An intriguing concept from ElevationLab: a beautiful hack of an AirTag case that gives you an estimated 10 years between battery changes! My review at Macworld: https://www.macworld.com/article/2565766/elevation-lab-timecapsule-10-year-battery-case-review-everlasting-airtag-life.html

I picture this as generally useful for purposes in which a little more weight is better than a dead battery. But, also, I can imagine vehicles or equipment in which it might take 30+ minutes to disassemble to a location where you could place this case, making it impossible to disable AirTag tracking on something expensive.

@rameshgupta Adds a lot of cost for something designed to be hidden.

@kg That’s an invitation to using it for stalking, unfortunately.
