Sometimes I lose my keys with the iHere 3.0 attached... other times I mislace my phone. As long as I have one of them, I can use it to find the other.
Four things I REALLY like about the iHere 3.0: 1) When I'm using it to find my phone, it causes the phone to ring, EVEN IF THE PHONE IS ON SILENT MODE or turned all the way down; 2) Charging light turns from red to green when it's fully charged (mine goes about 3-4 days between charges; 3) It is built to last, but stylish too; 4) Two-way finding (It can find your phone, or your phone can find it).
Three things about it I would change if I could: 1) I'd make it a bit thinner; 2) I'd make the charging port micro-USB rather than the tiny round one since almost everything else I own is micro USB; 3) I wish there was a way to have it find the phone without the app running. Still, the app doesn't seem to drag on my battery, so it's not really an issue from that standpoint... just that if I'd happened to turn off the app, I wouldn't be able to use the device to find the phone.
If you (or the one you are getting this for) are not good about recharging regularly, don't bother (I wouldn't think of getting this for my kids... I'd get them one of the ones that have a replaceable battery). I also have the "Nut 2" tag. But it can't turn make my phone ring if it's on silent like the iHere 3.0 can. Having both is ideal. The nut is thinner and doesn't have to be recharged (just replace the battery each year... which is a standard flat button battery). I keep the iHere on my car keys and charge it in my car on the way work every third day. Then I use the Nut on any other items I might lose. I keep the iHere3 app always running on my phone (but not the Nut app) so I can find my phone. I use iHere to find my phone or car and to take remote selfies. I don't leave the Nut app running, but can turn it on to find devices attached to them as needed.
This thing is awesome. Has saved me more time than I care to admit. I've had it for a couple of months and have charged it twice, not because it died, but because it seemed like a good idea. Besides being great for finding my keys, it beeps when too far from my phone which has made me realize I'd left nearly my phone behind on several occasions and saved me from having to go back and get it later.
Some reviews mentioned "a great idea with poor execution." Maybe those reviewers had an early version of the app? I can only say this this is helpful in the same way the dinger on my car that reminds me to turn off the lights is helpful. No issues. Love it. Wish I'd had it last year when I lost my keys for 5 days. (They were eventually found in my purse. I don't wanna talk about it.)
So if you've got a huge purse, a busy life with lots of distractions, overly helpful people who move your stuff, or early onset Alzheimers, I'd highly recommend this nifty little time saver!
I bought this as a gift for my mom who is always losing her keys. I tested it before giving I to her and it seemed to work pretty well for me. She says she has used it for its purpose a couple of times and she really likes it.
I also own another Bluetooth key finder, the Pebblebee, and I think I actually like the ihere better? I can't get my pebblebee to ring my phone unless the ap is up. Not just open in the background, but up. I've never tried the tile or any of the other cheaper ones, but between the two I haven tried I say give this one a chance. Especially since it's now $25.
I paid $40 just a couple weeks ago but I just got an email from Amazon saying they were refunding me $15 because the price dropped. How awesome is Amazon for doing that.
This is the 2nd backup camera I have purchased. I bought this one for my daughter.
The quality of the image is excellent. The 1st time I used mine it prevented a parking lot accident. My truck has a number of blind spots and the 170 deg. field of view gives you much peace of mind when backing up because you can see what is directly behind you and what is coming. Something mirrors cannot do.
It's easy to install, and easy to remove. (I remove mine before going through a car wash. I know it's very water resistant but high pressure rinses are far more powerful than any rain downpour we get in California).
It's great that it uses your cell phone but that is also it's only disadvantage. It takes about 30 seconds to begin receiving and displaying images so you have to remember to start the process while you are getting in the car, otherwise you are ready to go before the image gets to the screen.
Get the vent clip, it makes mounting the phone really easy and then easily removing it. The clip doesn't interfere with the vents operation when no phone is attached.
Works equally well with iPhone or Android.
So far so good. I just lost a pair of expensive prescription sunglasses which prompted me to try this Ihere. It is not very annoying when you separate the phone and the tag (which in on the eyeglass case). Time will tell, because I was always misplacing the sunglasses.
Well now, The first unit would not hold a charge for more than a few days. I had a new replacement in two days and so far the battery is holding nicely. The replacement also works a little differently so maybe the first had more than battery problems. Still like it. Lat update, the battery is holding fine.
I am on my second replacement Ihere. They have changed the way the Ihere works so that you can turn the separation alarm off. This makes the device very usable. However, now it beeps when ever the phone and sunglasses are separated. Why can't the damn thing just be quiet until you need it.

I bought this a few months ago and it quit taking a charge.....I judge a product by the customer service when things go wrong (and they do) and gave them a five star for helping us with it so quickly and we are back in action. My sister in law uses it because she always loses her keys...so each time, we just ask our phone to tell us where it is. THANKS SO MUCH.
I ordered this for my Niece. It would not hold a charge. I returned it and asked for a new one in a hurry, so that I could get it to my Niece on time for her Birthday. They overnighted it to me, at their expense. It was already charged, meaning they took the time to make sure it was going to work. Talk about great customer service! That was 5 months ago. It works great! My Niece loves it.
I love this thing. It's cute and small, and beeps at me if I forget to take my wallet with me. I bought it because I lost my last wallet and it SUCKED. I aim to never do that again. I like that this is rechargeable. :) The only downside is it did not come with a ring to attach it. I had to purchase some on here (and bought 48!!) Now that it's attached to the outside of my wallet it's a lot easier to hear the beeps when you need to.
Works well with iOS 9 on iPhone 5. iPhone 6 with iOS 9 beta didn't work so well (device would not update - ended up initially connected both to the iPhone 5 for update) but that's more my problem than nonda's. If you tend to hang your keys on a rack when you get home and live in a larger space, the device may think that you're out of range when you're still home. App is clunky - can't track the device when the app isn't running - but effective. App shows GPS coordinates of where keys last were after disconnection.
Very good product, though I still believe there're some chances of improvement. For example, when I charge it, it's light turned to green a few minutes later (I was sure that it had little energy;otherwise, I could use it at once) rather than becoming so after entirely finishing charging. Another potential improvement is that it may as well send disconnection alarm loudly instead of reminding me in the same way(at least the warning tone) as other Bluetooth devices loss connection--the alarm is really hard to make me alert.
