I have this, and it sucks balls.
Range? Probably decent.
Decibels? No idea, but passable for finding your keys in a quiet environment. It's not an alarm.
Waterproof? Probably not.
The worst thing about this is that the battery life lasts around a week or two--I'm not sure. I doubt anyone knows who didn't perform some sort of scientific test and checked daily if it was still reporting its position. The device doesn't report its battery level on the device itself, or in the Tile app. There's no low battery warning or indicator. It just goes from working to not working one day. The only way this thing is useful is if you're disciplined enough to plug it in to charge weekly.
I'm not trying to crap on KeySmart. I've bought basically every incarnation of their products up to and including this. From the regular KeySmart, to the extended one, to extra spacers and extensions to hold more keys, etc. But they really dropped the f'ing ball on this one. A regular tile uses a CR2032 and lasts a year. This thing uses a rechargeable battery and doesn't last 1/10th that, with absolutely no warning of when it needs to be recharged. How they're still peddling this shit boggles my mind. Stay away!

That's the trade-off for having a rechargeable battery - it has a much lower capacity than disposable batteries. I just plug mine in next to my phone and headphones before I go to bed. Just another small part of my daily routine.

Tigole1) It is easy to check. If the light doesn't come on its time to charge. Easy.
2) Don't worry about having it charged 100% of the time. I have a tile in my wallet, one in my back pack and one for a checked bag. I charge the keys and test each tile before a long trip. Takes 1 minute of my time and my key chain becomes a tracker for my Scottie vest or Columbia water tight II rain shell so I end up with my wallet, jacket, keys, and bags all lo jacked when traveling. I don't use Any thing but the wallet tracker the rest of the time and don't daily charge my keys to make the battery last longer.
My favorite part of it isn't even the tracker...its the little magnet system that lets me hotswap between my 3 car keys or just grab a keyfab and leave the house keys at home (electronic combo locks on front and rear doors at home and if those die I can get the garage open with cell phone so all I REALLY need is a car key).
A few other points. I loaded mine with a jump drive and always install a back up ppt of what ever class im teaching that week incase TSA breaks my laptop. I also keep a bottle opener on it as its the only TSA carry on item I can use to open those 20 card board boxes every where I go....although I some times check a travelpro rolling garment bag with my suits and just toss a cheap flea market variety knife inside there.

sxm078100It connects to your phone via bluetooth. Its doesn't use GPS at all.
If you lose your keys it can tell you the last time your phone and keys were connected but doesn't tell you if you want away from your keys.
It's not very helpful for finding your phone using the Tile. The app has to be open on your phone for the 2 to connect. Most phones will auto close the app all the time to save battery so that makes that part of the Tile useless.
It is very helpful as using the app to find your phone. My battery does last the 1-2 months like it's supposed to. Whenever I can't find my keys I can activate my app and my keys will ring. If they aren't connected my phone will actively connect to my keys and then ring. If I lose my keys and someone else with Tile finds my keys, their tile will talk to my Tile and tell me where my keys are.
Overall it is a pretty useful product. Good at helping you find your keys with your phone, less useful finding your phone with your keys.

dragonslayer69About having to have the Tile app open to find it: no offense meant, but what you're saying just isn't the case. The app runs a service in the background to listen for requests from the Tile to find your phone and then sounds off the alarm. The full app doesn't need to be open or in the background for that to happen.
This is true for iPhones and all but the lowest-spec'd Android phones, which might struggle to keep multiple services and apps running in the background.

I bought it the last time, so far i find the flashlight the most useful part of the item, it doesn't really fit 12 key's either, it only really fits 6 well enough for me to be able to fold into each other properly and not get them caught up on each other constantly. I think it is very overpriced for the tech thats inside and i.m.o. it takes too long before the bluetooth can actually locate my keys. If i am on the third floor of my house it can take up to 5 minutes for it to connect to they keys downstairs. Big disappointment to me.... not to mention the crap and extra costs i had to have it shipped and imported in the EU...

I understand why people will put a tracker on their keychain -- and in a day and age where most people are content to let their cell phone and tablet apps track their movements daily, adding a Tile system on top of that probably doesn't seem like a big deal to a lot of folks, but if you have any personal security concerns it ends up being a really bad move.
Most companies that do this sort of tracking -- you're the product, not the customer. There are rules that they have to follow to anonymize data, to protect you, and they will tout them all day long. If they have a record of where your cell phone connected from on a map throughout the course of the day, the thinking goes, that data has to be anonymized. You can't be identified as John Smith of 123 Hometown Road, you'll have some alphanumeric identifier, and that way they say, people can research on how to improve services, without invading your privacy, right?
Well, the PROBLEM is that when your phone maintains anonymized data on your movements, and your Tile setups maintain anonymized data, and your car GPS maintains anonymized data, and your tablet and laptop and anything you have locations services enabled on , are maintaining anonymized data, people who have research access to more than one of these streams can start tracking data from two or more of these sources and overlay them on one another to look for similarities.
It's kind of like the old two-variable algebra problems, where you can only solve them if you have two or more equations to work with like x + 3y = 17 and 3x - y = 31.
Long story short, if a company that's accessing this information and building profiles on users sees an anonymous GPS and an anonymous cell phone record and an anonymous Tile record and when they lay them on a map they all overlay one another, you can easily see who is who. You might not have been able to tell who was using cell phone A, but by the time you've found their GPS and seen that both location trackers match up and that they go to Bank B's ATM, Restaurant C for lunch, Grocery Store D and Liquor Store E on the way home, if you have access to those systems the chances are good that hitting up those systems and comparing anything you can pull from them will let you triangulate upon the name, sex, address, occupation and all manner of other facts about them. The one that ends up being the goldmine are the little 'rewards' cards that most grocery stores want you to use when you shop with them. Y'all would be flat out astonished at what you can discover about a person by studying what they buy at a grocery store.
Indeed if you don't practice information hygiene ( and if you don't know what it is, you don't practice it) most trackers working with anonymized data sources probably already have a file with your name on it. And they know things about you that you wouldn't be happy to know about. No one's going to go look you up if you're buying a pack of gum, but if they want to sell you a $30k car or a $250k home, buying a file on you and getting into your head might pay off, and a political operative looking to shore up support for their candidate will know what they can say that you're likely to resonate with, so campaigns keep as deep of files as the law allows them.
Food for thought. All I know is if I do one of these, it won't have a tracker in it.

Old fashioned keys are on their way out. Pretty soon almost everything that needs to be locked up will use a keypad, powered by electricity with a battery backup or just batteries.

Use a regular Tile Pro (extended range, lasts for a year on a CR2032); with a coupon/sale you can get a set (2) for under $40, attached to a classic aluminum Keysmart or “key-management system” (ugh) of your choice or just plain old keychain. More versatile, better construction of individual components.
