Elago silicone cases for AirPods Pro 2

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.
