The BEST and TOUGHEST cases for the AirPod and AirPod Pro - Dozens reviewed!

What’s the best case to go with your AirPod or AirPod Pro’s? In the last while, I’ve gone and purchased dozens of cases and used them all. And dropped them all. With actual AirPod’s. That was painful to do…

BUT out of all that, here’s the top 5 out of the 24+ cases I’ve used in the last few months.

#1 Catalyst Waterproof (Get it on Amazon: https://mreh.ca/3cudI8e)
#2 Spigen Slim Armor IP (Get in on Amazon: https://mreh.ca/2xUqOg5)
#3 Mous AirPods Case (Get a discount using the code: MobileReviewsEh2005-20PG at www.mous.co!)
#4 Nomad Active Rugged Case (https://mreh.ca/2WFVR7C)
#5 UAG Hardshell Case (Get it on Amazon: https://mreh.ca/3dxCxjY)

That’s the 40 second power ranking for the impatient. Check out the rest of the Top 10 below (with details!)

I will add that my scoring system skews heavily towards the protection of the AirPods. Which is my, despite my personal disdain the UAG Silicone Case, it’s still #8. I factor EVERYTHING into my scoring system, including # of color choices, materials and handling. Monty’s pretty comprehensive like that.

#10 Fintie Leather Case (3.4) - 00:01:49

If you’re looking to carry your AirPod’s in a leather-looking pouch, the best one I’ve used is the Fintie Leather Case.

BUT accessing the buds of your AirPod’s is going to be painful as the leather cover gets in the way of the AirPod cases’s cap. So that’s great.

#9 Spigen Tough Armor AirPod Pro Case (3.4) - 00:02:25

This silicone case has one of the most aggressive silicone finishes I’ve ever seen in my years of reviewing!

The Spigen Tough Armor does offer better drop protection than other cases as the giant corners mutes the “buds come flying out” portion of a drop.

#8 UAG Silicone Case (3.4) - 00:03:09

I don’t like this case. It looks silly. BUT it’s one of the few cases that will generally prevent the buds from flying out of the AirPod’s charging case during a drop. That’s the only reason why it cracks the Top 10 list.

#7 SupCase Battle Pods (3.4) - 00:03:52

Out of all the cases I’ve used, the SupCase has the largest portability enhancement feature. BUT I have no idea what it’s for. I’d call it a wrist strap but it’s too small to go on my wrist and it has these two metal loops that seem to have no useful purpose other than to give my fingers something to play with.

#6 Caseology Vault (3.5 out 5) - 00:04:50

The Vault has a nice texture, not quite as aggressive as a normal silicone case which is why it scores higher than its cousin, the Spigen Tough Armor and the other cousin that nobody wants to talk about, the Spigen Rugged Armor.

#5 UAG Apple AirPods Hardshell case (3.5 out of 5) - 00:05:45

At minimum the case will be able to handle a 4 foot drop, but it could likely handle up to five to six feet although not explicitly stated. During our testing, the top of the case popped off about six out of 10 drops we did -- BUT it stopped the buds from flying out.

#4 Nomad Active Rugged Case (3.7 out of 5) - 00:06:40

Just to clarify, I’m talking about the Active Rugged version, not the normal version of the case. The normal version of the case had a cap that came off WAY too easily which made this a silly product to buy given it’s price tag.

The leather on this case is highly water resistant and will won’t show the usual patina you’d find on normal leather products. The leather is wrapped around a PC shell is going to provide a decent amount of protection for your device.

#3 Mous AirPods (3.8 out of 5) - 00:07:32

Out of all the products on this list, the Mous AirPods case is going to provide the best protection for your buds as your expensive tiny white ear speakers is cradled in a layer of AiroShock, a TPE-like material and a polycarbonate shell. Too bad the case doesn’t keep the cap on during a drop. Your buds are going to fly everywhere.

#2 Spigen Slim Armor IP (4.7 out of 5) - 00:08:40

In fact, the Slim Armor bears an eery resemblance to the best case on this list, the Catalyst Waterproof. To access the case, you need to peel the case back like a banana.

#1 Catalyst Waterproof (4.8 out of 5) - 00:09:43

I would say the Catalyst Waterproof case for the AirPod is the OG AirPod case. The Catalyst case is going to provide the most drop and water protection for your AirPod’s.

Accessing the buds is similar to the Slim Armor IP because you get to peel the case like a banana.

So that’s the Top 10. So after all those drops? Do my Apple AirPod Pro’s still work? They do. Just as well as they did before starting this review….
