If you bought or plan to buy Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro, now’s the time to protect your fabulous wireless noise-cancelling earbuds. Elago’s got new clear or colorful cases — in clear polyurethane or colorful silicone — plus a handy strap to help you protect your buds against damage or loss.
The strap and four cases, two with a metal clip and two without, are all super-affordable right now in the Cult of Mac Store.
Unlike many mass-produced, generic accessories, Elago’s cases are designed in house from scratch, from concept to finished product. The company said that helps ensure you get a case that fits, protects against drops and looks great.
Many complaints about cases focus on a poor fit that puts the item at risk. But Elago makes its silicone AirPods Pro 2 cases with its own 3D mold. That helps the case fits like a glove and preserve all of the Apple case’s functions, like wireless charging, so they work perfectly.
You can get the silicone case in a regular version or as a “hang case” with a metal clip. And you have a choice of several colors.
Premium silicone material protects your charging case from everday use, including dirt, oil, scratches and drops. Silicone also provides great grip and a slim profile, allowing it to fit easily in your pocket.
All products described here are compatible with AirPods Pro 2nd generation. Elago products ship to the U.S. only.

Most complaints about clear cases are that the color fades or the case turns yellow over time. Elago’s cases alway shine, the company said. As the case is made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), the yellowing effect takes longer with continued use.
And you never worry about smudges, thanks to Elago’s innovative micro dot pattern on the case. And you can also customize your case by adding stickers.
Like the silicone cases, the clear cases come in regular and “hang case” versions with a metal clip.

The new charging case compatible with AirPods Pro 2 now includes a lanyward loop where you can attach a lanyard or strap. The new addition allows for extra security when carrying your device around. The well-tested Elago R1 strap fits the bill.
The R1 Strap has been used for more than 6 years by Elago customers on cases for remotes. The strap secures a smart remotes to your wrist while moving aggressively, like during gaming, and it will do the same for your AirPods Pro 2 case.
The Elago’s R1 Strap is made from durable fabric and includes a part that allows you to adjust the loop on the strap. That helps keep the strap secure wherever it’s attached.
