The charging case for your AirPods and AirPods 2 are perfect for protecting those precious in-ear miracles. But what about protecting the Charging Case? The hard shell can get scratched and scuffed just like any other device, and let’s not even talk about what might happen if you drop the case from 4 feet off the ground. If you’re in the market for a case to protect your AirPods charging case or you just want to slip it into something that suits your personality better, we’ve got a list of the best cases to suit your needs.
These cases all fit the first and second-generation AirPods Charging Case, including the Wireless Charging Case.
Clip-on protection
Twelve South AirSnap
It’s leather. It has a snap closure top. It protects your AirPods or AirPods 2 case in style. What more could you want? Oh, a clip so you can hang it from your backpack zipper or keychain? Done. It’s all-over protection with style.
Hard case plus
CaseSack Travel Case
The CaseSack has a hard shell covered with a material that complements your color of choice (cloth or PU leather). It zips up to keep everything secure and has two mesh pockets inside. It’s large enough to fit your AirPods or AirPods 2, a Lightning cable, and a wall charger. You’re set for anything.
Silicone sleek
Elago Silicone case
This silicone case slips right over your AirPods and AirPods 2 Charging Case and adds just a slight bit of thickness with its impact-resistant material. It’s got a soft coating to help with grip and keeps dust from sticking to it. It also comes in glow-in-the-dark!
Two-piece protection
Nomad Rugged case
If you want simple protection, Nomad’s Horween leather case is perfect. It is a two-piece hard case with a beautiful leather exterior. It protects your AirPods or AirPods 2 with a bit of class.
Completely waterproof
Catalyst waterproof case
Keep your AirPods or AirPods 2 charging case sealed up tight for your next dive. Catalyst’s case is made of thick silicone that leaves no crack or port exposed, but is designed so you can still open the top to grab your AirPods and charge the case without removing it.
Leather Pouch
Walker Leather AirPods Pouch
Rugged elegance is what I like to call this case. It’s rawhide style design envokes a bit of a “cowboy out west” vibe. It comes in a variety of colors, including a nice burnished red. Each case is embossed with the Burkely logo.
Qi supported
Uervoton wireless charging case
If you don’t want to spend the extra money on the AirPods wireless Charging Case, Uervoton is here to save the day with an attractive wireless charging sleeve (the top is exposed). It has a nice cloth exterior with hard shell protection. Wireless and protective.
Seriously rugged
Jasontric Rugged AirPods case
Outdoorsy types will love this super thick silicone shockproof case. It is ultra protective, comes with a carabiner clip, and even includes a strap for the AirPods or AirPods 2. You could play hacky-sack with your AirPods case without worrying about damaging it [Editor’s note: don’t play hacky-sack with your AirPods case].
Soft shell
Lightning Power pouch
This rough-and-tumble carrying case is made of neoprene and lycra to keep your AirPods charging case safe from the elements. It has a velcro strap across the front to keep the flap securely closed and a D-ring on top so you can attach it to any style of clip.
Leather capsule
Burkely AirPods Case
Looking like a pill box from the 1800s, the Burkley is unique. While most cases are molded to fit the AirPods Case, this one takes a few liberties with the design. If you like a straight edged here and there, get this in either brown or black.
Fidget Spinner
ZenPod
We all do it; snap the AirPods case open and shut, fidgeting about without even realizing it. The ZenPod is the perfect case for satisfying your need to fidget. It’s got a spinner built in. Just flick your case round-and-round while you’re chatting with friends. It’s mesmerizing.
So cute!
Lovekiss Cute Owl Pouch
If you want to add a little flaire to your AirPods case, you’re going to make all of your friends go, “Awwww” when they see this adorable owl cover. It’s made out of silicone and will protect from scratches while looking totally ‘Gramable.
My personal favorite
If you want to add a little style and a lot of protection to your AirPods or AirPods 2 Charging Case, these are the best-in-class. Whether you want serious protection or wireless charging, there’s something on this list for everyone. If you want to know which AirPods cases I love the most from this list, well…
I keep my AirSnap AirPods case with me at all times and it’s never lost because it’s clipped to my bag. It’s even got a cutaway so I can see the charging status light on the AirPods 2.
If you’re trying to save a couple of bucks, I recommend the Lightning Power Pouch. It’s got that gamer look to it and it’ll protect your AirPods Charging Case without taking up to much space.
