Nomad Leather-based AirPods Case for $40: Nomad additionally makes nice leather-based instances for all AirPods generations, they usually rival our high choose in high quality. In actual fact, you may go along with the identical Ecco leather-based that Mujjo makes use of or pay up for Horween leather-based, which feels a bit extra luxe and comes from an esteemed tannery in Chicago. They match properly, have a cutout for the LED on the entrance, and assist wi-fi chargers.
Crochet Cat Airpods Case for $39: This crocheted cat case is the cutest factor ever, with a bit of fish bag looped across the shoulder and a bell on the collar. I like that the highest and backside items are related, as a substitute of being two separate items. Nevertheless, the AirPods do not match snugly—there is a little bit of area on the backside. The precise case and vendor we obtained this from seem to not be lively on Etsy, however we have linked to a different one that appears an identical. Appropriate with AirPods (1st, 2nd, and third technology) and AirPods Professional (1st and 2nd technology) —Medea Giordano
Bluebonnet Leather-based AirPods Case for $40: If you happen to’re after a leather-based case, I choose Mujjo or Nomad’s instances above. Bluebonnet’s case is a single piece, and whereas it is manufactured from top-grain leather-based, it does not really feel all that beautiful. There is a cutout for the LED mild, and wi-fi charging works completely. The photographs on Bluebonnet’s website really feel a bit of misleading, although—when the case is open, part of it lifts up out of the underside part of the case, which does not look proper, and Bluebonnet does not present this on its product web page. Appropriate with AirPods (1st, 2nd, and 4th technology) and AirPods Professional (1st and 2nd technology)
Cute Dinosaur AirPods Case for $14: This case is not simply tremendous cute, it does a fantastic job of defending the AirPods case. Given its form, it is bulkier than plenty of different AirPods instances, however that comes with the territory of selecting a dinosaur form. Sadly, I observed it stains simply over time (probably from being uncovered to mess or mud). Appropriate with AirPods (third Era)
Mindresy Silicone Case Cowl for AirPods Max for $14: If you happen to’re hesitant about whether or not or not you need covers to your AirPods Max, these are a strong, inexpensive possibility to begin with. My favourite factor about this set is that, along with the earcup covers, you additionally get covers for the earpad and headband. I’ve two gripes although—the cutouts aren’t actual, however nonetheless accessible, and the silicone attracts tiny mud particles that may be irritating to choose off. The extra items make for a tighter match of the headphones in your head, which is right for me as a result of the AirPods Max have a tendency to slip off my head. Appropriate with AirPods Max
Keep away from These Instances
Jiunai Pop-It AirPods 2 Case for $7: My fingers are in fixed want of fidgeting, so naturally, I like a fidget toy to maintain me occupied. I used to be excited to do that case, hoping it could give my fingers one thing to do apart from open and shut my AirPods 300 instances in a row. Regardless of the optimistic Amazon critiques, it wasn’t enjoyable or satisfying to push the bubbles. The highest half doesn’t even keep on. —Medea Giordano
Olytop Floral Shell AirPods Professional Case for $12: I have been utilizing this case with my second-generation AirPods Professional. It is clear, which makes it simple to see the LED mild always, and the sparkly, floral print provides a enjoyable contact. As a substitute of a carabiner clip, it comes with a cute, pearl-beaded lanyard. It does a very good job at shielding the case when it is on my desk or in my bag, however the high cowl tends to slip off—particularly when hitting the bottom, which is the precise reverse of what a protecting case ought to do.
