There’s no denying how useful traveling with a Bluetooth tracker can be — particularly when using one to keep extra tabs on your luggage, personal bags, and other important gear. While the popular Apple AirTags, Tile Mates, and Samsung Galaxy SmartTags do an excellent job at monitoring your suitcase’s location, they can be quite bulky if you want to use them to track smaller items like your wallet or passport, for example. 

Thankfully, there’s a solution with the Tile Slim Bluetooth Tracker. Like the original Tile Mate tag, the Tile Slim alerts you when your belongings have fallen out of its 250-foot Bluetooth range — only it comes in a sleek, thin rectangular shape that can easily slide into your wallet, passport cover, luggage tag, and other essential travel items.

To buy: amazon.com, $25 (originally $35) 

The 7 Best Luggage Trackers of 2023

When your Tile Slim is out of range, the brand’s secure GPS network reports its most recent location in the app to get a better sense of where you lost it (Tile Premium Plan subscribers will get a notification when they leave something behind, and can be reimbursed if they can’t find their Tile Slim). Another perk: you can also use the Tile Slim to make your smartphone ring if you’ve lost it. Once they’re synced up, just double tap the button to trigger your ringtone — and yes, it will ring even if your phone is on silent mode. Plus, you don’t have to worry about charging the Tile Slim’s battery or replacing it; it’s equipped with a non-replaceable battery that lasts up to three years, according to the brand. 

Chiming in, a traveler wrote, “It tracked my luggage when I traveled and showed it was on the plane and showed when my luggage was on the belt.” After calling it a “lifesaver,” one customer commented, “This has been a great purchase.” And, another shopper said that they “don’t lose anything anymore” after getting the Tile Slim. 

Further singing its praises, another reviewer highlighted that the Tile Slim is “more than worth it if you lose your item even once,” and recalled how it helped them recover a lost wallet: “I was losing my mind searching for it everywhere until I remembered I had Tile. I started ringing it and, even then, it took me a few minutes to pinpoint the exact location.” Concluding their review, they said, “But with the help of Tile, it was back in my hands quickly! If not for this thing I truly believe I might never have found it.” 

At the time of publishing, the price was $25.
