9to5Toys’ Take
Apple’s AirTag 2 is more than likely inbound with some connectivity and range upgrades, but it is sure to be more pricey than the regular deals we tracked on AirTag over the last year or more, and significantly more than the new 2025 Spigen Find My-equipped Tag Me equivalents.
Okay so, they are already less pricey than the existing AirTag and certainly less than the AirTag 2 will be, but this is to be expected with a brand like Spigen that often hits above its pay grade and undercuts the competition at the same time – what else does Tag Me having going for it?
While aesthetics seem to be much less of a thing when it comes to these tiny tag-style trackers, especially if you’re just going to tuck them away in a hidden luggage pocket or something of that nature, but it nonetheless matters to me. And with that said I came away pleasantly surprised with the look and feel of these things after getting hands-on.
They deliver a stark alternative to the white/silver vibe of the Apple trackers. I’m not sure they look better than AirTag – if you’re into the clean white Apple vibes, there’s no real competition for AirTag anyway – but they are nice. The black livery with the orange accents works well and they feel much less brittle than I had initially thought they might after seeing the price.
Speaking of the build, Spigen include a short integrated lanyard like strap right into the side of the tag – this means you can loop it around just about anything (keychains, bag straps, and so on) without having to dish out extra cash for keychain and loop accessories like you would with an AirTag. This also highlights the price on these tags even further – they are more like half the price or even less than an AirTag if you factor in the spend on accessory add-ons.
It is also worth noting the screw top. There are plenty of affordable AirTag competitors out there from budget brands, but there are also plenty of them with batteries you can’t charge or replace. While the Tag Me doesn’t have the rechargeable battery I think we all wish these locators had, you can easily pop off the top to get at the replaceable battery.
Ok now let’s talk Find My and performance – they work more or less exactly the way every other worthy third-party Find My integration works. You just add them to other devices on the Find My app, give it a name, an icon, and you’re ready to go.
They support the usual Left Behind notifications, alarm tiggers via the onboard speaker, and you can track them on the Apple Find My app just as expected. While I haven’t had a chance to mail them or leave them all that far behind on purpose, I have easily been able to track them down after having a friend hide them in his house, car, and even on the side of the road down the street. And at $10 a pop, that’s more than I expected really.
There’s no denying how good the AirTag can be, and more than likely how much better it’s going to be when gen 2 debuts, not to mention it being a relatively affordable piece of tech by Apple standards, but Spigen gives it a good run for its money and especially so if you’re looking to scoop up a bundle of them for the fam or different bags and such.
