You’ve gone and done it. You sprang for a set of Apple’s hip new wireless AirPods. Now begins a new era of constant worry that you might lose one of the tiny (and expensive) earbuds. It doesn’t have to be that way, though.

One way to keep your peace of mind and your new earbuds is with a PodPocket. It’s a caddy for your AirPods. PodPockets enshrine the easy-to-loose earbuds in a stylish silicone cube that can be kept in your bag or secured to a keychain.

This isn’t the kind of cheap accessory you’d find at a gas station. Pick up a PodPocket and it becomes immediately clear that they’re designed with an eye toward form and function. They’re precision-molded from high-quality silicone, so the fit is snug. Additionally, an open access port along the bottom lets you charge the AirPods while they’re stowed.

A PodPocket AirPods case keeps your earbuds safe

When you invest in high-quality tech, it’s worth a little extra scratch to prevent it from getting damaged or lost. Especially for an accessory that’s as quick to be pulled out of an ear or put away in a pocket.

AirPods are the kind of peripheral that seems destined, if not designed, to easily get lost. And losing your AirPods means losing more than $150. So, if you’ve just picked up a set, or intend to, you might as well make it part of your daily routine to keep them in a place that’s safe and easily found.

PodPocket bills itself as “the ultimate home for your AirPods.” They go for $19.95, and come in a range of cool colors (including limited-edition offerings like Camo and Technicolor). We think that’s well worth it, considering a PodPocket can save you some serious cash (and a big headache).
