Not all circumstances we examined are winners, however we nonetheless like ’em sufficient to advocate them if you happen to benefit from the model. We’ll proceed testing extra AirPods circumstances as we get them.

Nomad Leather AirPods Case for $40: Nomad additionally makes nice leather-based circumstances for all AirPods generations, and so they rival our prime decide in high quality. In truth, you possibly can go together 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 effectively, 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 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. Nonetheless, the AirPods do not match snugly—there is a little bit of house on the backside. The precise case and vendor we received this from seem to now not be lively 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 AirPods Case for $40: In case you’re after a leather-based case, I want Mujjo or Nomad’s circumstances above. Bluebonnet’s case is a single piece, and whereas it is product of 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 images on Bluebonnet’s website really feel a bit 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 an important job of defending the AirPods case. Given its form, it is bulkier than numerous 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 mess or mud). Appropriate with AirPods (third Technology)
Mindresy Silicone Case Cover for AirPods Max for $14: In case you’re hesitant about whether or not or not you need covers to your AirPods Max, these are a strong, inexpensive possibility to start out 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 select off. The extra items make for a tighter match of the headphones in your head, which is good 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 might give my arms one thing to do aside from open and shut my AirPods 300 instances 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 Pro Case for $12: I have been utilizing this case with my second-generation AirPods Professional. It is clear, which makes it straightforward 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 superb 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.
