NFC Lost & Found Tags
Use CaseFinder taps the tag. Your contact info appears. Item comes home.
The Problem
You lose a bag, keys, or laptop. The finder has no way to reach you. A business card tucked inside falls out. An NFC tag attached to the item lets anyone tap with their phone and see your contact details — name, phone, email — without needing an app or account.
Who This Is For
- Travellers tagging luggage and bags
- Parents tagging children's belongings
- Professionals tagging laptops and gear
- Anyone who regularly misplaces keys
What Opens on Tap
Owner contact page
Shows your name, phone number, and/or email. The finder calls or messages you.
Privacy-safe profile
Show only what you choose — nickname and email, no full name or address.
WhatsApp or SMS link
Finder taps a button to message you directly. No number visible on screen.
Reward message
"If found, please contact me. Reward offered." Motivates the finder.
Where the Tag Goes
Bag strap or zipper pull
Visible, accessible. Finder sees it and taps immediately.
Keychain
NFC keychain tag attached to your keyring. Always with your keys.
Laptop sleeve or case
Tag on the outside of the sleeve. Finder taps without opening.
Inside luggage lid
Slightly hidden to avoid tampering. Finder opens the bag and sees it.
Wallet card
NFC card in your wallet. Finder taps to see your details.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Putting your full home address on the contact page (use phone/email only)

- Encoding a phone number that you might change (use a URL instead)
- Not testing that the tag actually works before relying on it
