Pop Qiz - When you activate the shield and it floats off your arm, if you subsequently move from the square (for whatever reason) - does the shield move with you or does it stay in the square you activated it in? I note the line: While the shield is adjacent to you - So that seems to say there are circumstances were it will not be?

Floating Shield Item 11+
Uncommon Magical
Source Core Rulebook pg. 587
Usage strapped to 1 hand; Bulk L
A floating shield is usually carved with wing motifs. This buckler (Hardness 6, HP 24, BT 12) can protect you on its own.
Activate Single Action Interact; Frequency once per day; Effect The shield magically releases itself and floats off your arm into the air next to you, granting you its bonus automatically, as if you had Raised the Shield. Because you’re not wielding the shield, you can’t use reactions such as Shield Block with the shield, but you gain its benefits even when using both of your hands. After 1 minute, the shield drops to the ground, ending its floating effect. While the shield is adjacent to you, you can Interact to grasp it, ending its floating effect early.

Yes, the shield moves with you, until its one-minute duration expires and it "drops to the ground, ending its floating effect." That is the circumstance "while adjacent" is referring to.
