Catalyst Total Protection Case for AirPods Pro 2nd Generation Case - Waterproof, and Shockproof Rugged Full Body Case for AirPods Pro 1 and AirPods Pro 2, Secure Locking System Case with Carabiner

This case is perfect for Gen1 and Gen2 AirPod Pros. I finally purchased mine after having on my Amazon list for two years, and I regret not buying it sooner. I’ve tried three other cases from various companies that were slightly more affordable, and they were “okay,” I suppose. But none checked all the boxes like this one does.Durability, versatility, longevity, accessibility, water-proof, cost, and amount of pocket space occupied are the main criteria that drove my searches.Although it’s twice as expensive as many of the other options you see listed out there, the benefits it provides are worth every single penny. More time and money was wasted trying to get by with cheaper (and highly inferior) products rather than investing in this one from the start. Plus, I finally feel confident that my $250 AirPods, which I use daily, are now fully protected. Peace of mind goes a long way.This Catalyst case fits AirPod Pros like an absolute glove. Not an OJ Simpson glove, mind you. They‘re nestled perfectly in this thing thanks to a silicone pouch within the hard casing, which not only acts to secure the Apple case from easily sliding out, but also protects against impacts and won’t scratch it up. No glue or adhesives required! The Apple case won’t fall out, even if turned upside down and jostled with the Catalyst case open. But it’s not so tight that it’s difficult to take out the Apple case at any point in (literally) three seconds. You can slide it right back into the Catalyst case in a fraction that time.The latching mechanism is great. Easy to open and even easier to close, which is exactly how it should be.I love that you can still see the front charge light, have access to the back reset button, can charge the AirPods wirelessly, or easily pull back the bottom gasket and plug in the charge cord directly; all without sacrificing the durability and protection the Catalyst case offers.My only concern is the carabiner/lanyard attachment point. It’s a natural stress point, so I’d prefer if it were made out of something more durable than polycarbonate. I don’t yet know if it will break easily. And, although I don’t intend to rely on it at all, I’d still feel more comfortable if made from a material with higher tensile strength. However, I can’t deduct marks over it at this moment because time will tell.Even with that one slight concern, this is overwhelmingly the best case I’ve ever seen. By far.The provided photos include items also carried commonly in pockets for size reference. And because they all match.Excelsior!**Update 11/27/23: This case is still going strong. The only issue I’ve had with it was with the carabiner I was originally concerned about. It didn’t break, so I’m not removing a star for it; I just had a hard time trusting it and ended up swapping it out with a $3 aluminum carabiner instead.

Phenomenal case, waterproof, durable, protects my airpod pros (gen 1)It has clear display of the light when charging and has a reset button built into case so you don’t have to take it out. The charging cables all fit the opening and it doesn’t hinder you being able to get a cable in there.

There is simply no competition to this product. It is the single most practical, toughest, and easily highest quality case that exists for storing your Airpods Pro. The build quality is top notch, and the tolerances all around are extremely tight. The seals fit perfectly, there is no play in the hinge whatsoever, and the factory Airpods case slips right in and is held in place very firmly. No functionality is lost, you can charge through the case by opening the small silicone plug at the bottom, there is a rubber passthrough button to access the button on the Apple case, and a small waterproof window with which you can see the LED through. You can still pair the headphones with no problems in the case and save for a minor complaint it is a near perfect case.The single flaw with the design was to include a non-locking carabiner. Considering the cost of the case and the product it holds, it just seems irresponsible to me to clip that to anything that might be bouncing around without having a lock on it. Maybe it is rare for those gates to open, but I lost a hat clipped to a backpack with a non-locking carabiner once so I might be paranoid. Either way, the fix was simple, I just put a flat split ring on it and a #3 Nite-Ize slide lock, though I think a #2 might work as well (see attached photo).Minor complaint aside, this is the best product money can buy and I recommend it to everyone who is interested in an Airpods case. You didn't spare any expense on your headphones, so don't cheap out on protecting them.

Very sturdy case, I like that you can cover the charging port to keep dust out.

Looks good, it’s sturdy, the lock does its job perfectly and doesn’t open on its own

I bought this case in 2021 and it has gone with me everywhere. I have only dropped my AirPods many times in this case and they have stayed intact and are still working great. The other day I dropped them and the latch for the case broke. Despite that I love this case and well now since the case won’t stay close I will definitely be buying another one. I say 4 years and a month is a pretty good amount of time for these to last.

I don't usually see the need for cases but I felt the need to buy my first AirPod case when my dog for some reason thought my AirPod charger case was a chew toy. Within a few weeks the latch chipped but it still held together, and the chip actually made the latch close a bit easier so I wasn't sweating it. My wife wanted one too so we got another, and I swapped with her bc she had to have the black one.A few weeks later, the chipped latch snapped off completely, which in about a few days more the hinge for the case also broke, leaving it in pieces. Today, my case's latch also snapped off accidentally.Neither of us are nervous case fidgeters, and generally speaking leave our cases mostly at home untouched. So for a case advertised as being able to hold up to all the elements, I found it pretty sad what a lack of quality came with such a relatively expensive case.I wouldn't buy this again - spend your money on one of the Chinese knockoffs at a fifth of the price and don't be too sad if it breaks.
