Motorola Mobility just announced the availability of the Keylink, a Bluetooth-powered fob that helps you find your misplaced keys or smartphone.
Compatible with devices running iOS 7.1 or higher, this $25 accessory can ring up your iPhone from up to 100 feet away. If you happen to lose your keys, you can also use the Motorola Connect app to page the Keylink.
With a reasonable price point, this compact device might be worth picking up, especially if you’re the forgetful type.
Of course iPhone users with iCloud enabled have access to Find My iPhone which allows you to ‘ding’ your missing phone from another device, but Motorola’s Keylink will come in handy if you’re caught without your phone or another device.

So, will this fob ring the phone even if your iPhone has the ringer quieted/set to vibrate?
What if I misplace the keylink?
There is a Kickstarter project which is similar, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/delmarth/stonetether-the-smallest-tracking-device-at-long-r?ref=nav_search.
There are iPhone cases that do all kinds of things, make the phone waterproof, carry credit cards and cash, charge the battery, make the phone louder and I’ve even seen one with a built in stun gun. What we need is a difficult to remove case with a very loud alarm. 20 feet from your watch or key fob and all hell breaks loose. Have it be self powered with a few CR 2032s and a very hard to find or use off switch. I’d buy one in a New York nanosecond.
Looks like Motorola found a way to get back in the mobile market. Making keychains for iPhones because theirs don’t sell (unless you’re a retard names herb)
