Fulfilling your wish for a style that is a little different from others

BNC Ranking, where you can see actual sales data such as home appliances from the POS data of retailers. Looking at the complete wireless earphone sales ranking for January 2020, released on February 21, you can see that Apple is strong anyway. AirPods and AirPods Pro have more than 30% market share.

Especially the share of AirPods is amazing. A whopping 18.3%. Of course, it's the undisputed number one.

When a single product sells like this, you can't ignore third parties. As the number of iPhone cases and covers has increased, the number of AirPods charging case covers is increasing day by day. When I visited Shenzhen, China last year, I saw an oversized signboard of an AirPods charging case cover wholesaler, and now it has become a selling point product that is also handled at domestic 100 yen uniform shops.

As the number of competitors increased, AirPods charging case cover makers became more elaborate on their designs. With that said, let's get to the point.

The AirPods charging case cover from elago, a gadget maker in California, USA, is masculine and cute. Look, the motifs are Game Boy, Old Mac, and iPod. It looks deformed, but I think you can feel a strong nostalgia there.

The material of the case is silicon. It also seems to be a shock absorbing material when dropped. Also, wireless charging is possible even when used in the AirPods2 Wireless Charging Case, making it easy to use even in day-use situations. Like the Game Boy motif model, models with carabiners can be attached to belt loops of pants or bags.

Amazon, Rakuten, Yahoo! If you search for "AirPods cover" or "AirPods case" in shopping, you can choose from a wide variety of other models. Since the number of products compatible with AirPods Pro is increasing, we would like users to choose their favorite cover.
