    Wonderful meaningful product

    • Written by

    After 10 weeks with hipkey I have come to love the device. hipkey is elegant, easy to use and very reliable in maintaining a connection and re-connecting when close to my iPhone. It has nice extra features like the safe zone and motion alarm (detecting instant movements). I'd recommend this great little accessory for everyone. My wife is getting one for Mothers Day :-)

    When travelling I use Hipkey to look after my iPhone or iPad and my camera bag with all my expensive camera lenses. It is a great looking device that is easy to use and very reliable. I'll recommend it for anyone.

    how to avoid false alarms

    • Written by

    One review has mentioned false alarms. I don't get any false alarms on my hipkey. The connection is very reliable once established and the reach is quite good. Outdoor I get 450 feet between my iPhone and hipkey when they are in line of sight. Indoor the range is less but still acceptable. It depends on the rooms, doors, construction materials etc.

    The trick not to get unwanted alarms is to use the excellent safezone feature. I have set up safezone's in my home, office, parents place and a few other places. My iPhone registers every time I enter and exit a safezone. hipkey does not alarm when being inside a safezone. Its a great feature.

    I noticed that hipkey sometimes makes 2-3 beeps when I pick it up inside a safezoe. First I thought this was an alarm. I contacted the vendor and they told me it is not an alarm but a "safezone notification". Here is how it works:

    When hipkey has entered a safezone it will not sound the normal distance alarms. If hipkey looses its connection to its iPhone it will start monitoring if it is moved (it uses the build in movement sensor). When moved hipkey will make 3 notification beeps to inform me that it is not connected to my iPhone. The vendor told me this feature is meant to warn you, that you are about to leave your safezone without your iPhone. Very handy feature to prevent you from leaving behind your iPhone when you go to work in the morning.

    I have come to like the feature very much but also recommended to the vendor that they make this feature optional in the hipkey App. Not all might like this feature. They promised to look into it.

    Does what it promesses... And better

    • Written by from Drummondville

    It's a wonderfull piece of hardware that works very well, almost no false signal. Pairing is easy and connection holds well to its advertized specs... I charge every 5-7 days only... Worth the price... Would buy a second one!

    10 points for hipkey's design, ease of use and features. Get one !

    • Written by

    The team behind hipkey has done an excellent job in making a tech gadget a non complicated beneficial consumer device. Who hasn't had trouble finding their phone now or then or who hasn't left for work realizing 5 miles down the road that the phone is still at home. hipKey has made a very convincing solution to overcome these problems.

    Hipkey is very reliable and looks and feels great. And cheap too for what it does.

    Super job hippih team.

    Great Device !

    • Written by

    I have used hipkey for 8 weeks every day since I got it. I have hipkey connected to my iPhone 5 and use the Alarm mode to protect my iPhone. The initial pairing was very easy. Hereafter it took me a few days to get to know the technology behind hipkey (e.g. Bluetooth), which made me find out about the safe zone and set a handful of them up. Now hipkey is connected to my keys and just follows me around together with my phone.

    Using hipkey has made me more aware about where and how I use my phone and made me more careful not to leave it behind by mistake somewhere (has happened before).

    Battery performance is very good. Only one re-charge so far and still two bars to go. The battery effect on my iPhone is minimal. I still have one day on a full charge on the phone as before.

    I have used the other modes a few times. E.g. child-mode on my 4 year old son when being in a crowded supermarket. The experience was quite okay. hipKey helped me not to be concerned about if he was too far away, if I didn't see him for a moment. It felt like a quite reliable experience. Motion mode has also been used to monitor my bag while being in a restaurant. No one touched my bag but when I went to get it I right way got an alarm :)

    Overall I am very satisfied with my hipkey. It is a very reliable and high quality device, which I find easy to use and securing to carry. To all of you in doubt of buying hipkey I can only give it my warmest recommendations. Real value for money !!!!

    It saved me from loosing my iPhone 5 yesterday - I love my hipkey !!

    • Written by

    I am so happy for my hipkey. When driving in a cab I didn't notice that my iPhone had slipped out of the back pocket of my trousers and was lying on the back seat. After paying I left the cab and started walking away. Within seconds I was warned by the loud hipkey alarm and I ran back to the cab and found my iPhone again. I praise my hipkey for rescuing my iPhone this time.

    Generally I find hipkey very robust and reliable. Connects quickly and stays connected when in reach. The range is quite good and the safe zone feature is excellent.

    The motion alarm is handy as well. I use it to protect my computer bag when going on business trips.

    Love new innovations like this

    • Written by

    I came across hipkey in the Apple store in NYC when asking the staff about something new and cool for my iPhone 5.

    Now after using hipkey for 5 weeks I can say I love it. It helps me keep track of my keys and iPhone everywhere I go. I have it on all the time and never had any false alarms. I set the alarm distance to Long and have set up several safe zone's. I will recommend this setting for other hipkey users as well.

    This is the best accessory I have come accross this year. Keep them coming guys.

    hipkey lost and found

    • Written by

    I got hipkey for my son who never can find his keys before leaving the house. We all had to get involved finding his keys with delays and frustrations as a consequence. Then hipKey came along and that has been a great solution for him.

    hipKey is not turned off and neither is the App. Find Me works instantly when the two devices are connected. Also after a long time in between an established connection. A quick walk through the house will find hipKey - guaranteed.

    Now my son also started to use Alarm mode and Motion mode. Both works very well. He likes hipKey a lot.

    hipKey rocks

    • Written by

    This is the best money spend ever. hipkey helps me find my phone and key's at any time. Motion mode I use for looking after my camera accessories while shooting for customers.

    I keep hipkey in my keyring with other keys. So far no major no scratches etc. on hipKey. It looks nice, feels robust and material selection is very good.

    hipkey simple but beautiful

    • Written by

    Ready, set, go in less than 1 minutes. Great App to make it happen so smoothly.

    I love the design and the features. I use motion mode to watch my computer bag with Apple products when visiting clients and alarm mode when I am moving around.

    Usage is better than expected. Much longer alarm distance than all other similar devices I have come across.

    The team behind hipkey is very supportive. I submitted my question on their web and next day was called up by someone from the organisation. Problem was resolved within 5 minutes and I could move on. I encourage others to do the same.

    A clever product that works well

    • Written by from SOLANA BEACH

    I've used the hipKey for 3 weeks and it's worked well. I've been using it just in its Alarm mode to prevent me from leaving either my keys or my iPhone 5 behind. On a few occasions I used the app to help find my keys. (Push a button on the app and the hipKey sounds a gentle alarm.). I initially had a problem with it going off a couple of times unexpectedly, with the phone and device side by side. I changed my case from a metal wrap around (Element) case to a plastic case and it then worked perfectly. Wonder what that case does to my cellular signal?) I've dropped my keys with the hipKey attached, and even in a puddle once, and it continues to work fine. On one occasion I walked away from a table in a restaurant with the phone on the table and my keys in my pocket, and the hipKey alarm went off, reminding me I left the phone behind. I'm finding this to be an excellent product, ruggedly built, that works as promised.

    hipkey, find your keys, is magic !!

    • Written by

    I got hipkey to make it find my keys for me. I can never find them and get confused if I have them with me after closing and auto-locking the door. It has happened more times I have had to spend 100$ to have my front door opened by a locksmith. This is more than what I spent on one hipKey !

    Hipkey does not have to have other features enabled at the same time as Find-Me. This is exactly what I wanted.

    The battery is great. So far after three weeks I still haven't had to charge it.

    Works beautifully

    • Written by

    I have used it every day since I got it, and haven't had any issues with this device at all.

    Be prepared to use hipKey a few days to learn how to use it in the right way. I did. After that there is no point of return. It is absolutely great and the consumer promise 100% fulfilled.

    At first I got a few false alarms but I quickly learned to set alarm distance to medium or long (best result) and then setup safe zone's, which is an excellent feature. If you don't already use safe zones, then do so as it is an important feature for the overall experience. I also learned not to carry hipkey or iPhone tightly enclosed to the body. Bluetooth is not well suited for that in general and the result can be a degrease of max connection distance between iPhone and hipKey.



    I normally do not loose my things but it happened one week ago that my iPhone slipped out of my pocket while sitting on the back seat in a yellow cab. When leaving the cab, my phone was still on the back seat. Luckily hipkey warned me and I could run to stop the cab and immediately get my iPhone back. So happy with hipKey that day! Another observation with hipKey is that after carrying it, I have become more aware about not leaving any of my valuables behind where ever I am. This it in self is really beneficial.

    Finally this morning I downloaded the new hipKey app and found it now overrules the mute button. My one complaint has now disappeared.

    Great work hipKey team. I'd recommend hipKey to everyone I know.

    never loose your keys anymore with HipKey

    • Written by

    Tried another similar product last year but was disappointed with it's short range and limited battery life. Hipkey is a completely different experience. In my house, two levels, 1800 square feet, I almost get full coverage and I have had no need for recharging so far after two weeks.

    I loose my car keys often but now with hipkey I save a lot of time finding them. Even when in my handbag, my iPhone reaches out to them every time. I love it.

    The movement alarm gave me some trouble to start with as I didn't know how to turn it off. But after learning the trick I have had no issues with it. Used HipKey with this feature as a baby alarm to monitor my sleeping grandchild the other day. When she woke and moved my iPhone warned me. Nice feature with many purposes.

    I rate it 5 stars because of it's convenient features, friendly iPhone 5 App and good quality make.

    2 minutes and you are set to go. Like it !

    • Written by

    My first experience with hipKey is very good. I like it's look, the materials used and the quality feel it has. The product is easily unpacked and the quick-guide tell's you everything required to pair and get started. All done in less than 2 minutes, very seamless and intuitive.

    The App works like a charm. It has an Apple feel to it. Is very easy to operate, even without a manual in front of you. I did have problems with moving the pairing from iPhone to my iPad but with assistance of the HipKey team, who responded very quickly after contacting them, I used the hipKey demo video on youtube to make it happen.

    I like the safe zone feature a lot. What a great concept. Unwanted alarms are normally unavoidable with these short-range wireless Bluetooth devices, but safe zone prevents them in a very intuitive way. One extra Star for that.

    So far I only have deeper experience with Alarm Mode. The max. distance is quite okay. I find the short distance a bit too short so I use medium or long distance. Alerts on Hipkey is quite high.

    Overall I recommend my friends to get one, and I got one more for my girlfriend, who looses her key's a lot ;-) I'll ask her to report her findings here as well.

    Great device, great friend and very reliable!

    • Written by from Apeldoorn

    I have my Hipkey for 6 weeks now, never had a problem with this device.
    It looks great, feels great and really warns me as promised. Attached tot my keyring it beeps when I leave the safe zone, a brilliant finding of this device. Even at my busy work at the hospital, where mobiles of my colleges were lost or stolen (3 x!) it works through all the massive walls, although the distance is less than outdoor ofcourse, which is as expected. The app is superb, attractive and easy to use. The Hipkey became one of my reliable friends, keeping gard over my Iphone and helping me to trace my keys or Iphone at home or where ever I go. For the reviewers with less positive experiences, I hope that Apple will replace your Hipkey with one that works properly, it’s a brand new product with great properties! Thank you Hippih and Apple for my new friend!
