best AirPods Pro 2nd gen USB-C case?

It will be in my pocket A LOT and I don't want to get lint and stuff all over the outside.
Also, a white case is generally super hard to keep clean.
The case protects the AirPods, it's designed to take a beating. Your choice of course, but you really don't need to dress it in a silicone piece of tat that will ironically attract the lint and stuff far more than the actual naked case will.
Guys I didn't ask if I should get a case. I asked what case I should get. I already decided I need a case. My old AirPods got pretty beat up after only like 9 months, and they were in a case.
I like these ones as they also keep the lid of the AirPods case locked shut. My cats knocked off my AirPods case and I lost one pod for months as they tossed it around during the night. I have since bought this case and the case cannot open like that anymore, even if they were to knock it off the table.

I’m searching for one also, preferably with support for Apple Watch magnetic charger.
Let me know if you find one.
I found this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C58KP6WQ
It supports MagSafe, Apple Watch charging, and normal Qi charging. It's pretty good.
I'm after a case too, but even though the USB-C APP2's have been out for a couple of months now, there are still very few cases available on Amazon (or elsewhere) for them?!
The type I want is just a simple plain black rubber-type one. Previously I've bought several from brand "AhaStyle" for previous models of AirPods, but annoyingly haven't been able to find their ones for the newer USB-C APP2's:
APP1: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07ZR9G9W8
APP2 Lightning: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BGH96SN7
AP2: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07QH1FQNT
The only one I found which I tried but had to return as it was poorly made and low quality, was this one:
Surely SOMEONE must do plain rubber-type cases for these things??

I think cases for the Lightning version would work with the USB-C version. The port isn't that much bigger. I would try the Lightning case you found, and you can always return it if it doesn't work.I'm after a case too, but even though the USB-C APP2's have been out for a couple of months now, there are still very few cases available on Amazon (or elsewhere) for them?!

Nope. All the cases have specific issues due to being for Lightning only APP2's.
That's the point, I cannot see any that are simple black rubber-type that work properly with USB-C APP2's.
What the heck are these companies doing, given there are millions of USB-C APP2 owners for them to sell cases to??
EDIT: For example, this one has a Lightning flap, so won't fit a USB-C hole properly:

Well, after another endless search, found this one which got mixed USB-C compatibility reviews which l'm trying:

I have a fancy ALTO case for my original AirPods Pro. Just got my new AirPods Pro 2 and the case fits a treat. But I love the ALTO.
In my instance, the ALTO case for my AirPods Pro works and fits perfectly with the AirPods Pro 2 USB's.
Arrived today and fits pretty well, so I'd advise it's worth getting. The hole is big enough for most USB-C cable plugs, so shouldn't be a problem fitting most of the time (obvs, you have wireless charging as well, anyway).Well, after another endless search, found this one which got mixed USB-C compatibility reviews which l'm trying:

The only thing to note, is the small tool to help remove the bottom half has a bit on the end that you can chop-off using a chef knife to make fit perfectly... took me all of around 10 seconds to solve that.
So finally solved the no case issue for me. Hurray.
I like TPU cases but I really wish the top half of the cases would stay on the AirPods case! It is very loose since there isn't much surface area

Instead of putting your airpods case in your regular pocket, try the little pocket right above the normal sized pocket. Almost all of my pants have this tiny pocket (I always assumed it's for pocket watches?). The airpods fit perfectly in that 5th pocket.
