NFC tags

---

Anyone know where to get a bunch of NFC tags for not much money?

I ordered some NFC tags from the Sony Store online. For $20 you get four tags.

I got Samsung tec tiles from the att store. It was $15 and it came with 5.

I got the Sony Smart Tag 4 pack for $15 at Amazon. I am looking into the off-brand stickers that are cheaper than the Samsung ones, but I really like the Sony ones so far.

The whole NFC thing is cool but I'm having a hard time finding uses for them. I guess I'm so used to doing it my self. No pun intended.

I'm wondering if would be cool to just carry around one tag in my other pocket (I always keep my phone in my left pocket), and switch pockets to enable something like full volume or something.... I dont actually have an ion yet though... but looking forward to it.
Also, do you think when we get custom kernels running we could get NFC apps to change governors/IO schedulers etc..?

Hotel card keys. Waiting on my Ion (last three devices didn't have NFC), but I have a couple of the newer plastic hotel key cards I am going to repurpose for profiles.

Using NFC Task Launcher (Tagstand) app you can set one tag to switch between 2 settings. First tap sets it for car mode (eg GPS on, mobile data on), and 2nd tap sets it to home mode (wifi on). You can also set up a task to send a predefined sms "Hi Honey I'm leaving now".

Currently using Xperia Ion - LTE ready ... just waiting for them to build the towers...

tagsfordroid.com, awesome stuff, 20 tags for 25.99 and comes with an extra keychain tag and some stickers, I use these with my gnex and when my ion gets here in a few days i will test em out but i dont see why they wouldn't work. way cheaper here and they are higher quality than those samsung ones, hard plastic outside and stick really well.
