The Pebblebee Card 5 is for travelers who want the tracker out of sight. At 2.12 x 3.35 inches and 1.74 mm thick, it slides into a passport holder, laptop sleeve or the zip pocket inside a suitcase lining, where it is less obvious than a tag hanging from the handle. It pairs with Apple Find My or Google Find Hub, so either phone works. Pebblebee rates a wireless charge at up to 18 months, which means one top-up covers many trips, but you need your own Qi-style charger since none is included. It is IP68 rated, weighs 15 g and includes LEDs, a loud buzzer and a double-press phone finder, with Bluetooth range up to 500 ft. The tradeoff with any card is sound: buried in a packed bag, it is harder to hear than a tag on the outside. At $39.99 it costs more than the coin-cell options, and it carries a 2-year limited warranty.
