Apple’s $249 AirPods Pro 2 haven’t been around for long, but we’re already seeing cases designed to help protect the new charging case while still allowing you to take advantage of the new loop and speaker.
Apple made it possible to locate your second-generation AirPods Pro if you lose the wireless earbuds, the charging case, or both, but protecting your purchase from accidental drops and scratches is still up to you.
Below, you’ll find our top picks for cases to help keep your AirPods Pro safe and sounding good, as well as a selection of extra cords so you never lose your new buds.
$29.99 $18.99 on Amazon
Spigen’s AirPods Pro 2 Ultra Hybrid Case is completely clear and features a circular carabiner for easy attachment to your belt or a hook inside your backpack. There’s still a cutout for the new cord loop on the AirPods Pro 2 case, and according to Spigen’s website, the case will still work with wireless chargers.

Looking for something a little tougher than the Ultra Hybrid? The Spigen Rugged Armor AirPods Pro Case looks a lot like Spigen’s Rugged Armor Case for the iPhone 14, only smaller. The Rugged Armor comes in black and has a matching carabiner. The case is a combination of plastic and silicon that should provide more than enough protection for your AirPods Pro.
From $29.90 at Dbrand
Dbrand is mostly known for its skins that offer minimal protection, but a lot of customization. However, Dbrand’s AirPods Pro 2 case looks amazing. It’s got military-grade impact resistance, but it’s not too bulky, and it includes something every AirPods Pro case should have: a built-in removal tool. I’m always afraid I’ll break the case, my AirPods, or both when I try to remove a case. Oh, and you can still choose your own design to spice up the box.
$24.95 at Speck
Speck’s Presidio Clear Case will ensure you can still see your engraved AirPods Pro Charging Case while adding a layer of protection. Don’t bother getting your own lanyard for the new charging case, as Speck didn’t offer a cutout for it. However, there is a clip on the case that you can use instead.
$24.95 at Speck
The Speck Presidio case with a soft-touch coating comes in black, although the listing calls it black with shiny silver. However, the outside of the box has a coating that makes it soft and smooth to the touch. One downside is that the holster doesn’t seem to have a cutout for the charging case lanyard loop, but it does include its own carabiner which should suffice.
$15.99 on Amazon
For something even more affordable, check out the Elago Clear Case. For $16, you get the clear case and an adhesive strip that is used to attach the top of the case to the charging case for your AirPods Pro. It’s a minimal case that will definitely do the job, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
$12.95 at Apple
Apple only lists a single accessory for the second-generation AirPods Pro on its website, and it’s not a case. Instead, it’s the Incase Lanyard that looks like a great option for keeping your AirPods Pro attached to your backpack or just giving you something to hold on to during a workout. The lanyard clip makes it easy to attach the lanyard to things like a belt or backpack and then remove it effortlessly. If you’re not getting a case (or you’re using a model with a cutout, like the Spigen and Elago options above), the lanyard is a wise choice.
