The charging case for your Airpods can get pretty dinged up. If you’re anything like us, you have probably dropped it more than a few times. Now, you can help protect and keep your case cranking with Incase’s protective cases for Airpods and Airpods Pro. These lightweight, form-fitting cases are made from a metallic PU material that protects the case while looking rather chic. Underneath the exterior of the case is a rigid, injection-molded Bayer Makrolon polycarbonate shell that can take a hell of a beating, no problem. By overlaying the hard shell with Incase’s special metallic material, the case is able to maintain a slim profile along with notable durability. The patented Incase design allows the material to precisely wrap around the shell in a way that prevents any fraying, through numerous drops. Protect your Airpods case with Incase. Gear Patrol readers can also snag 20% off your order with the code GP20-INC.
