Different Circumstances We’ve Examined and Like
Not all circumstances we examined are winners, however we nonetheless like ’em sufficient to suggest them when you benefit from the model. We’ll proceed testing extra AirPods circumstances as we get them.

Nomad Leather-based AirPods Case for $40: Nomad additionally makes nice leather-based circumstances for all AirPods generations, they usually rival our prime choose in high quality. In truth, 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 help wi-fi chargers.
Crochet Cat Airpods Case for $39: This crocheted cat case is the cutest factor ever, with slightly fish bag looped across the shoulder and a bell on the collar. I like that the highest and backside items are linked, as an alternative of being two separate items. Nonetheless, the AirPods do not match snugly—there is a little bit of house on the backside. The precise case and vendor we bought this from seem to not be energetic on Etsy, however we have linked to a different one that appears similar. Appropriate with AirPods (1st, 2nd, and third technology) and AirPods Professional (1st and 2nd technology) —Medea Giordano
Bluebonnet Leather-based AirPods Case for $40: For those who’re after a leather-based case, I choose Mujjo or Nomad’s circumstances above. Bluebonnet’s case is a single piece, and whereas it is manufactured from top-grain leather-based, it would 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 slightly 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 would 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 terrific job of defending the AirPods case. Given its form, it is bulkier than quite a lot of different AirPods circumstances, however that comes with the territory of selecting a dinosaur form. Sadly, I seen it stains simply over time (possible from being uncovered to clutter or mud). Appropriate with AirPods (third Technology)
Mindresy Silicone Case Cowl for AirPods Max for $14: For those who’re hesitant about whether or not or not you need covers on your AirPods Max, these are a strong, reasonably priced 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 Circumstances
Jiunai Pop-It AirPods 2 Case for $7: My arms are in fixed want of fidgeting, so naturally, I like a fidget toy to maintain me occupied. I used to be excited to do this case, hoping it could give my arms one thing to do apart from open and shut my AirPods 300 occasions in a row. Regardless of the optimistic Amazon evaluations, 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 an alternative of a carabiner clip, it comes with a cute, pearl-beaded lanyard. It does a great job at shielding the case when it is on my desk or in my bag, however the prime cowl tends to slip off—particularly when hitting the bottom, which is the precise reverse of what a protecting case ought to do.
