For a while I tried Bikn, which worked pretty well but covered up the standard iPhone connector and replaced it with a Micro-USB. It also broke within a few months.
Then I tried the Cirago iAlertTag: http://www.amazon.com/Cirago-IAT1000-iAlertTag-iPhone-Black/..., but it's pretty flaky. You have to leave the app running in the background, so if you forget or reboot or whatnot it's basically useless. And then you have to replace the batteries, so ultimately, you end up having to keep track of more than you would have had you simply remembered the thing you got the tag for.
Generally speaking though, for the absent minded like myself, I really need a solid implementation of this idea. One that a) is difficult to accidentally trigger while in my pocket, b) has a long battery life, c) minimal setup/fiddling wrt the mobile device.
