Tile Mate (2020)

Product Information

The Tile Ultra will have the same shape as the Tile Pro (2021) but will take on a fancier design that includes a stainless steel key holder. Since Tile last updated its line of key, wallet and purse finders, there's been a lot of upheaval in the tracking business. It’s also got an IP67 water resistance rating which means the Tile mate is entirely protected against dust, and will survive being dunked into one metre of water for up to 30 minutes.

The three-year battery sounds great on the Tile Mate, but it comes with a catch — you can no longer replace your battery.Of course, that was the case for all the key finders I tested there, which says more about the vagaries of Bluetooth connectivity than it does the Tile Mate. It can be placed on your keyring, in a bag or in a pocket, and you’ll feel perfectly at ease tossing it around. Sidewalk is still limited to US-based users, too, so everyone else is reliant on nearby people to own Tile trackers.

That's also what you'll pay now for the Tile Slim (2021), Tile's credit card-sized tracker meant to slip into a wallet or billfold.

That said, if you’re all-in on either operating system, you may find that the first-party trackers pair best with your devices. The Tile Pro and Tile Mate both featured replaceable batteries, but that's changing with the 2021 models. But those compromises are made up for by a louder speaker, greater Bluetooth range, and a battery that can be replaced when it runs dry. We left the Tile Sticker in a local park and by the time we got home, we'd had a notification saying it had been detected by another Tile user.
