Ok just got an AirPods max. Anyone want to post feed back on their cases, since apple shipped a booty shorts wannabe useless case. I’m not looking to spend more than $40 on it. I’ve seen some Amazon ones. I prefer something slim and does add bulk.

I have this one. I like it-- cute, protective. But I just don't think you're going to find something that doesn't add bulk, and for that reason, honestly I don't use the case I have. At home, there's just no need-- my APM are basically on my head or on my desk. And when I travel, the case takes up too much room in my carry-on.

Damn true. Ok I’ll keep your recommendations in mind.

Do you use the pad skin to cover the headphone speakers? If so how is it
 
I just ordered this off on amazon. Hopefully they'll arrive on Thursday since I'll be out of town on Friday this week. I thought about getting the waterfield case but I heard that some people were having issues with the magnets interacting with the APM not being able to wake up when they take it out of the case. Decided to go with this since it looks like it can fit with the Apple's smart case and felt a bit more safer than the waterfield case (and a lot cheaper too). I was looking for something that was a bit sturdy, nice looking, and well protective.

I tried using a case, but the way the AirPods Max are designed, the cases are far too large. So I have ended just getting AppleCare+ and using them as they came from Apple.
 
You mean those cover things that come with the case? No-- they're kind of cool, I tried them on-- but they just don't look as good as the naked APM. :) Mine are already green, but shiny.

Yes I think I just might hold off, I don't really foresee taking these APM outside the house too often.

I ordered 3 a while back and did a little write-up:
 
I got the Geekria case.

It's fairly sturdy and it puts the APMs into sleep mode automatically. Like most of these cases, The zipper irritates me, but that might just be me. Most of the time, I just use the bra. I only use the hard case when I leave the house with them.

Thanks I’ll check it out
 
Is there a case where you don’t have to adjust the headband size for the APM to fit?
 
I knew someone would respond with that, lol
The Geekria one I ended up buying from my comparison test allows for storage without compressing the headband.
