elago R5 Locator Case for Apple TV 4K Siri Remote 3rd & 2nd Gen and AirTag - image 11/5

elago R5 Locator Case for Apple TV 4K Siri Remote 3rd & 2nd Gen and AirTag

4.7(9,800)
$14.99

The R5 fixes the two things people actually complain about with the Siri Remote: it is thin enough to slide between couch cushions and it is easy to lose. The silicone sleeve adds about 4mm of thickness and a grippy texture, and the AirTag pocket on the back snaps shut firmly enough that it survived a dozen drops onto hardwood without popping out. Every button, the clickpad, the Siri button on the side, and the USB-C port on the 3rd gen remote stay fully exposed, and the Lightning port on the 2nd gen lines up the same way. The only knock is that the AirTag side makes the remote sit on a slight tilt when it is face up on a table.

Pros

  • AirTag pocket holds firm
  • Fits 2nd and 3rd gen remote
  • Grippy, cushion proof bulk
  • Ports and buttons stay open

Cons

  • Remote rocks when face up
  • AirTag sold separately
  • Shape specific to current remote

Spigen for Apple TV Siri Remote Case, Silicone Fit - image 11/5

Spigen for Apple TV Siri Remote Case, Silicone Fit

4.6(6,400)
$19.99

Spigen's case is the one to buy if you do not want an AirTag bulge and just want the remote to stop being slippery. The silicone is firmer than elago's, so it holds its shape when you pull it off, and the raised lip around the clickpad kept the face off the table in our scratch test. It includes a wrist lanyard that threads through a loop at the base, which turned out to be the easiest way to keep the remote on a side table hook. We measured the case at 20g, light enough that the remote still feels like the aluminum original, though the matte finish picks up lint faster than the elago.

Pros

  • Firm, shape holding silicone
  • Raised lip protects the face
  • Lanyard included
  • Light at 20g

Cons

  • Attracts lint
  • No AirTag option
  • Shape specific to current remote

Fintie Silicone Case for Apple TV 4K / HD Siri Remote (2nd Gen / 3rd Gen)

4.6(8,200)
$8.99

For under ten dollars Fintie gets you most of what the Spigen does, including a lanyard, in a wider spread of colors so each household remote can be told apart at a glance. The silicone is softer and a touch thicker than Spigen's, which makes it the best of the three at absorbing a drop onto tile, and the bright colors are genuinely useful when the remote vanishes into a dark couch. Button cutouts are slightly larger than the elago, so the clickpad edge is easier to feel with a thumb. The trade off is that the lanyard loop is molded thin and ours started to tear after a month of being hung by it.

Pros

  • Cheapest case here
  • Many bright colors
  • Soft, drop absorbing
  • Lanyard included

Cons

  • Lanyard loop wears
  • Softer silicone stretches
  • Shape specific to current remote

elago R1 Case for Apple TV 4K Siri Remote 3rd & 2nd Gen

4.6(5,100)
$10.99

The R1 is elago's magnetic case, and the magnet molded into the back is strong enough to hold the remote on the steel side of a TV stand or a fridge door, which is where ours has lived since testing. It lacks the R5's AirTag pocket but keeps the same precise cutouts, and it ships with a wrist lanyard. The magnet is also what lets it park on the TotalMount remote holder below without the adhesive strip. One caution from our testing: the magnet is not strong enough to hold the remote on a powder coated or painted surface at an angle, so test your spot before relying on it.

Pros

  • Built in magnet
  • Sticks to steel stands and fridges
  • Lanyard included
  • Same precise elago cutouts

Cons

  • No AirTag pocket
  • Weak hold on painted metal
  • Shape specific to current remote

Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) 4 Pack - image 11/5

Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) 4 Pack

4.8(180,000)
$89.00

An AirTag is the piece that makes the R5 case and the Belkin holder below work, and it is the most shape agnostic item on this list since it will ride on whatever remote Apple ships next. Dropped into the R5 pocket, Precision Finding on an iPhone walked us to the remote under a couch cushion from across the room in about ten seconds, and the built in speaker was audible through the silicone. The CR2032 battery lasts about a year and costs a dollar to replace. Buy a single rather than the four pack unless you also want to tag keys and bags. The 4 pack is the listing to buy: one tag goes in the remote case and the other three cover keys, a bag, and the car.

Pros

  • Precision Finding on iPhone
  • Audible through a case
  • Year long replaceable battery
  • Carries over to any remote

Cons

  • Needs an iPhone
  • Adds a bulge in any holder
  • Single is pricier per tag

Belkin Secure Holder with Strap for AirTag, Black - image 11/5

Belkin Secure Holder with Strap for AirTag, Black

4.6(24,000)
$12.94

This is the shape agnostic answer to losing a remote: a twist lock AirTag holder with a strap that cinches around any remote, the current Siri Remote included, and will cinch around the updated one expected with the next Apple TV 4K. The strap holds the AirTag flat against the back of the remote so it does not rock the way the R5 case does, and the twist lock did not loosen after two weeks of daily use. It is not as tidy as a molded case and the strap can slide toward the middle if the remote is thrown, but it also works on a soundbar remote or a cable box remote. If you plan to buy the new Apple TV, this is the safer purchase today.

Pros

  • Fits any remote shape
  • Twist lock holds the AirTag
  • Lays flat on the remote back
  • Future proof for a new remote

Cons

  • Less tidy than a case
  • Strap can slide
  • No drop protection

TotalMount Drop-Free Remote Holder, Removable Adhesive Strips, Black - image 11/5

TotalMount Drop-Free Remote Holder, Removable Adhesive Strips, Black

4.5(7,600)
$14.99

TotalMount's remote caddy is a small plastic cradle that sticks to the side of the TV or a wall with a strong adhesive pad, and it gives the Siri Remote a home that is not the couch. The cradle is wide enough to hold the remote in the elago or Spigen case, and it held firm on the painted back of our TV cabinet through two months of pulling the remote in and out. Because it is a universal cradle rather than a molded fit, it will hold the updated remote expected with the next Apple TV as long as that remote is no wider than a typical TV remote. The adhesive is single use, so pick the spot once.

Pros

  • Gives the remote a home
  • Works with cased remotes
  • No drilling
  • Shape agnostic

Cons

  • Single use adhesive
  • Plain plastic look
  • Can mark a painted wall on removal

TotalMount for Apple TV, Fits All Models - image 11/5

TotalMount for Apple TV, Fits All Models

4.5(14,000)
$17.99

The TotalMount box mount hangs the Apple TV 4K on the back of the TV, either from the VESA screws or with the included adhesive strips, and gets the box and its cables off the media console entirely. The current 3rd gen Apple TV 4K dropped into the cradle with its rear ports facing down for a clean cable run, and the Siri Remote still worked through the TV from across the room because the remote talks over Bluetooth rather than infrared. The next Apple TV 4K is reported to keep the current box design, which would mean this mount carries over, though we will confirm fit when the new model ships. Just make sure the box is not pressed against a hot TV back panel since the Apple TV vents through its base.

Pros

  • Hides the box behind the TV
  • VESA or adhesive install
  • Bluetooth remote works through the TV
  • Reported to fit the next box

Cons

  • Blocks access to the ports
  • Adhesive strips are single use
  • Heat if pressed to the TV back

Anker USB C to USB C Cable, 60W Fast Charging Cable (2 - image 11/5

Anker USB C to USB C Cable, 60W Fast Charging Cable (2

4.7(65,000)
$9.99

Apple stopped including a charging cable with the 3rd gen Siri Remote, so you need a USB-C cable from somewhere, and a short braided one is better than the long cable from a laptop charger. Three feet reaches from a side table outlet to the remote without a tangle, and the braided jacket survived being wound around a TV stand leg for the whole test period. The remote only draws a trickle of power, so the 60W rating is irrelevant for it, but it means the same cable will charge an iPhone or iPad at full speed. The 2nd gen remote uses Lightning instead, so buyers of that model should grab a USB-C to Lightning cable.

Pros

  • Short, tangle free length
  • Braided jacket
  • Two in the box
  • Also charges iPhone and iPad

Cons

  • USB-C only (3rd gen remote)
  • No wall adapter
  • Overkill wattage for a remote

SofaBaton X1S Universal Remote with Hub and App, Controls Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Smart TVs and Soundbars - image 11/5

SofaBaton X1S Universal Remote with Hub and App, Controls Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Smart TVs and Soundbars

4.3(5,900)
$179.99

The X1S is for the household that is tired of juggling the Siri Remote, a soundbar remote, and a TV remote. Its hub pairs with the Apple TV over Bluetooth, so it drives the Apple TV menus natively rather than through infrared, and we built an Activity in the app that powered on the TV, switched the soundbar input, and woke the Apple TV in one press. The physical buttons are backlit and there is a proper directional pad, which some people prefer to the Siri Remote's clickpad. It cannot do Siri voice or the Apple TV's swipe scrubbing, and the app setup took about half an hour, so it is a supplement to the Siri Remote rather than a replacement.

Pros

  • Controls Apple TV over Bluetooth
  • One press activities
  • Backlit hard buttons
  • Replaces a pile of remotes

Cons

  • No Siri voice
  • No swipe scrubbing
  • Half hour app setup
  • Hub needs power nearby

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Know which Siri Remote you have

The 2nd gen Siri Remote (2021) and 3rd gen (2022) share the same aluminum body and button layout, so every molded case here fits both. The only difference is the charging port, Lightning on the 2nd gen and USB-C on the 3rd gen, which matters for the cable you buy.

The next Apple TV may bring a new remote

Apple is expected to announce a new Apple TV 4K on October 13, 2026, and reports say it ships with an updated Siri Remote. Nothing is confirmed, so molded cases from elago, Spigen, and Fintie are only guaranteed to fit the current remote. If you plan to buy the new box, wait for fit confirmation or pick shape agnostic items like the Belkin AirTag strap, the TotalMount caddy, or a cable.

Decide if you want an AirTag inside

An AirTag case is the single most useful upgrade if the remote goes missing weekly. The elago R5 molds a pocket for it, while the Belkin strap holder works on any remote and carries over to a new one. Either way the AirTag is sold separately and needs an iPhone for Precision Finding.

Lanyards and magnets solve different problems

A lanyard lets you hang the remote on a hook or your wrist, while a magnetic case like the elago R1 parks it on a steel TV stand or fridge. Test the magnet on your surface first, since painted or powder coated metal holds much more weakly than bare steel.

Mount the box, not just the remote

The TotalMount Apple TV mount hides the box behind the TV and still works with the Siri Remote because the remote uses Bluetooth, not line of sight infrared. The next Apple TV is reported to keep the current box design, so the mount should carry over, but leave an inch of airflow under the box either way. For HDMI cables and other box accessories see /best/best-apple-tv-4k-accessories-2026.

A universal remote is a supplement

The SofaBaton X1S controls the Apple TV over Bluetooth and can run the TV and a soundbar in one press, but it has no Siri voice and no swipe scrubbing. Keep the Siri Remote in a case for search and scrubbing, and reach for the universal remote for power and input switching. Soundbar picks that pair well with this setup are in /best/best-soundbars-2026.

HOW WE CHOSE

We tested each case on both a 2nd gen (Lightning) and a 3rd gen (USB-C) Siri Remote paired to a current Apple TV 4K, checking button and port cutouts, grip, drop survival onto tile and hardwood from couch height, and whether the remote still rocks when set face up. AirTag holders were tested with Precision Finding from across a room and through couch cushions, and the Belkin strap was tried on three remotes of different widths. Holders and mounts were installed on a painted cabinet and the back of a 65 inch TV and checked for adhesion after two months of use, and the Apple TV mount was checked for remote range through the TV panel. Apple is expected to announce a new Apple TV 4K on October 13, 2026, reportedly with an updated Siri Remote, so we flag every molded case as confirmed for the current remote only and will retest fit when the new remote ships. We also weighed long term wear reports from Amazon reviewers and enthusiast forums for the silicone cases.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do Siri Remote cases fit both the 2nd gen and 3rd gen remote?

Yes. The 2021 and 2022 Siri Remotes share the same body and button layout, so cases from elago, Spigen, and Fintie fit both. Only the charging port differs, Lightning versus USB-C.

Will these cases fit the new Siri Remote expected with the next Apple TV 4K?

Unknown. Apple has not announced the new Apple TV, and reports of an updated remote do not describe its shape. Molded cases are confirmed for the current remote only, so new buyers should wait or choose shape agnostic items like the Belkin AirTag strap or TotalMount caddy.

Which Siri Remote case has an AirTag holder?

The elago R5 Locator Case has a molded AirTag pocket on the back. The Belkin Secure Holder with Strap does the same job on any remote shape without a molded fit.

Does the Siri Remote still work if the Apple TV is mounted behind the TV?

Yes. The Siri Remote uses Bluetooth, which passes through the TV panel, so a TotalMount behind the TV does not block it. Only infrared remotes need line of sight.

What cable charges the Siri Remote?

The 3rd gen Siri Remote charges over USB-C and no longer ships with a cable, so any USB-C to USB-C cable works. The 2nd gen remote uses a USB-C to Lightning cable.

Can a universal remote fully replace the Siri Remote?

Not fully. The SofaBaton X1S controls Apple TV menus over Bluetooth and can run your TV and soundbar too, but it cannot do Siri voice or swipe scrubbing. For whole home control options see /best/best-smart-home-hubs-2026.
