I got a 4-pack. One for keys, one for carry-on luggage, one for checked luggage. I’ll probably give the last one to my mom for her purse or something.
The luggage ones will be repurposed as needed (camera bag, coat, etc.).

1. Luggage
2. Car - The tracking option I can use currently via my iPhone does not have the pinpoint accuracy I'd like. It gives you a general idea of the location but I've spent 15-30 minutes searching for my car using the feature in a large parking structure. Hopefully the AirTags are more accurate. Can't wait to get them to try.

Bought a 4 pack. Two for me and the others for family members.
I'm going to use it for keys, and the other misc things.

I would buy 4 airtags.
1. Car Keys
2. Cochlear Implant remote
3. Cochlear Implant bilateral audio cord
4. Cochlear implant processor carrying box
I'm constantly losing my Cochlear Implant Remote and bilateral audio cord. I don't use my Cochlear implant remote often and when I do end up needing to use it to adjust my cochlear implant processor volume or change programs — I'm either forgetting where I put it or I literally can't find it. Same goes for my bilateral cords. I just got the AirPod Max which have been amazing for me. But I use my bilateral cord for when I workout or go running outside and I tend to forget where I placed it too. My cochlear implant remote costs $350 and my bilateral cord costs $200 plus tax. If I lose one of those (or both), that's basically almost $550. Obviously I wear my cochlear implants everyday, but when I travel I use a special carrying box to put my cochlear implants in for safety reasons. My cochlear implants processor alone cost $7,500 for both ears. Yikes.
I'm holding off of purchasing the airtags as I want to see how people will like them, or if they will run into any issues with the airtags. Instead, I just purchased Apple Watch band new pistachio solo braided loop and the pistachio iphone silicone case
I thought getting those accessories in the pistachio color would be fun since they're not going to be around for long. And I always missed out on the new fun colors that apple are always coming out with! But I'm ultimately super excited about the airtags as they're Deaf friendly for me! I'm glad that apple had accessibility in mind with the airtags when they were producing them. I love how the phone can give you a visualization as to where the lost item is, and pinpoint you to help you locate it. I would have purchased Tile, but Tile goes off by sound and as a Deaf person, that's not easy for me because my cochlear implants have a hard time locating where the sounds are coming from, so airtags would definitely make things a lot easier for me when I'm locating 'said' item. So I'm interested in waiting and seeing how people like them, and if there are some bugs that might occur.

Probably my bike if I ever do more city rides, just gotta figure out how to hide it...
Years ago we had fairly senior member of our Kiwanis Club, we congratulated him for being patriotic with his US Flag on his antenna, "patriotic hell, it's the only way I can find my car." Ordered one today for my car keys, I only have one for the MB SUV, at $400 a pop for a second key, this was far more economical. I will probably get on for the motorcycle (Avatar).
I am doing three sets of keys and my work bag.
Has anyone heard if things like the AirPods, new AppleTV remote, or other Apple devices will be compatible? I misplace that stuff in my house all the time and Airpods can only tell me things like there they were 12 hours ago. It isn't very helpful and this sounds like a much better solution.

I ordered a 4 pack, I may give one to the wife, and I'll use one for my keys. I'd love to use one for my wallet as I'm constantly losing that, but sadly, I don't think its designed for that. Its a bit thicker then a tile and I don't think its made to take the pressure of being sat on.
Looks cool but I can’t think of any significant use case for me. Received a tile as a gift and in the 2yrs it’s been on my keys I’ve never used it. Not that I don’t misplace them - I misplace everything - but i can usually find them in 5m?
If they were super thin I would probably do wallet and my work ID, but they look too thick for wallet and I will quit before I become work lanyard guy.
AirPods Pro is an interesting idea, but I’m usually looking for one of the ears, not the case. Hopefully they will bring elements of this tech to the next Pros, bc the Find My is extremely hit or miss for me.

They’re ip67 rated for water resistance though! So a meter under water for 30 minutes. That should survive a dunk or two by the pool!
People must really lose their keys and wallets.....
I must be in the rare club to have never or misplaced either of those in my life

I got two. One to put in my bag. One to put on the AirTag in my bag so that I don’t lose my AirTag.
I have never had trouble losing stuff, but perhaps I'd just buy one to attach to my backpack (I have the habit to always go around with a backpack, similarly to how women carry purses around) just for the piece of mind.
