The cases we recommend above are protective covers designed to be used over the charging case that Apple already includes with its AirPods Pro. But if you lose or damage the charging case itself, you can purchase a new one through Apple's Repair and Service platform. At the time of writing, a replacement charging case costs $99. 

You can also buy third-party charging cases, but due to inconsistent quality, we recommend sticking with a replacement directly from Apple and just using case covers for further protection and style.

No, the standard AirPods 4 require different cases and covers. Likewise, the over-ear AirPods Max need a different case. Our guide to the best AirPods Max accessories includes recommendations.

The AirPods Pro 3 use a slightly larger charging case than the AirPods Pro 2, so the new earbuds will require new case covers. Brands like ESR are already offering new case covers designed specifically for the AirPods Pro 3.
