The previous page is still viewable via the Wayback Machine. Definitely not a coincidence: The company changed the page text after Input’s email. Input reached out to Nimalist about this blatant plagiarism but did not receive a response. Its “Our Story” page copies lines word-for-word from Nomad’s “About Us” page.

This included searches logged out of my account using a VPN.įor a company with this much money to spend on social media ads and SEO, Nimalist is surprisingly full of red flags. It was both the top ad at the top of searches, took up the majority of space in Google’s “shopping” carousel, and was the first actual store to show up after various buyers guide articles. Social network targeting is tough to confirm, but Nimalist’s SEO and AdSense strategy are certainly impressive as they rank at the top of Google results for both “wallet” and “airtag wallet” for me. According to anecdotal evidence from friends, the company has been plastering Facebook and Instagram with ads in recent weeks.
Of all the brands, Nimalist struck me as particularly shady. The similarities suggest to me that many (if not all) of these wallets come from a generic OEM in Asia selling these to drop-shippers willing to try their luck at reselling them. Wallets with outer pockets like this low-quality Nimalist are just plain uncomfortable.
But, before you go clicking those buy buttons, it’s worth knowing that “Hawanik” a generic Amazon brand sells a similar basic wallet for $13, and several brands sell the slide wallet for less than half of Swisst. They’ll also sell you the same “slide” wallet if you need more storage for your cards and cash, Nimalist for $90 and Swisst for $50. Nimalist and Swisst will each sell you a basic wallet for $40. When I first began this search in earnest last month, nearly eight months from the debut of AirTags, I was let down that this seemingly obvious market had yet to be addressed by any of the brands I associate with making “cool wallets for cool people.” Simply searching for “AirTag wallet” on Google yielded results from companies I’d never heard of selling what appeared to be the exact same wallets. We only include products that have been independently selected by Input's editorial team. Input may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. Some have successfully DIY’d their own AirTag cards with the help of 3D printing as a good temporary solution. This is a worthy aspiration for the future, but one that may not bear fruit for years. I’m not going to hold my breath for Apple to sell a full-sized wallet with AirTag circuitry woven within, or even a card-shaped AirTags tracker of its own, as the company is on a long-term mission to replace wallets entirely with Apple Pay, digital ID cards, and smart home and car keys. If your wallet falls off or is stolen, you’ll have no luck finding it. Your iPhone only records it’s location whenever the MagSafe wallet is detached, but there’s no radio or battery inside the wallet. The MagSafe wallet the company makes does technically “work” with Find My but in a very primitive way. For that, AirTags are the only option for now.Īpple itself isn’t doing much to help. No! I want my phone to guide me right up to the couch cushion my wallet is hiding in.

Chipolo sells a tracker card that works with Find My instead of its own network, but it still has the limitations of Bluetooth tracking. From there, you’re relying on audible cues to find the darn thing. Sure, I could buy a Tile or Chipolo tracker the size of a huskier credit card to slide into my wallet, but those only get you in the same room as your wallet if you lose it. This is why I was so bewildered by the utter lack of wallets with an AirTag slot from these companies. Nomad’s “Card for AirTag” helps the AirTag fit comfortably in traditional wallets.
