> **[HeyPocket Protective Bumper by taiguy | Download free STL model | Printables.com](https://www.printables.com/model/1463543-heypocket-protective-bumper)** I went ahead and made a small 1.2mm thick bumper to protect the pocket when setting it and phone on surfaces. I have an ohsnap grip on the back of my phone, so the 1.2mm gap isn’t an issue when attaching for me. If you don’t own a printer and don’t have free access to one through your local library. CraftCloud has vendors that will make and ship them for about $21. Just upload the file, and select FDM TPU. ---

I don’t suppose you’d be willing to create a version of this with an AirTag holder? I’m afraid I’ll lose mine 😅 ---

I don’t use airtags (android user) but I have the license set to non-commercial remix, so anybody else can modify as they see fit. ---

So awesome for you to model this and share it @taiguy. I know you are an Android user, are you at all able to test the attachment strength on an iPhone without a case? ---
