Aipods pro - anyone else have trouble getting out of case?

[Steve28]

Is anyone else having trouble grabbing them out of the case? I can't seem to get a good grip and seem to have to "pry" with fingernails...

Same here. The very first thing I noticed after I opened it.

Stick your finger in the lid grooves/holes where the tops of the airpods usually are when closed. Then pull the airpods towards you.

Steve Jobs never would have allowed something like this.

This actually works pretty well! Thanks

the fact there is a 'need' for this subject, says enough...

The irony here is that the case design is almost ingenious. No pinching or grabbing the Airpods is needed. Simply slide them out with one finger.

Amazing now simplicity stumps so many people.

Yeah, amazed I can still breathe on my own.

You are holding the case wrong!

I wonder for how long.

yup, pain in the butt to get out

It's actually pretty easy to get them out. Just push them towards you with your index-finger and they slide right out

Works well! No more pinching. It’s easier to pick out than gen 1/2 now.

Noticed this as well, it's like I need to do a little bit of "prying" to get it out. Minor annoyance only. As mentioned above, pushing it out by the side is easier since there is a space where your finger can slide a little bit in.

Was a problem until this post solved it

You're right. They're easier to take out than the original Airpods.

I see now that this is by design, looking at how the channel in the case is shaped. It's obvious now after you pointed it out. I was surprised Apple made this so fiddly to take out, but of course Apple is too OCD for something like this.

Not so, it looks like the way you roll them over the sharp edge would overtime damage the side that it’s being rolled on? I sure don’t want an edge that looks like it’s been sandpapered after awhile...
