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.
A file, a stile, a crocodile. A lady’s fleeting smile.
Me, I would attach it to my ring pull so I can always find it to open a bottle of Singletrack.
For tracking my commuting bike, so I can find it back if it gets stolen.
my s**t*, always losing it
*not really generally pretty calm
I’d attach it to my beer to find out who keeps drinking it. It can’t just be me, can it?
My mate Baz always goes on about the time he lost his virginity to Sheila, a trolley dolly on a transatlantic Concorde flight to New York. I’ve always said he’s a lying wee b*****d. If only we had one of these back then we’d know exactly where he’d put it.
I’d attach a tile to our cat – that way, the. Wife would be able to see where the little bigger is and I wouldn’t have to stand out in the rain shouting for him at all hours.
I would attach it to Michael Stipe’s religion.
I would put it on my cash. I haven’t been able to find it since having children!
I would attach it to my patience
I’d attach it to my boss so that i’d know when to look busy!
My youth, I keep losing it on a daily basis.
To my Audi… so I could find my way back to it on my Orange Five after a day out shredding the gnar at Surrey hills.
I would attach it to myself in the vain hope that it would help me when I get lost exploring exciting new trails.
I would attach a tile to my cat. That way I could keep track of which neighbours house he has broken into lately.
I’d put mine in my wallet, then take it out and lose it just before I was going to show it to some people…
….because i’m 49 and I have never, ever, ever won anything in any competition ever, just once it would be great to get something for free….
I think I need a bucketful to attach to everything my daughter owns!
The mother in law, I’d know when to run out the back n bugger off on my bike out the way
I’d give it to my mates who are out on a night on the tiles. That way it would be easy to find them as they never answer their phones once in a pub!
