My airpods case got stolen/lost in my local gym more than a year ago. Unfortunately, the staff weren’t really cooperative which eventually led me to losing hope in ever finding it. I’ve also tried looking into if it was possible to get a replacement case with Apple but I’m having trouble looking for that offer in my country’s Apple website.

Now, I’d like to hopefully make use of my Airpods Pro again so I would just like to ask if there are compatibility issues if I ever get a new case? I’m looking to consider even HK variants or class As if there’s no issues but I’ll probably also try asking around FB groups if anyone with only the case would be willing to sell theirs for cheap instead.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Whats your opinion on these cases and have you found/ordered any others that I haven’t listed? I am looking at cases/covers for scratch protection and love the idea of MagSafe magnets in the case so I can attach my AirPods Pro 3 currently on preorder to a MagSafe charger. Plus they didn’t release any new colors for the AirPods again so might as well get a case.

1. ESR AirPods Pro 3 Cyber FlickLock Magnetic Case - Really considering this one but I find it thick, bulky and ugly but love how it opens and how it is magsafe compatible https://www.esrtech.com/?utm_source=impactUS&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=12796&irclickid=QQnxDpU9yxycUyJ2HdwplVwIUkpwof3ZTRcvSk0&sharedid=9469&irgwc=1

2. Bellroy Pod Jacket Pro - Love the leather and all the colors alongside the included strap, looks very premium and will patina beautifully, no magsafe magnets, no locking mechanism so airpods may fly out of the case if dropped. https://bellroy.com/products/pod-jacket-pro?color=terracotta&material=leather&ranEAID=3857225&ranMID=43345&ranSiteID=.mqp6FBT0mQ-JFYY1ePFKLJ7XbGPTTEIQg&size=pod_jacket_pro_3rd_generation#slide-0&utm_source=rakuten&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Ecomnia&utm_content=3857225

3. Nomad Modern Leather case - Another lovely case but no magnets or locking mechanism. Beautiful Horween leather though. Rustic Brown and a beautiful Black colors. https://nomadgoods.com/ca/products/modern-leather-case-airpods-pro-3-horween-rustic-brown

4. Woolnut Leather case - Another leather case from a European Leather company with beautiful marbling and texture in great colors. https://www.woolnut.com/products/leather-case-for-airpods-pro-3?variant=53214735237452

5. Spigen Urban, Spigen Vault, Spigen Nano Pop and Spigen Urban Fit - All good, no magsafe magnets, nano pop has locking mechanism though. https://www.spigen.com/collections/airpods-collection?sort_by=title-ascending&filter.v.option.device=AirPods+Pro+3&current.device.choice=AirPods+Pro%2CAirPods+Pro+3&current.color.choice=

6. LaterCase for AirPods Pro 3 - Probably the thinnest one I found cuz it carbon fibre, no magnets or locking mechanism. https://latercase.com/products/airpods-pro-3-thin-case?variant=42973636198486&country=US&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=21169055967&utm_content=185239603876&utm_term=&gadid=773252104452&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21169055967&gbraid=0AAAAACbnQETP-dBh1uUAi4bgbSDW6UFtv&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5onGBhDeARIsAFK6QJbAlr3RKUYgWy_KBGbubkE7iprt3arfO-Sukn841GPIxIfefOYiarEaAqe5EALw_wcB&irclickid=QQnxDpU9yxycUyJ2HdwplVwIUkpwofTFTRcvSk0&sharedid=&irpid=27795&irgwc=1

7. DBrand Grip Case - Probably the best protection and style with a large number of available skins, even leather. No locking mechanism. https://dbrand.com/shop/grip/apple-airpods-pro-3-cases?srsltid=AfmBOoqbbpOgwlyZo74VOliLancyw57JIapC1pTSBszNUehLsh-hKrio

I wish Pitaka would hurry up and make the APP 3 case in cool carbon fibre colors with MagEz tech. Also waiting on a Zero One case from Spigen and an offering from Aulumu. What do you think is the best all around case so far, not too bulky but protective, feels great and has some extra quirks like magsafe? Which one are you most likely to get and which one will you stay away from?
