The fobs and app each come with buttons that triggers an audible alarm from a paired device to help locate it. And the app offers a map for GPS-based tracking for devices that are out of range.” -- Stephen Shankland Online Circulation: 15,444,844 unique visitors a month Kensington Proximo Starter Kit SKU #39565 January 9, 2013 | Keep your iDevice from walking away with the Kensington Proximo “New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg should look at this new Kensington product, announced at CES on Wednesday.

You can press a button on the fob or tag to help find your missing iPhone via an audible alarm. You can also press a button on the app to trigger an alarm on the fob or tag. The app supports up to five fobs or tags. It even offers a map for GPS-based tracking of devices that are out of range.” – Michael Santo Online Circulation: 12,482,445 unique visitors a month

  3. Proximo Top PR Coverage Product News Coverage Kensington Proximo Starter Kit SKU #39565 January 8, 2013 | Kensington wants you to be very afraid of losing your iPhone, buy its $60 Proximo system “A mobile phone is lost or stolen every 3.5 seconds, warns Kensington.The company's solution is simple: a low-power wireless fob that stays in your pocket and sounds the alarm if you move too far away from your iPhone 5 or 4S. The idea has been around for a while, of course, and it's proving popular elsewhere at CES right now, but the $60 Proximo Starter Kit -- now available for pre-order -- adds a couple more components. As well as the fob, you also get a tag that can be attached to other valuables and an iOS app that allows the monitoring of up to four further tags (priced at $25 each) simultaneously. Each fob and tag lasts up to six months thanks to low-power Bluetooth 4.0, and the CR2032 battery should be easy enough to switch out.” -- Sharif Sakr Online Circulation: 1,647,806 unique visitors a month Kensington Proximo Starter Kit SKU #39565 January 8, 2013 | Kensington Shows Off Travel Friendly Mobile Accessories at CES 2013 “Most intriguing is the Proximo monitoring system, which consists of an iPhone 4S/5 app, a Bluetooth key fob and a circular Bluetooth tag.

Lock yourself out of your house often? The Proximo app can also be configured to sound an alarm if you move a customizable distance away from a tag.” -- Brad Chacos Online Circulation: 449,193 unique visitors a month

The app also lets you set the sensitivity for each tag, so you can set your keys to stay very close, or set your car for a wider range. You can also track your phone directly from the fob (though the tag doesn't have any extra buttons on it, so that's a no-go there). If you ever lose your phone, you can just hit the button on the key fob, and then your phone will light up with an alert.” -- Mike Schramm Online Circulation: 115,262 unique visitors a month

It has helped me to find my keys when I cannot remember where I left them the night before. If the Proximo prevents you from losing an iPhone, briefcase, purse, etc. just once, then it would certainly be worth it. Like any insurance policy, you just need to weigh the cost versus the benefit — a benefit that you hope you never need. I like that Proximo is a product that you can buy and then largely forget about until you need it ... in which case you'll be thrilled that you have it.” – Jeff Richardson Online Circulation: 1,247 unique visitors a month
