AirPods stuck in a hard case

[Afiaaa]

My airpods are stuck in a hard case. They are the AirPods 2 with wireless charging accidentally placed inside the non charging case. Even the lid won’t open. It is A hard plastic case please help me get them out.View attachment 877461

I would use a hacksaw on one of the bottom edges of the case and saw gently through until the white or yiur case is visible. That should release enough pressure to slide it out. Or you could cover the head of a small flat head screwdriver covered with a micro fibre towel and use that to push the case out by applying gentle pressure on the plastic where the charging point is

From the photo I’m having a hard time seeing what the problem is.

Or try to finesse dental floss in there and stretch the case? Hard to tell by this pic.

Or gently warm it up. The AirPods are tolerant to higher temps. I read people left them in a 120 degree car and it was fine. It might loosen the cheap case's plastic. Either way, using a saw or higher temps will blemish the Airpods' case.

Any chance you could get some baby oil between the pods case and the outer case? Maybe it would allow the case to slide out easier.

For any rubber/silicone case, have a heater or put it on something hot (hairdryer, stove, fire, etc) to heat up the case. This will make the case expand and make it easy to take off. Your AirPod charging case will be okay as long you don't make it extremely hot. No scratch or dent for me if you do this properly. When you get a good grip, wiggle it around and it will come out.
For plastic or hard case, use a charging cable to push it out, or try to have something hard. Else, watch this video at 5:20:
