Are you plagued with butter fingers? Clumsy digits? Do you find that those really important things like your keys, mobile phone and tamagotchi have a regular habit of disappearing from your clutches?
We all know what it’s like to put that highly important thing down for just one minute, only to find that it has mysteriously vanished. The universe sure works in mysterious ways, so who are we to argue when a strange and powerful force makes the decision to relocate our possessions? Ok, so it was probably our fault that it’s gone missing, but that won’t stop us from getting all huffed up and blaming any other person within huffing distance.
In order to help avoid those moments of frustration, some clever tech boffins have got a solution in the form of the clever little Tile.
You may have heard of the Tile before. Tile is a super simple piece of tech that will stop you from ever losing anything ever again. Well, except your marbles, they haven’t worked that one out yet… The device consists of a physical “Tile”, and an application for your smartphone (Android and iOS only) which keeps tabs on the Tile’s location via Bluetooth connectivity and a clever community tracking feature.
The Tile range currently consists of the Tile Slim, which is super thin (slimmer than an After Eight, but not quite as tasty) for use in wallets and other tight spots. And then there’s the Tile Mate, which is smaller and doubles up as a keyring. Both versions of the Tile are super versatile and can be used to track drones, pets, or even your bike!
To celebrate the launch of the Singletrack Partner Zone this week, Tile has sent over a landslide’s worth of Tiles (forty of them in total), which we will be giving away entirely free to our subscribers. If you would like to be in for a chance of getting your very own Tile simply complete the steps below:
- First of all, if you’re not already a subscriber sign up here
- Once logged in, head to the comments section at the bottom of this post and tell us exactly what you would use your Tile to track (be sensible or silly, it’s all good)
- We will choose the best forty comments on Tuesday the 8th November and will send out either a Tile Slim or Tile Mate for FREE
- When you receive your Tile we then ask you to share a photo of it in use on Instagram with the tags @Singletrackmag and @tiledit
And BOOM! That’s it!
Before entering the competition, please keep in mind that we will be sharing your email address with Tile and they may contact you regarding your user experience and ask for feedback.
You can learn more about Tile in their showcase in the Singletrack Partner Zone.
Can it also be attached to a emotion/state of mind?
Sure would be handy if I could use it to locate my inner gallusness, its always there when I’m watching edits….
I’d attach them to my balls, so I can find them before picking up the courage to go off a drop.
Oops, should have read all comments first.
haha you said it better mate
My mobile phone..
Oh.
Lol
Should have read the thread.
I’d like to attach mine to Europe so someday I could maybe find my way back to it.
I’m an avid geocacher so think you could have great fun playing hide and seek with this. I’ve got an unopened multitool and would attach a Tile to it. I’d hide it in in the world with a note and use the “notify me when found” function to get the Tile community to play hide and seek. First to find gets the multitool! might be a great PR opportunity too(l)?
Go back in time and attach it to my youth….
I’d attach it to my sense of humour.
Ever seen me when I’ve lost my sense of humour? Not nice…
the TV remote that my children keep hiding
I’d attach it to my will to live to get me though the week until my next bike ride.
I would trial it on my keys to test it. If it as good as it seems then probably buy the four pack as I misplace anything portable on a frustratingly regular basis.
I went for honest rather than funny.
I would attach it to the biscuits in our house to see who eats them
…my marbles, well, the last one I have anyway.
I would attach it to the sun as it keeps disappearing at the moment.
My son has started secondary school and so far has lost;
school blazer
shirt
school shoes
hand-me-down iPhone
trousers
food card
replacement blazer
Nokia brick (replacement for iPhone)
bag
socks
All have been found eventually but only after scouring local parks, lost property bins and playing fields. Please help end the pain..
One year into being a Dad, I’m amazed at the challenges faced keeping track of young kids, this would be one less thing I needed to use my brain to remember….
I’d attach it to my car keys. The wife and I share one car, and it’s always going missing right about the time I’m ready to head out the door to drive* to the trailhead!
*Trailhead is 50min away riding through the middle of the city.
I’d attach one to the soap, so that I can give a practical answer to any awkward questions I might be asked if I ever come across two nuns in the bath (matron).
