Rugged elegance is what I like to call this case. Its rawhide style design evokes a bit of a "cowboy out west" vibe. It comes in a variety of colors, including a nice burnished red, and an embossed Burkely logo.

Leather capsule Burkely AirPods Case
Looking like a pillbox from the 1800s, the Burkley is unique. While most cases are molded to fit the AirPods Case, this one takes a few liberties with the design. If you like a straight edge here and there, get this in either brown or black.

Fidget Spinner ZenPod
We all do it; snap the AirPods case open and shut, fidgeting about without even realizing it. The ZenPod is the perfect case for satisfying your need to fidget with a spinner built-in. Just flick your case round-and-round while you're chatting with friends. It's mesmerizing.

My personal favorite
If you want to add a little style and a lot of protection to your AirPods or AirPods 2 Charging Case, these are the best-in-class. There's something on this list for everyone - every case has its perks, but if you want to know my personal faves...
I keep my AirSnap AirPods case with me at all times, and it's never lost because it's clipped to my bag. It's even got a cutaway so I can see the charging status light on the AirPods 2.
If you're trying to save a couple of bucks, I recommend the Lightning Power Pouch. It's got that gamer look to it, and it'll protect your AirPods Charging Case without taking up to much space.
