Review on πŸ“± elago R5 Locator Case with Lanyard for 2021 Apple TV Siri Remote and Apple AirTag - Shock Absorption, Drop Protection, Full Access to All Functions [Stone] by Jordan Weakland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best AirTag case for the new Apple TV remote

I love this remote. I tried the previous one on Revain and the biggest issue was the placement of the airtag with the speaker facing in, causing a very muffled ping. This remote gets it right and places the Airtag so it's facing outward. The back area is covered with a thin layer of rubber material. When you ping the Airtag, it's not as loud as the outside of the case, but loud enough to hear when you're around. Nothing beats the quiet sound of other AirTag cases. I was also concerned about the thickness of the case, but when I received it it's shaped in such a way that it really doesn't feel that big in your hands. The build quality is excellent, the only thing is the place where the band connects is flimsy and I can see it breaking if someone uses it a lot. We don't, so I don't see that as a problem. Pros: - Build quality - Great design - AirTag speakers facing outwards - Minimal impact on Airtag volume - IR sensor has a large opening on the front - Bottom also has space for charging cables - Price Cons: - I wouldn't mind if the back has been cut to show the Airtag, especially if you have engraved it - The lanyard connector is flimsy and can break with heavy use.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Big and chunky
