I am so excited about this. DH misplaces the car keys all.the.time and it drives me crazy. Going to order one to put in my wallet, too!

Ooh! I need this on my keys. We had one of those whistle activated things a few years back but it was a train wreck. People talking activated it, rendering it useless.

I've been eying that for a while. I want to put one on my husband's keys so I can find him in stores. He always carries his phone but getting him to actually answer it is another thing entirely.

Do you think we could collar our kitten and attach one of those? That would be awesome! One more reason ton finally cave and join the world of smartphones :)

Very cool! My only reservation is that at almost $20 each, they should come with replaceable batteries instead of the whole thing needing to be replaced once a year.

I haven't heard of this before. Definitely getting one for my mom. Thanks!

Lojacking the DH. Very clever. :bighand:

It doesn't work for android phones, and it looks like they have no intention to introduce a model with android support. Otherwise I would be all over this!

I know everyone complains about their DHs losing stuff, but I'm the "loser" in our family. I pre-ordered the tiles. They're not shipping for a couple of months I believe. I'm so looking forward to it! I can't tell you how many times a week I have to use the "find my iphone" app. :bag I figure Tiles will be the equivalent of "find my keys" and "find my kindle" and "find my wallet".

Love the concept overall, but the annual replacement is definitely annoying.

I'm actually thinking this would be great in kids backpacks, or attached to their belt.

Or in their shoes.
