The Most Stylish Men’s AirTag Wallets

There are loads of mundane ways to ruin a perfectly good day. Perhaps the simplest, quickest and most effective is to lose your wallet. Every man has at some point experienced that sinking realisation that his bank cards, cash and driver’s licence have absconded in one fell swoop, and suffice to say it’s a bit of a mood killer.

Going through the hassle of losing an item this important is certainly something to be avoided if at all possible. But how? Isn’t the occasional disappearing wallet simply par for the course over the duration of a life well lived? Perhaps in the past, but with the democratisation of fancy tracking tech, there’s actually no need to permanently lose one ever again.

Apple’s coin-sized AirTag device brings the company’s ‘Find My’ tracking technology – the same thing you use to track your lost iPhone, MacBook or Apple Watch – to everyday items. You can pop one on your key fob, clip one onto a cat’s collar or even pop one into the pouch of a specially designed AirTag wallet and never worry about losing your cash and cards again.

What Is An AirTag Wallet?

Minimify

An AirTag wallet does everything your regular wallet can do but with one added benefit: you can track it using your phone or computer. Just imagine, you’re in a rush to leave the house and can’t locate your wallet. With an AirTag incorporated into the design, all you have to do is pull out your phone, open the app and make it play a sound so you can easily find where you left it.

These wallets house the AirTag in a storage pouch. This is because carrying one in a normal wallet isn’t always possible or practical because of the thickness of the tracker. An AirTag is as thick as multiple bank cards sandwiched together, which makes it awkward to stuff into a regular billfold or cardholder.

It’s a relatively new concept, but one that is quickly gathering pace. Many top brands now offer their own versions of the AirTag wallet, including Apple itself (although strictly speaking it doesn’t use an actual AirTag). Below, we’ve rounded up a few of the best and most stylish options on the market. But first, check out our key buying tips to make sure you end up with the right one.

Buying Considerations

Material

Normest

Many AirTag wallets are designed to look a lot like a traditional leather wallet or cardholder. This means they’ll be made from a nice smooth or grained leather, often in black or brown. That’s not your only option though.

Increasingly, brands are playing around with unconventional modern materials, like carbon fibre. The benefit is that it’s lighter and stronger, but the rigidity of the material won’t be to everyone’s liking.

There are also canvas options, which are a little more casual, but still hardwearing and tough enough to stand up to daily use.

Dimensions

Ridge

Generally, an AirTag wallet will be just the right size to slot in a few cards, a bit of cash and attach your AirTag. However, it’s worth considering that the AirTag compartment can create some additional bulk, which means an AirTag wallet is often a bit thicker than the traditional untrackable alternative.

If you’re the type of person who hates having things in your pockets, you might want to consider a slimmer alternative. Thankfully, there are lots of credit card-shaped GPS trackers that can slot right into a conventional wallet. The only downside is that they don’t sync up quite so harmoniously with all your pre-existing Apple tech.

Price

Minimify

You want to spend enough to get a wallet that’s built well and will last. You also want to have some money left to put in it. Decent AirTag wallets start at around £15 and go all the way up to over £100. This upper threshold will probably increase even further if and when designer labels pick up on the concept.

For the time being though, AirTag wallets are really only available from specialist brands, independent sellers and retail sites like Amazon and Etsy.
