I now have the 12 south leather case and really like it. It is compact and secure, basically perfect.
Broke down and ordered one. Agree: secure, nice fit, handy clip is secure and not a cheap carabiner, wrist loop (not sure how I would use that other than making it mor findable).

Still waiting for mine. I emailed and got the following canned response:

"As advised by our fulfilment team, we are currently fulfilling all pre-orders of Premium Waterproof Case for AirPods Pro. We kindly ask you to wait a few more days for your order to be fulfilled and shipped."

So I'll keep waiting.



anyone that preordered the catalyst case receive any updates? I haven't heard anything. (I order the premium blue... )

Catalyst Premium edition in red colour arrived yesterday. Seems quality, except for carabiner. Carabiner isnt trash, but not something of exceptional quality either. Mediocre actually.

ALAS THE METALLICA CASE HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN RELEASED BY INCASE!

[automerge]1581008004[/automerge]

How is the fit on the AirPods? does it feel like the case will slip off easily? and is there a plastic inner shell?

The problem with the inner plastic shell is that it can scratch the AirPod case. Happened to my first set of AirPods. Silicone cases won't scratch the case.

Are the Nomad cases any good?
[automerge]1581167516[/automerge]

Does the Nomad case actually protect it from drops?

I have dropped my air pods twice since getting the case and it has protected it! The leather didn’t get all messed up either. Good case I’m keeping it

How do you find the pro's?
Debating if I should get them or the cheaper Jaybird Vista's

I didn't know this, but the nomad cases, which were plastic for the regular AirPods, have a microfiber lining for the AirPods pro! makes me want it even more now

The Nomad case is really nice. Its got a black plastic stripe around the circumference, and the rest is Horween leather which I have boots made out of. The leather ages beautifully, and it offers protection, and looks great!

How do you clean the actual AirPods from wax, dirt, dust etc...
[automerge]1581513906[/automerge]
I have both. I love the vistas and feel that the fit is a bit better but the noise canceling on the pros is too compelling and makes them the hands down winner!
You know when youre listening to the Pro's, how loud do you have the volume when noise cancelling is on?

Also do you use noise cancelling all the time or only when you're in noisy environments?

Amazon has Catalyst cases in stock and ready to ship.

Ordered one with Prime of course and no complaints. I saw some negative reviews, but mine is nice and tight. I got red because of the lint issue.

I prefer it a lot over the Spigen Rugged Armour.

Just got the Twelve South case. It's a little stiff right now, but I like the look of it, and think I will like it more as the leather softens. I was using the Catalyst case but I found the method of opening the case to be too much of a hassle - very hard to do one-handed.

This UAG case looks pretty protective/cool.

Looks great. Doesn't placing the caribeaner on the lid pose a problem such as when you want to take out the AirPods themselves? Never thought about that design being ideal.

I took the carabiner off straight away as it is cumbersome. Instead, when I want to attach it to my keys I use a mini one on my keyring, same for my car keys.

I got this case from amazon. It has a metal shell with a silicone lining on the inside. It’s very solid. I love it!

I take it that there's no wireless charging with this case?

What's the point of protecting inner part of case with black sticker? Doesn't that cause more problem down the line when the glue comes out and ruin the case and airpods?
