The Lander Arete AirPods Pro case is thin and rugged with an IP65 rating for rain, snow and dust. If you take your AirPods Pro wherever you go, this is a great case to protect them from the weather and your adventures.
I love the look of this bag and the small cord makes it easy to pull them out of a deep pocket. In this case, it offers a lot of protection without too much bulk. The clasp keeps this case closed even when you drop your AirPods Pro, but it can be difficult to open at times.
Lander Arete AirPods Pro case $29.95 off-road vehicle and Amazon. Available in black or pink with a cool speckled pattern that looks great and matches the modern yet rugged style of this case.
The case is a one-piece design that provides full coverage, including protecting the hinge. IP65 rating helps protect AirPods Pro from being damaged by rain, snow and dust. This doesn’t make the AirPods Pro waterproof while using it, but it will help keep your AirPods safe if you expose the case to water.
A tight latch keeps the case closed. The case is rated to protect against drops of up to 10 meters. This is a significant bonus if you drop your AirPods frequently. When the case isn’t open, your AirPods can pop out and bounce around, potentially getting lost in a crack or on a trail. The downside to this strong latch is that you now need two hands to open the AirPods Pro case instead of turning the top cover with one hand. I found that squeezing the sides of the AirPods Pro case and pushing the front handle up opened the case most easily.
A seal covers the Lightning port at the bottom. You can easily turn this on to charge or use wireless charging. AirPods Pro continue to charge wirelessly on multiple chargers with this case open, and you can even see the red or green LED on the front. If you need to reset your AirPods without removing the case, you can also press the button on the back.
You can remove the lanyard if you don’t want to use it. I found it very handy during outdoor activities, but it might not be as useful if I was at the office all day. The band is made of Repreve, which is made from recycled ocean plastics.
I really like using a case with the AirPods Pro because the standard white case scratches very easily. My white case has already scratched considerably from half a year of use, and the Lander Arete case hides this while adding protection.
