Elevation Lab, known for its range of accessories for Apple devices, today announced the launch of the TagVault Strap, a new case that's designed for the AirTag.
The TagVault Strap is designed to mount to a backpack or camera strap, and it has been created to prevent the AirTag from being removed. The TagVault Strap is made from a glass-filled composite body, and it uses Swiss machined self-driving screws that go through the strap.
It comes with all the hardware needed, and it features an all-black design that keeps it from grabbing attention. The TagVault Strap is also waterproof, so it keeps the AirTag protected even in less than ideal conditions.

An iPhone 17 announcement is a dead cert for September 2025 – Apple has already sent out invites for an "Awe dropping" event on Tuesday, September 9 at the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California. The timing follows Apple's trend of introducing new iPhone models annually in the fall.
At the event, Apple is expected to unveil its new-generation iPhone 17, an all-new ultra-thin iPhone 17...
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series on Tuesday, September 9, and last-minute rumors about the devices continue to surface.
The latest info comes from a leaker known as Majin Bu, who has shared alleged images of Apple's Clear Case for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, or at least replicas.

Apple and Samsung have reportedly issued cease-and-desist notices to Xiaomi in India for an ad campaign that directly compares the rivals' devices to Xiaomi's products. The two companies have threatened the Chinese vendor with legal action, calling the ads "disparaging."

Apple will launch its new iPhone 17 series this month, and the iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to get a new design for the rear casing and the camera area. But more significant changes to the lineup are not expected until next year, when the iPhone 18 models arrive.
If you're thinking of trading in your iPhone for this year's latest, consider the following features rumored to be coming to...
Apple is preparing to release iOS 18.7 for compatible iPhone models, according to evidence of the update in the MacRumors visitor logs.
We expect iOS 18.7 to be released in September, alongside iOS 26. The update will likely include fixes for security vulnerabilities, but little else.
iOS 18.7 will be one of the final updates ever released for the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR,...
Cool idea, but seems like you could just cut the strap if you stole a backpack. I wonder how much force is needed to pry it free. If only I had a YouTube channel...
AirTag is NOT an anti theft device. Apple intentionally made it so that it will notify the thief if there is an AirTag that is moving with him.
A drill will disable any AirTag, a 1/8 inch hole kills them.
AirTags are only useful if you misplace the item, not if it is intentionally stolen.
Have to say am a bit interested in something like this.
They just announced they were launching it. "today announced the launch of the TagVault Strap"
We're you joking here or did you get one before the launch somehow?
They already sell the same thing as a pet accessory ('https://smile.amazon.com/TagVault-Pet-Waterproof-Ultra-Durable-Collars/dp/B09DQSK52B/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1OBRPYQ99AEWU&keywords=AirTag+holder+pet+collar+screw+on&qid=1662665555&sprefix=airtag+holder+pet+collar+screw+on%2Caps%2C157&sr=8-7'). I tried it and wasn't impressed. The back plastic plate seemed pretty flimsy.
I'm sure there are applications where this looks better, but give me something slimmer. This looks more like it should be attached to a Pelican case or suitcase.
Gotta love how telling the product pix are. Arc'teryx and Patagonia are among, if not the, most expensive brands in outdoors products. Then again, Apple targets a similar spendy demographic as well as adhering to a similar minimalist visual design philosophy.
The true test of whether Elevation Lab is in the same class as [S]Arc'teryx and[/S] Patagonia, though, will be if it has a lifetime, no-questions-asked warranty on its products.
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
