The charging case for AirPods and AirPods isn’t the most durable. It picks up all kinds of little nicks and scratches because it’s always being handled (and occasionally dropped), so it’s a good idea to pick up a protective case. Since Apple only makes a white charging case for the AirPods and AirPods Pro, a protective case is a good idea to differentiate your charging case from the masses.

Nomad makes some of our favorite protective cases. They have a two-piece construction and are made out of genuine leather that’ll patina over time. Plus they’re slim and don’t add much bulk. Nomad makes leather rugged cases for both AirPods and AirPods Pro, and its latest line adds new color options, including various shades of black and brown, as well as gold.
