Spigen cases are now on Amazon. The bad news: available late November, early December.
I looked around on their website but could not find the pre-order for the AirPods case. Perhaps they pulled the option?
Definitely this .Must have dropped my charging case out of my pocket and then lost it. An expensive mistake which has not been repeated since got a cheap case with keychain that keeps it attached to my keys.
Looked at the ESR and was tempted (mainly because it was the only one) but looks like they jumped the gun in terms of dimensions as early reviews on Amazon say it's not a great fit so glad I've managed to hold off and wait until they're produced after someone's actually got hold of the case.
Can someone explain to me why a case for the case is needed? I carry my case in either my backpack or a zippered pocket.
Thanks for this post/review. Just stopped me from buying this. And I was close to doing so. But had concerns about the extra loop of material. I don’t want or need the loop. But to know the material is flimsy helped me not deal with any of it.
I don’t do it for protection, I do it so that I can attach a Tile to them. I lose stuff constantly.
The ESR Silicone case seems poorly designed and has an unusually large number of negative amazon reviews. I am avoiding. Will keep the case in a sunglass bag or similar until a good alternative is available. Having lost my first generation AirPods due to the ease of slipping out of a pocket, I like a thin silicone case for the added grip, and have been using one with the AirPods 2 I replaced them with. Much more secure and avoids wear and tear on the case. The case for my Sony WfXM3’s has a soft touch coating which solves this sort of thing. The fact that it is positively enormous compared to the APP case also helps in that regard.
The ESR case has a really loose fitting lid cover. It will come off every time you open the AirPods Pro case. I’ve ordered a generic carrying case from Amazon with dimension slightly larger than the AirPods case than I can clip on my keys or bag and not worry about getting them banged up. Definitely will be trying the dbrand skins for personalization.
I bought the ESR case at the same time I preordered the Pro’s. As others have said the lid portion is poorly designed due to the hinge providing too much tension. It forces the lid to move around or pop off when you open it. I had to do some surgery and remove the hinge and now it works fine.
Good idea, I just did the same. It's temporary and will be going back within 30 day Amazon return period. This is a good example of a company destroying it's reputation producing a product off of leaks and not confirming specs to make a quick buck. In the long run, ESR will suffer from this.
I ordered the ESR translucent case in black. It is supposed to come today. In the product description it said it had a “hingeless design”. Hopefully that version will work like your modified case.
“HINGELESS DESIGN – A hingeless, two-part design allows your case to open completely, providing quick and easy access to your AirPods and the pairing button.”

Another bunch of extremely negative reviews for that item, and it looks like it has been pulled from Amazon- shows as currently unavailable.

They pulled the ESR one that I bought too. Hopefully next week more cases will be out that actually fit now that they have the Pro’s in hand.
Can't believe they've not released any others yet. I really hope we'll get a similar case to this One that I bought for my original Airpods.

Really well made, good quality and has left my original Airpods like new...
Be great to see any other cases which are released over the next few days...
I might buy that cheap one on Amazon and return it when a decent one is released!

While I wait for people to start releasing cases that actually fit I’ve discovered that my old AirPod case works nicely as a temporary stop-gap by turning the charger on it’s side and then it fits very snuggly into the old one.

Same here re: using an old one. I have one that had a little upper compartment separated by a band of elastic to keep pods covers in (bc I couldn’t wear the old ones without them). I snipped the band out to make it all one compartment, and the size is perfect— just sideways. But at least I have a way to attach a tile to them.
When I find the case again that is. I literally didn’t make it 24 hours. I put the AirPods in downstairs, went upstairs, and for the life of me I cannot find the crease.

I did the same. It will hold me over until NOMAD releases a case.

I've just had an e-mail from the makers of the case and they've said that their Pro version will be out next week. Hurrah!
