Review on πŸ” Tile Mate (2018) - Single Unit - No Longer Produced by Manufacturer by Badazz Webb

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The tile saved my bankroll, my luggage and my sanity.

I move very fast, multitask all the time, travel the world for work and at the worst moment of multitasking I sometimes lose sight of one thing – my phone, my wallet, luckily not mine (yet). Backpack. Baggage. yes, sometimes I had to search my luggage with tiles! There were two specific instances where these tiles "saved me". First I bought clothes, left the store without buying anything, got in the car, I had no wallet. Panic. I was able to check the phone app and it showed me the last time my phone spoke to Tile - in my wallet - and that was in a clothing store fitting room! I ran back and luckily he was still there. She must have slipped out during her shift. The second time the tile "saved" me in Paris Charles de Gaulle. My luggage was delivered to the wrong arrival halls which are separated by glass. After waiting 4 hours and getting out because your luggage didn't arrive, you can go through other baggage claim areas and of course my tiles ran out! Found! I looked through the glass and saw my luggage against the back wall. It was taken to the wrong baggage hall! If you've arrived at night and found your luggage is missing, haven't slept and waited another 4 hours, there's no better feeling than to get your luggage and move on. (I actually had to knock on glass, show my passport, take a special route to get in. It was worth it!) My luggage was often the last to arrive. or late. Setting my tile as lost allows me to relax and warn me when it's around. This relieves you of the stress associated with carefully monitoring baggage claim. I started small with just a few tiles. Now I have several. I was crazy for a while but I rebounded. A backpack, a wallet, a luggage and my three main harbingers of Tile, and sometimes a travel backpack or other "hot item" that I can carry around and take care of more than usual. I never had a single failure before the battery had to die. That leaves me with one final thought: there are other people on the Tile network who can "help" you find things if they happen to get by your lost Tile early. They do. This is a valuable part of the device - the size of the network. I don't know how big/small it is compared to the others but I'm guessing it's bigger. Does somebody know? Very satisfied customer of the tiles. Absolutely, happy to recommend.

Pros
  • Quality construction
