AirPods case skin/cover

[kjparfekt]

I love the idea of a skin or wrap for the AirPods to make them black. I wouldn't want it to cover any of the sensors though.

Strongly considering risking the $11 for an order.

I'd be happy to make a vinyl of her initials like I did the ribbon on mine, if you'd like.

I ordered the same black one from ebay last Monday and I'm still waiting for it to ship. Guess it's on the slow boat from China they always talk about!

Check out SlickWraps

much better than painter's tape.

Looking to order the black to match my AirPods to my Jet Black iPhone. If I can get them soon I'll post a review.

I've had awful luck with SlickWraps in the past, but I'm willing to give this a go. I'll let you know.

interestingly enough, slickwraps never shows installed pics, always renders. I'd love to see how these really look in person, getting it to wrap around contours takes time and skill, not something everyone can do easily. Why not post actual photos of them installed??

Thought the same thing. I've got no experience with slickwraps products, but feel like I've heard they are hit and miss.

because they are a crappy and deceitful company (and they never ship what you order from them!)

These things exists at least: https://grfxp.myshopify.com/collections/apple-overlays/products/apple-airpod-stalk-overlays

I like how these look (based on the pictures on their site). But ya... $5 shipping? That seems a bit much. You'd think it was small enough they could stick it in an envelope with a first class stamp!?

I have an ulterior motive. If I can copy the design, I can make them myself with my Silhouette.

Wow thanks great price. I want this to minimize the q-tip look lol. Black all the way

It seems like this would be a tough business. What stops one company from simply doing a high quality scan of another's skin then using that for their own vinyl cuts?

Haha! But there are some companies that just DESERVE to have it done to them!

Just got it today! 16 days later. Good case though. I really like it. Airpods case fits nice and snug and I can charge it with the case on. Good quality leather too.

I just bought the Matte White so it didn't look too different while adding a little scratch protection, but I will upload before and after when I install.
[doublepost=1484785952][/doublepost]Guys I just found this company called PodPockets. They just liked one of my instagram posts after I posted my new AirPods today so I thought I would share. It offers the functionality that Slevin was looking for.

I like the look of those podpockets

Well.....I got my Slickwraps. Typical, is all I can say.

The pieces that cover the case are adequate. They fit ok, and don't interfere with opening/closing the case.



The pieces for the earpieces, are another matter. The fit is awful. On the right piece, the cutouts are nowhere close, although the left piece fits much better. I don't understand that big a difference.

The fit is so bad, that there is a lot of vinyl left at the top, making it both look awful, and difficult to close the lid of the case.



From the picture, you can see how the center holes are perfectly aligned, but there is nothing under the far right opening.

The wrap around the stem is just fine. I have since removed the top, and just left the wrap on the stems.
