elago Remote Holder Mount for Apple TV 4K Siri Remote (2nd Gen) & 3rd (2022) — Wall or Sticker Mount, White
Product description
The essentials
If you’ve ever watched an Apple TV remote disappear behind the sofa, this kind of accessory is hard to argue with. The elago Remote Holder Mount is designed to give your Siri Remote a dedicated “home” so it’s not left to fate (or cushions) when you need it most.
On paper, it’s straightforward: you mount the holder either using a strong sticker on the back of your TV or on a flat wall, or you screw it in where the wall surface isn’t flat. The idea is simple—create a consistent spot for the remote to hang—so searching becomes the exception rather than the routine.
What it’s made for (and why it helps)
The biggest day-to-day problem with remotes isn’t performance, it’s location. This holder addresses that by turning “where is it?” into “it should be on the wall/TV”. When you finish watching, you place the remote back in its spot—no more improvised guesses.
A useful way to imagine it working: say you’re switching from films to live TV, and you set the remote down while you grab snacks. Ten minutes later, instead of retracing steps across the living room, you know exactly where it should be.
Key features in plain English
What stands out here is the mounting flexibility. Most people won’t want to commit to drilling straight away, and this model gives you a choice.
You get two attachment options: - Strong sticker mounting for the back of your TV or a flat wall - Screw mounting if your wall isn’t flat (with screws provided)
It’s also built specifically around compatibility with the Apple TV Siri Remote mentioned in the description: the new 2021 Apple TV Siri Remote 2nd Generation is covered, and it also states compatibility with the 3rd (2022). That matters because remote holders can be annoyingly picky.
One more detail to keep in mind: the description notes that elago cases are compatible with the mount, except for the R5 series related to Apple AirTags. So if you use a case (and especially if it’s an R5), it’s worth double-checking before you stick or drill.
The limitations worth considering
This isn’t a universal “fit anything” wall dock. It’s intended for specific Siri Remote generations, and the mount’s whole point is that it supports the correct remote shape and positioning.
Also, while the sticker option is convenient, it depends heavily on surface conditions. If the area you plan to mount onto isn’t suitable (for example, not flat or not the sort of surface the adhesive can grip reliably), you may find yourself leaning towards the screw option instead.
Finally, while the holder creates a dedicated place for your remote, it can’t protect it from being picked up by someone else—or from you placing it somewhere else. It removes the “lost remote” problem, but it doesn’t override human habits.
Who it suits best
It makes sense if you want a practical, low-fuss way to keep your Apple TV remote where you can actually find it.
It’s especially relevant if: - You frequently misplace the remote in a busy living room - You prefer a no-drill approach first (sticker mounting) but still want the option to screw it later - You have a setup where mounting on the back of the TV or a flat wall is realistic
What to check before you buy
Before committing, it’s worth verifying a few things from the listing details:
- Compatibility with your exact Apple TV Siri Remote generation (the description references Siri Remote 2nd Generation and 3rd (2022))
- Whether you use an elago case, and if so whether it falls under the “except R5 series” note
- Where you plan to mount it: sticker on a flat surface versus screws if your wall isn’t flat
Also, think about placement. A holder works best when it’s within easy reach—near where you naturally sit or stand while watching.
In the real world: quick scenario
Imagine you’ve mounted it on a flat wall near your sofa. After a session, you hang the remote back in its designated spot. Next time you want to change volume or jump back ten seconds, you’re not scanning under blankets or checking the side table again—you’ve already got the remote where it belongs.
It’s not exciting tech, but that predictability is exactly what most people want from a remote holder.
Final verdict
When it makes sense
This elago Remote Holder Mount is a sensible buy if your main issue is losing your Apple TV Siri Remote and you want a consistent, dedicated place for it—without having to drill if you don’t want to (sticker mounting is an option).
When you should skip it
You may want to avoid it if you’re not sure about remote generation compatibility, you use an elago case in the R5 series that’s called out as an exception, or you’re unsure whether the mounting surface will suit sticker installation.
Worth considering
If you value the “orderly life” approach—where the remote always goes back to the same spot—this is the kind of accessory that earns its keep fast.
