Android.
