Satechi Adds Apple ‘Find My’ to its Glasses Case so you Never Lose your Spectacles Again

Here’s why I think Satechi‘s latest product is genius. An object tracker or a tracking device is fundamentally just a tech accessory designed to be used WITH something. An AirTag is useless on its own, but attach it to your keys, your backpack, your wallet, or your car and suddenly it becomes useful. So, rather than attaching a separate device to your belongings to let you track them, Satechi just decided to make your daily objects trackable.

Released alongside other trackable products like a keychain, a luggage tag, and a wallet card, this spectacle case absolutely caught my eye because, as a person who wears spectacles, it just makes incredible sense. Imagine putting your glasses in a case and then misplacing the entire thing. Now you’ve not only misplaced your glasses, you’re also effectively blind, making finding those glasses even more difficult. However, if you’ve got your phone handy, you can just use Find My to track your spectacles case. Tech overkill? Probably… but I will always side with tech that solves actual problems rather than tech that’s looking for a problem to solve.

Designer: Satechi

The case is called the FindAll™ Glasses Case, and it comes with a collapsible design made from vegan leather. It sits flat when not in use (making it great to store and perfect for shipping too), but when you need to stash your spectacles, the case opens up, becoming a prism-shaped container that holds your spectacles, sunglasses, or even XR/AR smart glasses (as long as they aren’t too thick). For the latter, Satechi officially states the case can fit the VITURE Pro XR, XREAL Air 2, and Ray-Ban | Meta Smart Glasses.

The kicker, however, is the fact that the case also houses a tracking chip relying on Apple’s Find My network, so you can effectively track where your glasses are. Even most smart glasses (like the Meta ones) don’t have tracking capabilities, so to put a tracking chip in your glasses case is just a genius move, if you ask me. Lose your glasses? They become visible in the Find My app on Apple devices, and if you’re in their vicinity, you can even trigger an alert sound, and the FindAll glasses case starts chiming loudly, alerting you of its presence. A ‘Left Behind’ notification system even triggers you if you ever leave the cases behind at a coffee shop or at work.

As mentioned before, the FindAll glasses case comes made from vegan leather, and is available in 3 colors – black, sand, and desert rose. Each case packs Bluetooth 5.4 LE for efficient pairing and tracking, and while the internal battery isn’t replaceable, it does support wireless recharging, allowing you to simply place your spectacles case on any wireless charging surface to juice the battery. The $49.99 price tag feels a little steep, but then again, it’s literally the only product in its category. The other alternative is to slip a Chipolo or AirTag into your specs case… but let’s face it. Aside from potentially damaging your spectacles, it just isn’t very elegant if you ask me.
