Bye bye EarPods case [MERGED]

Well, in fairness, I haven't read a single thread on this forum that is a "bigger issue" than the loss of property and life in Gatlinburg and the surrounding areas.
By your logic, no one should be posting anything today.

They're referred to as "EarPods."

There are absolutely ZERO iDevice discussion topics which aren't "first world problems." Why are you here if not to discuss them?
Watch your step. The first one off your high horses is a doozy.

And yet you have started a thread complaining about Apple keyboards being too small. Pot meet kettle
And the other bloke complaining has almost 50 posts in an iPhone 7 preorder/shipping thread.And yet you have started a thread complaining about Apple keyboards being too small. Pot meet kettle

Comical isn't it

My Xperia XZ came with earphones packaged the same way as the iPhone USB cable. Unless the case is usable in the field, which the old iPhone one generally wasn't, then the cases are just luxury packaging. Someone in this thread has already mentioned the old Sony and Sennheiser wind-up cases...now they were cool. These days it's best to go with a cheap jewellery pouch off Ebay.
For every person like the OP there are 100 who just take the headphones out of the box and throw the box away (I'm one of them). I'm Ok with Apple being a bit more green by using different materials for the packaging.
If it was actually done for 'green' purposes and not just to increase profit. Some people don't like change and a perceived drop in quality or value for money. Having said that, I don't give a monkeys because I don't use earbuds.
Apple's famous pretty white wire sheathing is pretty fragile. We've had to replace a lot of various cords and yes, my kids in particular have killed a number of sets of earpods..

Thanks for offering some info that was relevant and I appreciate your support re: those who seem to only want to derail an otherwise simple discussion.
I like the people saying the case was useless/difficult to use ergo its useless for everyone else.
I used the case all the time, I found it extremely convenient and it took me all of 15 seconds to get the EarPods in when I was done. I like the fact I could put them in the case and chuck them in my backpack without worrying about tangling.
In fact I would probably spend more time detangling cable than putting them back in the case!
Clearly I am not the norm....

I always put my headphones away in the case. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. So don't speak for everyone just b/c you are too lazy to use the carrying case that came with the headphones.
If 15 seconds is an obscene amount of time to you, I feel bad for you. You must have no patience.

I hate when companies go "green" when it comes to plastic. It makes everything feel either cheep or lacking in quality when you go "green."
