Thank goodness for Trackeroo - a cute little silicone case that fits both your chargeable AirPods case AND your choice of tracking tile, and also comes with a handy carabiner and "contact if lost" ID tag! Once set up, you can locate your tracking tile on a map from your phone's app, ring your tracking tile from your phone, or even ring your phone from your tracking tile. SO cool!!

Others can purchase through my Amazon affiliate link: a trackeroo ($7 - 15) and tracking device ($20).
