"Still, if you're looking for an AirTag case that you can place in a suitcase or backpack and not have to touch for years, this could be the ticket. Elevation Lab says that, when you place a couple of AA batteries in the case, it can extend the tracker's battery life to as much as 10 years (the brand recommends using Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries for best results). The AirTag is slated to run for over a year on its standard CR2032 button cell."
"The case gives the AirTag more protection as well. It's sealed with four screws and it has a IP69 waterproof rating. What's more, it doesn't ostensibly look like an AirTag case, so someone who steals an item with one inside is perhaps less likely to realize that the object they pilfered is being tracked. There are some other downsides, though. Since the AirTag is locked inside a case, the sound it emits will be muffled. Elevation Lab says the device's volume will be about two-thirds the level of a case-free AirTag."
Both generations of the AirTag fit inside Elevation Lab's extended battery case. The case accepts a pair of AA batteries and can extend the tracker's battery life to as much as ten years; Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries are recommended. The case is bulky and lacks a keyring hole, making it unsuitable for keys or wallets but useful for suitcases and backpacks. The enclosure is sealed with four screws, carries an IP69 waterproof rating, and disguises the AirTag's appearance. The AirTag's sound is muffled when enclosed, reducing volume to about two-thirds of a case-free unit. The case is on sale for $16 (normally $23).
