You sure "secured" isn't doing some heavy lifting here and it didn't just float away? In the future throw one of these in there - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1LH7ZCT. I put them in all my cars hidden away. Hope you find it; this sucks.
If you are not concerned with the size of the AirTag, get this case and long-term AA batteries. https://a.co/d/5g88yGE
If size isn't an issue, I bough a 4-pack of these AirTag cases. It uses 2 AA batteries in a waterproof case. AirTags will power for 10 years with this setup. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1LH7ZCT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
Thanks for the info! $40 for a 4-pack sounds much better than what I'm seeing on Amazon. The listing I found (see:https://www.amazon.com/Elevation-Lab-TimeCapsule-10-Year-Battery/dp/B0D1LH7ZCT) is $44.99 before tax, which comes out closer to $50 for me with the tax. Could you share a link to the 4-pack you mentioned? I'm still a bit hesitant to buy a 4-pack without trying one first, mainly due to concerns about Bluetooth range and how the case might affect the AirTag's sound. Have you noticed any impact on either of those?
