Spigen's New AirPods Pro 3 Case Is Modeled After the Original Macintosh Mouse

[MacRumors]

Accessory maker Spigen this week expanded its lineup of case options that are designed to look like vintage Apple Macs. The clever new Classic LS AirPods Pro 3 Case resembles a the iconic Apple Macintosh mouse, so it goes well with Spigen's Mac-style iPhone cases.

Priced at $25 from Amazon, the case features the stone color that was used for the Classic Macintosh, along with a gray mouse button. The mouse button is actually a lock that secures the two halves of the AirPods case together when it's closed.

Spigen says that the lock clip buttons are meant to mirror the tactile feel and iconic look of the classic Macintosh mouse. There's a dual material design that includes a polycarbonate interior and a TPU exterior to protect the AirPods, and Spigen added a lanyard to make the accessory easy to carry.

To get to the AirPods Pro 3, you can push on the button to cause the top of the case to swing open. The AirPods are able to wirelessly charge while the case is on, and it has a cutout for a wired USB-C connection. The LED that's on the AirPods case is able to shine through the mouse cover, and it looks like the power light from the original Macintosh mouse.

Spigen also introduced the Classic LS MagFit Card Holder, which joins the Classic LS iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max cases that Spigen released in January 2026. The $30 Classic LS Card Holder was inspired by the Macintosh 128K, featuring a floppy disk-style accent, vintage keyboard details with a "Hello" engraving, and an Apple-like Spigen logo.

According to Spigen, the Card Holder has a strong magnet that ensures a secure attachment to MagSafe-compatible devices and cases. It is able to hold up to three cards, with an open cutout design at the bottom to push them out for easy access. The Card Holder is compatible with all MagSafe iPhones, including the iPhone 12 and later.

Spigen's classic Mac series also includes a lanyard and a set of cases for the iPhone 17 Pro models, with info available on the Spigen website.

I like a bit of nostalgia, but that is ugly as sin.

The wallet isn’t bad though.

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

Perfect for those of us that have been looking for a way to make our Airpods case twice the size!

 

[jz0309]

when I saw the headline my first thought was: yet another expensive accessory ... but at $25, not bad, for those who like these

 

[CalMin]

This is actually very cool. Pity I only have APP2 and not APP3.

It could be a less expensive form of nostalgia. Years ago I sold an Apple Lisa mouse on eBay for $500.

 

[frownface]

unsure if it's to avoid litigation but the mac mouse didn't have a left click button.

From 1984 to the 2010s, the Mac mouse went from pioneer to worst-in-class.

That’s an insane price. Congratulations. I wonder what my Mac SE/30 is worth (still turns on, but not recapped :-(, original keyboard and mouse functioning, but no original box and no original floppies, but do have some version of System 7 original floppies somewhere)

 

[Happy_John]

Someone stuck a picture of this mouse beside a picture of a cyber truck a while back, now it’s burned into my brain :-(

 

[red elma]

Profound nostalgic bulk...

 

[Mr_Ed]

Meh. I’ll wait for the one modeled after the iPhone Pocket.

Ugly? Naaa... it's cool to see a bit of whimsy, maybe you needed to own the original 128 k Mac to fully appreciate it.

 

[DrJR]

absolutely gaudy, egregious, and fatuous…. i love it 🥰

 

[usersince86]

Honestly, pretty cool. (And I had a Mac 512Ke back in 1986)

 

[segfaultdotorg]

A classic. It's truly a shame what the iMouse has become today!

 

[conmee]

I know I’m getting old but I don’t think the mouse had a floppy disk slot on the right side either. 😉

 

[The_Auryn]

"Stone color?!" "Stone color?!?" Are we too woke now to say what it really was: BEIGE! For someone who suffered through twenty years of BEIGE PLASTIC before the arrival of Jony, I won't let others forget! 😆😆😆

 

[svish]

The case for AirPods looks different and nice. However I have never used a case for AirPods and don't think I will buy one now. As for the phone, the case is different, I always prefer to use a clear case.

 

[th0masp]

I know I’m getting old but I don’t think the mouse had a floppy disk slot on the right side either. 😉

Yeah that puzzled me as well. Disk drive slot was placed on the bottom in line with Apple traditions, wasn't it?

 

[Andreas from Zurich]

Someone seemingly had the urge to prove that enshîttification needn’t be limited to digital products.

 

[lapstags]

looks like a medical device

 

[Tim Jobs the 2nd]

Why does an AirPods CASE need a case? Now do i need a case for my case case?

 

[NightFox]

This reminds me of the 1 star review I saw on Amazon for Spigen's Classic LS iPhone case complaining it made their phone look plasticky, which just seemed a couple of steps short of complaining it made their phone look like a Macintosh 128K

 

[Happy_John]

Ugly? Naaa... it's cool to see a bit of whimsy, maybe you needed to own the original 128 k Mac to fully appreciate it.

No, I still have a Macintosh SE/30. Which is a lovely bit of design.

The design style just translates very badly as an AirPods case. As something you are meant to put in your pocket, it looks awful and wouldn't suit its purpose. Form and function have to connect.

Like I said, the card wallet DOES work - it does translate well, because it has "that look" but also functions as a slim card holder, without it being to blocky and lumpy to make it NOT a good card holder. The form complements the function.
