Just got some APM2 and they are great, but Apple continuing to ship the bra case is peak Tim Apple. I have a slim backpack that I carry my laptop in, and the APM fit, but I have to carefully put them in there as the bra case will get caught on literally anything with the incredibly stupid open bottom design. I also love how the cable cutout isn't even properly aligned so I often end up squeezing the case between the cord and the cable when plugging in. Not to mention the fact that when putting the case inside another bag, the headphones end up adjusting size because you are pushing from the headband. IMO it is a worse design than even the upside down mouse charging, as this is something you deal with every day, and not once every 6 months.

That said - does anyone have a case they like? I'm looking at the Waterfield case and it seems like it might be the best option, but of course it is a bit pricy. My main priority is "flatness", I want it to be as slim as possible, the width and height aren't much of a concern.

Glad I saw this thread. I like the Waterfield case. I think I may order it.

Edited to add: Ordered the Chocolate Canvas model.

The waterfield cases aren’t easily available in the UK, and i’m not sure i’m a fan of the rustic look.

Might get a cheap item on Amazon and see how that works out, the Spigen one looks pretty good for £20.
 
I bought the Spigen. It's nice. But it's HUGE! I think it will be awkward getting them in and out on a crowded train. Good protection however, though I can imagine they trap heat in the summer.

Damn, I ordered it and waiting for Amazon to deliver it tomorrow - oh well, I’ll start with it and see how it goes. At least it was cheap!

UPDATE: The Spigen case, is great but quite large….AND, i’m actually quite liking the ‘bra’ case that the APS come with actually. I realise this is contentious, but genuinely it does what I need it to and they fit in my bag perfectly…

I got the Waterfield AirPods Max Shield Case is blue leather and it is pure class. Love it!

I'll add that I have a number of products from waterfeild including a steam deck case, a sling bag and a pack pack. They have all had excellent build quality.
 
We’re looking for the slimmest case options.

WaterField case fails

1) it’s too chunky
2) appears to have been styled in the 90s

Received the Waterfield case today and it is very nice. It is well padded offering lots of protection in addition to storage space for charger and cord and a few other incidentals.
