Best Apple TV Remote Replacements & Cases (2026)

Quick answer: The Siri Remote is the easiest remote to lose. Get a silicone Siri Remote case with a strap so it can't slip behind cushions, an AirTag-holder remote case so Find My from iPhone locates it instantly, or a backup third-party remote so a dead Siri Remote doesn't ruin movie night. Strap loop, AirTag compatibility, and material grip are what matter.

🏆 Best Overall — Silicone Case with Wrist Strap

★ BEST OVERALL

Siri Remote Silicone Case + Strap

Anti-slipStrap loop

Soft silicone protects against drops and adds a grip — strap clips to the couch so it can't disappear. The pick for most. The "I stopped losing the remote" upgrade.

Pro tip — iPhone Control Center already has an Apple TV remote — add the widget. Settings → Control Center → add "Apple TV Remote" — gets you a full Siri Remote replacement on your iPhone for free. Pair with an AirTag-equipped case for the lost-remote case (literally). See AirTag accessories for more Find My-enabled gear.
