Tileby Life360 Slim - Wallet Finder, Bluetooth Tracker and Item Locator for Luggage Tags, Passports and More. Both iOS and Android Compatible. Phone Finder. 1-Pack (Black)

I bought the Tile Slim mainly for my wallet and passport and it has been incredibly reliable. Setup is very simple: download the Tile app, pair the device in a couple of minutes, and slide it into whatever you want to protect.Here’s how I’ve been using it:In my wallet: open the app, tap “Find,” and it rings loudly enough to hear from another room.For my phone: double-press the Tile and my phone rings even on silent.When traveling: if my bag is out of Bluetooth range, the Life360 network gives me extra peace of mind.It is slim, discreet, and works exactly as advertised. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a simple way to keep track of important items.

I'm making this review one day after receiving the product, so keep that in mind.Setup was easy but long-winded. It requires a phone app, no way around that. It also requires you to turn off battery optimization for the app and give it 24/7 background monitoring permissions. The app works well, and the paid-for services are very unnecessary and not pushed very much.The card has a button that can be double-clicked to ring your phone.The phone app can use a "find my device" kind of functionality to ring the card. The phone sound is not turned up for the ring, so if your phone was silent, the ring might not work... or if the volume was low, it wouldn't increase the volume. If the phone was set to airplace mode or had BT off, it also would not ring at all. The card's ring, however, works quite well.The card is thin, almost as thin as a credit card, and fits into some wallets but not as easily as a credit card. You may have to put it in the cash part of your wallet. Some wallets block the connection to the phone, too, so if your wallet blocks signals, this card may be rendered useless.The finder app can also tell you where the card is, and if you pay for their tracking service, the places the card and phone visit will be logged on a map. You can also name specific addresses to more easily track times the card/phone arrive at such locations. Good tracking device if you don't mind a service fee.I'm considering getting a second card for my wife. This thing works really well. However, I'm going to wait a couple months and see if the battery lasts.

I’m sure tiles are often compared to AirTags, and to be completely honest, AirTags have a better presentation in my opinion. They’re simpler to use because Apple is really good at providing user-friendly presentations. Not to mention, AirTags have less features. However, once you get a hang of using a tile, I would argue that it can be better than an AirTag in some situations. It has very accurate tracking, good battery life, comes with a built-in loop to be attached by a keychain or carabiner on the smaller tile. The tiles can make loud sounds if you’re with vicinity. The tile app keeps track of where you have been ever since you activated the tile. One thing I figured out is that if you ignore all of the places that you have been and find where you are at the current moment, the map on the app can show exactly where your tile is not just where it was just like an AirTag. Tile also has a card shaped tile in this pack, which is perfect for a wallet. I have lost my wallet more times than I’d like to admit and it’s one of the worst and most inconvenient situations of all time. This card fits nicely in your wallet and even has a QR on it so if someone finds it, they can return it easily to you by accessing whatever information you provide for the QR the reason I go with tile is because they are cheap cheaper, have more features, and they even have a card shaped tracker, unlike Apple AirTags.

I bought the Life360 slim tile card to help find my misplaced wallet within my home, and, for the most part it works well. What I like most about the card is it continuously sounds with a volume loud enough that I can hear the tracker even on a different floor. The only issue I have is that the visual clues within the Life360 app that , guide you to the tracker, don't work very well, if the card is sandwiched between credit cards in an RFID protected wallet. Still, the card's sound is loud enough, by itself, to find the wallet. Another great feature with this card, is by double clicking it, it will make your phone sound even if the sound on it is turned off. Now I can as easily find my phone as I can my wallet, but only if they are within 300 ft of each other.However, beyond the Bluetooth range of your phone, your tracker needs other nearby phones, to report your card's location to a hub that passes that information on to you. The Life360 app has its own hub, that depends on those nearby Android and Apple Bluetooth enabled phones that have actually installed the Life360 app needed to report your card's location. How large is that pool of phones? I don't know exactly, but Life360 reports they have sold 66 million trackers world wide, so perhaps the Tile network is significantly large. But is that pool of both Android and IOS phones with this hub as large as either the the Google Find Hub or the IOS FindMy Hub? If not, the location of a lost wallet with a tile card might not be updated very quickly. (Hopefully, I won't lose my wallet outside my home and have test the size of Tile network.)In conclusion, I think this Tile360 tracker card works well for locating a misplaced wallet or a phone within the confines of your home. For that alone, it's worth its price, even it has only a 3 year life. Whether the Tile360 network of finder phones is dense enough to quickly locate a lost wallet, outside your home, is not as certain.
