Make Your AirPods Case Look Like a Game Boy With This New Cover

[MacRumors]

Elago has released a new cover for the AirPods charging case with a retro design inspired by Nintendo's iconic Game Boy.

Available in Light Gray or Black, the cover is made of flexible, impact-resistant silicone material with an anti-slip coating, giving the AirPods charging case some added protection. It is also equipped with a carabiner, allowing it to be attached to a keychain or a backpack or so forth when on the go.

The cover is compatible with both the first- and second-generation AirPods charging case, but not the AirPods Pro case. Elago says the cover does not interfere with wireless charging functionality.

The cover is available for $10.99 to $12.99 on Amazon and Elago.com.

Pretty cute. I think Airpod cases are kinda silly but if I bought one that'd probably be it.

 

[NMBob]

How can they allow such skewmorphism?

 

[amiantos]

Wow, never thought I would like an AirPods case, but this one I do. Wish there was an AirPod Pro version, but the wider case would throw off the whole design I think. Too bad

 

[Starfia]

finally!!! i can make my hat, my car and my dog look like a game boy

The Pokeball seems to have entered the witness protection program to avoid takedown notices from the Pokemon Company, and is now known only as “Elf Ball”

maybe there will be a switch version lol

aww. the top piece and bottom aren't connected.

As some point the top will lose its tackiness and it will just slide off. boooooooooooooooooooooooo

I’d be all over this without the carabiner loop.

 

[cosmic68]

Ha! That’s cute. I like it, but I imagine you won’t be able to see the front LED light of wireless case with this?

 

[Herrpod]

I'd prefer to have a gameboy that my AirPods can connect too.

This Product probably strikes a ‘tech nerds’ inner core. (Yes, I’m one of those nerds.)😁 I like the throwback GameBoy look and it conceals their AirPods. Simply because the AirPods are so boring looking, this gives it a little bit of ‘fun factor’ to it.

So with all of the plastic, degrading to micro plastic, pollution in the world... someone actually thinks we need MORE plastic to cover an already plastic, non-recyclable thing? Vote with your dollars and boycott these guys.

 

[AngerDanger]

GamePods?

AirBoys

Silicone doesn’t degrade into micro plastic.

I bought this - it was great for about a week until it wouldn't stay on anymore. Then it was pretty useless. It seems that the silicone or whatever they use loses it's grip after a short time in a pocket.

This is awesome.
