Apple AirPods have carved out a permanent spot in our pockets. They dominate the wireless headphone game with easy connectivity, great quality and sleek design. In other words, they’re here to stay.
However, AirPods have one drawback that Apple customers are familiar with; they’re not very durable, and the case is quite slippery. This means that clean plastic might scratch, wear or get dropped. And when you’re taking the headphones everywhere, this can be a real problem.
For this reason, many users are turning to protective carrying cases. It keeps your headphones safe while giving them more grip and scoring some style points as well. We think it’s a great idea, so we rounded up 13 of our favorites below. From durable options to colorful (and adorable) designs and more, check out some of the best Apple AirPod cases for 2020.
1. PodSkinz Silicone AirPod Case
BEST OVERALL
If you want a straightforward, well-made AirPod skin, go for this case from PodSkinz. It protects headphones from scratches or small drops without being too bulky in your pocket and has over 3,500 reviews to back up its case (pun intended). Key features include a visible battery light, wireless charging capability and a dust-proof finish.

2. Doboli Airpod Cases (2-Pack)
BEST VALUE
AirPods are expensive, so you might be looking to spend as little as possible on a case. For the budget shoppers, we recommend this two-pack of cases from Doboli. They’re $8 ($4 apiece) making them the most affordable cases we could find. Stash one as a replacement, get a fellow AirPod user to split the cost or gift the second one.

3. Killspencer Keychain Airpods
BEST KEYCHAIN CASE
Instead of carrying your Airpods in your pocket or bag, attach them to your keychain to always have them within arm’s reach. Made from real premium leather with an elegant (and smart) black metal eyelet for extra reinforcement, these AirPod cases won’t lose their luster or wear out over time. With options to cover your 1st Gen, 2nd Gen or Pro AirPods, there’s an option for every type of user.

BEST LEATHER CASE
Leather AirPod cases offer a serious style upgrade over silicone. We like this one from Icarer because it’s made of a premium, genuine leather and has a metal clasp that matches the vintage style. It’s slightly pricer at $20, but for something you’ll use every day, it’s a worthwhile upgrade.

6. Kekilo Airpod Case
BEST METAL CASE
Metal is another good upgrade for AirPod Cases. It’s more durable (thanks to a silicone inner layer) and sleeker, but won’t help much with the slipperiness of AirPods. The case includes ear hooks and a wire that connects the two AirPods (if you’re prone to losing them), as well as a carabiner for attaching to your bag or belt.
