Pad & Quill Debuts New Leather Cases for AirPods Max and AirPods Pro

[Pasqualem]

All this because they couldn't make a decent case to come with it, and something called a power button.

Being an actual owner of airpods max, I still see no reason for a power button. They turn on when on your head and off when not. To have to remember to turn it on and off every time would not be helpful one bit. Do your AirPods Pro have a power button? No. Not necessary.

I don't know why but this is triggering me a lot.

This brand seems to get heavy coverage on this site. Personally not a fan of any of their products. In the context of them alway popping up here, I am wondering if I am the odd one out.

You're not. I get how MacRumors needs this sort of stuff to bring in revenue, but sometimes they list adverts that just seem ridiculous.

You have too be kidding! $130 plus tax by the time the dust settles along with the staggering over priced head pots. Crazy! You need to have money to burn to get this setup. Yowzers!

So don’t buy either. Lol

Do Pad & Quill have a really good PR team, or does MacRumors (and 9to5Mac) have a long-standing agreement to promote their wares?

I would say both, but I am swaying towards the monetized endorsements.

The day I see someone carrying their AirPods Pro in this teeny-tiny briefcase with the handle held in between their fingers is the day I can die in peace.

So, I have to chime in and say that, though I don’t like all of P&Qs products from a design standpoint, they are very high quality and have excellent customer service. I have had one of their wallet cases in the past, and I just bought a wallet from them this past Christmas. They’re really a great company. Their bags are super expensive, so I probably won’t ever be getting one of those. I’m sure they’re made very well though.

LOL, no, because they are only charged/stored in the charging case.

I use my APM only occasionally, but enjoy them when I do. I use my Airpod Pros every day for hours for calls, so it's great they are always ready. I'd prefer waiting for the APMs to power up when I do want to use them over having to think about battery charge levels, so I would like the ability to power them off. Apple already put two buttons on it; just program in the functionality and people who want them always on can simply ignore that functionality.

This will look great on my horse. Will get one as a feed bag and balance with one on the other side for musket balls. Now I just have to figure out where to keep my AirPods Max.

I'm rarely put afoul by the lifestyles or perceived excess of others.

But if you're got the disposable coin for this entire mash up (headset and case) I seriously doubt we could take a subway ride together.

That tiny case is so cute! Trying...hard...not...to...tap...Apple Pay...proceed...to...checkout...

I’m really happy with my Space Gray APM & the black case for them from Apple. In black the case looks nice, and I love how quick it is to slide them in & get them charging. I won’t be looking for a different case...

"Pad & Quill" How faux-retro hipster!
