Object trackers are everywhere, following in the footsteps of the AirTag, and better options are constantly emerging. Recently, a new Find Hub from Nomad debuted for Android users, and it's a solid choice for your wallet — in more ways than one — compared to the Pebblebee Card 5 that launched last year.

The Nomad Tracking Card Air for Android Find Hub isn't exactly groundbreaking. The tracker is a credit card-sized device that connects to a network of nearby Android phones to report its location. You can use it to find where your lost wallet might be, or you can attach it to similar items like a passport holder. While an AirTag-style tracker works great for bags and similar items, the card format is even better in many cases.
There are dozens of options out there. Options from Pebblebee, Rolling Square, Chipolo, and others cover many needs, but the new Nomad Tracking Card Air seems to cover almost all of them in one.

The Nomad Tracking Card Air is the first option that really tries to compete here. It matches the Pebblebee in terms of simple Qi charging and manages to be even thinner at 1.7mm. While 0.04mm isn’t much, every fraction counts if you’re using a small wallet. That extra space simply makes it easier to fit the rest of your items in your wallet without feeling like you’re running out of space. It’s also worth noting that the Nomad tracker is cheaper.
Chipolo 's latest detection card is not only more expensive, approaching $40 , but also thicker at 2.5mm, and has worse battery life at 6 months. UGreen 's SlimG detector is cheaper and just as thin as the Nomad, but it has a disposable battery that dies after a few years.
Rolling Square's AirCard Pro hardware is also notable, but it's more expensive and thicker than the Pebblebee and Nomad options.

Finally, the Find Hub Android Wallet Finder from KeySmart, with a 1.8mm profile and 11-month battery life, is also a good option. It's more expensive than the Pebblebee card, though the transparent "Ghost" color looks attractive enough to be worth the extra few dollars.
