AirTag Wallet: BUY or DIY

[@teamgartz-motorsports6881]

“I won, that’s my channel” I loved it! Haha 😂 and in my opinion you did, also because it is your comment section. Haha 😛

[@NINE9XX]

Just bought a ridge wallet, it came in yesterday and within 24 hours did this mod and am loving it! Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@Mu3azOsman]

DIY all the way!

[@kinglenn]

I wish you made wallets like for sale I’d 100% buy it

[@Winston-1984]

DIY for sure, I like that most of the airtag is internal & doesn't bulge out so much.

[@tunahancakmakci]

DIY one seems way more sleek and also useful.

[@RVDL]

the DIY definitely wins. @Ridge Wallet take notes, the next version should be like Iphonedo's.

[@Naviss]

Very clean solution. As a Ridge Wallet owner, I've been wanting a find my / air tag option since they came out. Not a fan of Ridges option though. I like it flat and clean for the look. Ridge seemed to just rushed a design.

[@rubenramos6797]

apple probably wants some of the revenue…

[@PrivateInfo-c9q]

I have had my Ridge wallet for the last four years and love it, still holding up well. I recently lost my wallet on vacation, and luckily received it back from a kind individual who turned it in. Unfortunately, the Apple Airtag solution from Ridge sucks, and I think this is awesome. Thanks for doing this video!

[@joshs3916]

@user-il6ei7mh5o Glad you got your wallet back, which model did you go with. Just recently received my Damascus ridge with free CF AirTag clip. How has it held up?

[@MetroTech101]

These days, people know how to talk, but only a few know how to DIY. Thank you for your vid, I really enjoyed watching your DIY project. I like it..

[@ShootStraight84]

for sure , yours is better, good idea man, it should post where top buy the back plate so we can do it too

[@Mcluvin101010]

@iphonedo what size hole drills did you use for to drill on each piece of the wallet?

[@JosephDawson]

I would like to see how both work for AirTag range. If the ridge solution is Carbon it will block signal.

[@demon39063]

this is exactly what I've been looking for. I don't understand how this isn't painfully obvious to wallet manufacturers like Ridge. Who wants to add 1 cm of bulk thickness to their minimalist wallet? there is plenty of room in the thickness of the sides, as you demonstrate here. so silly

[@markharrison7468]

your solution is definitely better, I was looking for a way to put a airtag in a wallet that I have had for years, but after seeing this, I think i will buy a ridge and convert it like you have

[@julianlarrauri5725]

This is actually amazing!! Your DIY is 100% better then their option. Never thought I’d consider punching a hole in my 100$ wallet. Lol Now if only there was a mod that made Ridge Wallets MagSafe compatible?? 🤔🤔🤔

[@BrianNomar]

DIY'it! buy a magsafe case and move the magnets to the inside of the wallet!

[@srtchapo1371]

What size hole saws did you use?

[@ShootStraight84]

Definitely should’ve mentioned that

[@Ghost42o415]

DJ khaled “all I do is win win win” fo sho Thanks for the idea lad.

[@maheAT]

Can you provide more pics of your DIY? It's a great idea!

[@HeHeHaHa146]

I have had a Ridge Carbon Fiber Wallet for a while now and for a few years I had a Tile Mate stuck to one side (which is about the same width) with super strong double sided tape and a Dbrand skin on top so it matched

[@W.i.l.l._Nguyen]

I live in Japan, wallets are a must here with the amounts of cash people normally carry. I have a Bellroy Travel wallet when I need my passport to be there. But on a day to day basis, I carry a Secrid wallet + a separate coin leather wallet from Rudsak (from my hometown of Montreal, Canada). I really want to find a way to get the airtag in my secrid, maybe if someday I can get the Chipolo card.

[@armaan97]

Awesome work! However, it's only a matter of time before Ridge copies your idea and begins manufacturing their wallets with the same void.

[@nurse.reef.repeatandsomuch1758]

A great idea sir!! Thinking of doing this to my Aviator wallet. What size of hole saw did you use?

[@LaithGraham]

I’ve had the same “As Seen On TV” card holder and money clip for over 15 years. I’ve almost changed to another like Ridge a few times. But mine is so simple and I don’t have to fiddle with screws or straps. But I am thinking of drilling a hole somewhere and adding an AirTag on a key ring.

[@joshs3916]

Which brand?

[@LaithGraham]

@@joshs3916 “As Seen On TV” is the brand. It might now be call the “Slim Clip”.

[@LaithGraham]

@@joshs3916 I just looked it up. They’re now $5US.

[@joshs3916]

@@LaithGraham Thanks for the info 😃

[@jgwoody1]

what diameter hole saw did you use?

[@CJ-vs5mj]

If Apple had an AirTag in the shape of a credit card which I’m sure they’re capable of producing. We wouldn’t need this. It is very cool though

[@soonami5]

Awesome DIY! My question is did could you list the parts that you bought from Ridge? The DIY lqqks so S3XY!

[@mehmetc1365]

Great job! I am wondering what if you disassembled the AirTag? so maybe you could hide inside the wallet without doing many handcrafts?

[@turankilic]

Since those wallets are RFID blockers probably it wouldn't work.

[@lnn3542]

I'm looking for an American to help take a video of the unboxing, it's a wallet with an airtag slot, are you interested?

[@ToddEPatterson-TLP]

Tom, I still have my Original before it was Branded, close to 10 years old, I going your way 100%

[@ElMandelorian]

Will it still work if you plasti dip the air tag??? ive seen people recreate carbon fiber with plasti dip

[@liljoe8282]

I think if they would or made the air tag as part of the money clip or part or the band then it would of been a better design and cleaner

[@joshs3916]

Just came across your channel. Great reviews. Love that you are modifying The Ridge, you don’t see it that often.

[@VaughnJogVlog]

That AirTag puff is ridiculous on a “minimalist” wallet.

[@ebikeepic7698]

whats that plate you used under the panel, I have the 18k gold wallet and I want to do the DIY!

[@ebikeepic7698]

Ordered the drill bits there not the same brand but there Saw Kit 11 PCS, 3/4" - 2-1/2. can you respond really want to get this done. It would look so amazing on the gold version

[@ADVRaven]

Loved this video. I use a Ridge Ti, and it has been my number 1 goto for the last few years. I dont have an airtag attached or anything, but saw the add from Ridge a few days ago. Glad to see it on a wallet. Thanks again, and keep the quality videos coming!

[@cam4991]

I would buy a wallet like that! I love the small wallets but still want to put an airtag in them

[@NamelessStrang3r]

Is there any chance you could test if RFID is useless now? I would love to do something similar but want to keep RFID.

[@EzraJames]

my thoughts exactly.

[@lnn3542]

I'm looking for an American to help take a video of the unboxing, it's a wallet with an airtag slot, are you interested?

[@bryantuttle8]

I have a question - Does this mod cause the AirTag to lose or inhibit functionality - Meaning, it no longer has the same range or distance or just no longer works as the tag is blocked by the metal

[@moisescugat3948]

The picks sokd it to me!!! Kudos for you!!

[@opalthebest]

Is it possible to install the ridge air tag holder on the other side same face.. by the slot where you push the cards out

[@CimarronLeatherStudio]

Excellent idea. My ridge wall says titanium. Don’t know if I can drill into it. this is a way better solution. Maybe it’s not really titanium they just market it that way then I can drill it.

[@ShootStraight84]

This Wallet is very thick as is , the plastic plates are as thick as 3 cards and there are 2 plates and you added a third one , I get the idea but just makes it thicker

[@sahingoksu]

Left one, diy ofc

[@janivauhkonen]

before there was a wallet that was really slow to use, then the cards were just in the jacket pocket which speeded things up and nowadays the cards are just in case when i pay for everything using a mobile phone.

[@clintonherring]

putting a hole in the wallet doesn't ruin rfid blocking. You just need an aluminium (yes I speak english) sheet to block rfid.

[@cactustweeter2890]

Very ingenius.

[@BrandonLuckain]

I have a ridge wallet and this idea ( yours) is genius! Anyway you can make another 😁

[@hamzaarslan8245]

DIY is lifestyle for us

[@derekr18]

Wow ! I was gonna ask can you drill my ridge wallet lol.

[@Murhamdilah]

I'll just get a folio case for smartphone. You get case and wallet in one and trackable as well with phone.

[@luis-nx2xd]

Y does he sound like gru

[@MrFurryface]

I like your design! so much better indeed :)

[@edinko8973]

They can make molded outside cover to embrace tag! And avoid that hidious ad-on peace!

[@rydmerlin]

Does that compromise the RFID protection?

[@Sachz]

haha yours is way better. i just got a Ridge for X-mas. now I want your DYI.

[@gabegonza]

Can you link that aluminum spacer you used?

[@MrFido7up]

They should make this, I won't buy ridge wallet till they make it like your diy

[@hometv7699]

Definitely DIY!

[@RickyBobbyYT]

Instead I ordered a chipolo one card spot. It’s a card shaped AirTag. No having to modify your wallet.

[@Catchgate]

DIY is looking awesome btw

[@vincenzoloventre2050]

Check out the chipolo card, works flawless

[@Alex_1652]

i guess depends on the pocket, i might prefer the bulge one.

[@agent_ethan]

Bro when you cut carbon fiber never, ever do it at home and always use as mask. That thing is very dangerous for your health

[@ntnwwnet]

Came here to say this too! Def need a respirator when cutting carbon fiber.

[@agent_ethan]

@@ntnwwnet Yeah, and under water also helps to stop spreading the tiny particles. He should give a warning to all people about this.

[@beko7666]

Is that wallet available for purchases?

[@03cobrah]

I like the customization videos

[@hurpaderpp]

everyone puts the airtags wrong. its supposed to be white side out. I tested both with a db meter and white out is louder

[@IEA_455]

Apple needs to make a new AirTag that’s thinner and flat square sides

[@cyborwhat]

Yours definitely looks better.

[@tobisonbrown]

Yeah yours is way better. My MagSafe wallet does the little I need a wallet to do.

[@nicholassum4969]

why did you have to drill a hole for the cavity tray as well?

[@hurpaderpp]

so you need a whole new wallet when you have to replace the battery lol what a design

[@TheGrumpyGinger]

I like it DIY way better. But you know when they update the AirTag, it will have different dimensions. So in the long run, probably have to buy a new wallet and do it all over again. Just my opinion

[@Tech_Monster54]

Anyone hear me?Iphone 13 review?

[@rydmerlin]

I would buy a new top plate if they could provide such a solution.

[@glenf4115]

Free from Costco Hearing aid dept. Ask for a Kirkland/Rexton fabric hearing aid pouch. You're welcome. :)

[@ThierryVernon]

I use an old school portemonnaie, like the real deal. Because I never understood where you guys store your coins. Not sure about coins in the US but in the EU, especially Germany people still use cash a lot and that means coins flipping around.

[@sanjaygurung7623]

What size was hole?

[@86steventura]

Why didn’t they just add it it to the money clip or band???

[@wollm2360]

Where do i get tue cavity thing you cut out i did this and now it wont sit flush when closed

[@TurgayUniverse]

I put my airtag into the wallet's coin part.

[@christianmcmenamy8753]

Does anyone know where you can find the cavity plate?

[@joshs3916]

On their site, they call it the “cavity tray”

[@BenjaminMedlock]

I agree, yours was way better.

[@timolino1675]

Your diy looks definitely better

[@marcussmith4913]

wtf does it do? what is it for? I get what the ridge wallet is but the round thing your putting on? whats the point of having it?

[@ANONYMOUS.THINKER.]

You lost the security feature by putting holes in it... but it works for you 🤷‍♂️

[@evilfluff6634]

I have two wallets one with just my bank card and drivers license and the other fuel card and discounts cards.

[@yelyl136]

Amazing work. Although you could have just used a credit card shaped Tile or Chipolo. Apple Airtags are so overrated. Instead of Apple adjusting and making a credit card shape version of the Airtag, it's the Wallet manufacturers who adjust and make ugly versions of their perfectly good wallets just to accommodate an airtag.

[@trscsaeg]

This is more for when you just can’t find your wallet so you don’t waste 5 hours trying to find it

[@mfatihgur]

You need some diy equipment; 3d printer, laser cutting machine, lathe etc. I believe an engineer living inside you 🙂

[@prismwashere]

On the left

[@mr.bot.6471]

Couldn't you have a card that does this?

[@anthonycristiano]

3M tape drives me crazy about all these accessories. Make a magnet that’s strong enough to have to put a bit of effort to take off but not cause any interference.

[@iPhonedo]

On their website the images don’t show the 3M tape. This is why I was so puzzled when I unboxed it for the first time in front of the cameras.

[@ÜmitKirenci]

Tabii ki DIY 👍 :)

[@BeratGez]

oo Casey beyciğim.. no "commet section pillow" situation makes me sad a bit.
