Is this normal? There is a little play in the lid of the case where it moves left and ride making a click.
Got a tip for us?

That's normal. I've had mine since launch day and it's done that from the start.
Mine has also always done it. I put a cheap rubber cover on it that I bought off amazon and that keeps it from making the noise (and protects the case).
According to this thread (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/airpods-2-wireless-charging-case-lid-misaligned.2175469/), it sounds like one guy was able to have his replaced for a pair that was perfectly aligned and didn't click.
My Airpods 2 (with wireless charging case) also clicks when moved side to side whether the lid is opened or closed
So far, I've read several forum posts here and on Reddit about the gen 1 cases and more recently the gen 2 cases exhibiting the same clicking sound when the lid is moved side-to-side.
It's a little annoying and unApple like but from all what I've read, it seems normal.
I passed by the Apple Store and I was told it was normal. Compared it with a unit they had on hand and it clicked as well.
I've read only one instant for each generation of case where the lid didn't click but those might be the ones with issues lol
