Does anyone know it you put the apple tag inside an aluminum gun case do they work or do they have to be n the outside?
 
No idea but it’s easy to check if you have one.

Not very well. I saw somewhere, where someone made an external case that attached with screws to the outside of a metal case.
 
The signal attenuation is probably pretty bad, but I don’t know for certain.

If you put it on the outside be discreet about it. I saw someone getting busted by an OR Tambo gate attendant for one on the outside of his luggage, and he was asked to remove it.
 
You will have issues with a aluminum case unfortunately
 
We did not have the best luck with air tags period. The Samsung tiles worked the best for us. We had one of each in each case. We had pelican cases, can not comment on an aluminum case.
 
I bought this from Amazon for my aluminum gun case…works great!

Thank you all for the quick response. I haven't bought the tags yet. Like that bike unit pictured.
 
Mine did not work well at all with the aluminum case. All the others in my bags did.
