I mailed an AirTag and tracked its progress

Heck, I'd love a less bulky AirTag attachment for humans as well. My AirTag key ring is by far the biggest thing on my keychain (even bigger than my car keys), and it's so stiff that it often gets caught on other things on my pocket when I'm pulling my keys out. That never used to happen before.

This is probably the one aspect where Tile has been superior (for my use case). I never noticed the bulk of the Tile tracker on my keyring.

I'm keeping an eye out for less bulky attachments online. Everything I've seen so far emulates Apple's bulky keyring design.

Looks like Airtag [1] is 31.9⌀x8 (6,393.8 mm3). the Tile Mate with removable battery is 35x35x6.2 (7,595 mm3) and Tile Sticker is 27⌀x7.3 (4,179.6 mm3). do you stick it to your keyring or use the larger Mate with hole on the keyring?

I had the same problem, changing the 'keyring' bit to a smaller one I had laying around helped a lot but it is still bulky.
