Amazon Prime Day 2022 arrives Tuesday, but there's no need to wait for the mega-sales event to shop good prices on Apple AirTags and accessories. We found deals you can get right now on Amazon on Apple AirTags and Apple AirTag holders.
Top products in this article:

Caseology Vault Apple AirTag case (matte black), $12.99 (reduced from $19.99)

Apple AirTags make it easy to keep track of keychains, purses, backpacks and more. The tiny trackers work by sending out a Bluetooth signal that can be anonymously detected by nearby devices. Then, even if your own phone isn't handy, you can locate these trackers on an Apple "Find My" map. If your iPhone is handy, then it can lead you straight to the AirTag via the phone's "Precision Finding" feature (found on the Apple iPhone 11 and newer models).
Apple AirTags are water-resistant, and designed to last for up to one year on a standard, replaceable battery. The Apple list price on a single AirTag is $29, while a four-pack goes for $99. But smart shoppers (like us!) know that Amazon typically beats Apple's own prices, even on the latest Apple tech, like Apple AirTags.
Once you've added Apple AirTags to your Amazon cart, check out the best Apple AirTag holder deals on Amazon ahead of Amazon Prime Day. AirTag holders help guard against losing your tiny trackers.
