Great product and great value. The color is so is pretty and love the gold ring. Usually you only get a basic black for a low price. Very happy with this purchase/product. Would definitely recommend.

No brainer case for Airpods 1st & 2nd gen

I personally really like keeping my Airpods in some sort of case just for the sake of making them a little more shock proof since they’re always in my pocket, or in my backpack getting tossed around.
Here’s what I like about the Best Buy Essentials Silicon Airpods case:
• The fit is really nice, and there are hardly any gaps between the lid and the body of the case when it’s closed.
• The silicon isn’t too thick so there isn’t much bulk you’ll be adding to your Airpods. That said, there’s enough padding to survive a drop and give you a little more piece of mind.
• The carabiner is appreciated here. I like being able to clip my earbuds to my keys or to a clip in my backpack.
• The black looks nice, and since they don’t sell black Airpods this is the easiest way to at least get that look for your case.
• This case will fit both the first and second generation Airpods.
The one and only thing I don’t love about this case is the piece of silicon connecting the top and bottom case pieces, and that because it leaves you with (1) a small bump on the back of the case, and (2) a small, exposed part of the case by the hinge. I do admit though that it makes sense you wouldn’t want to cover the hinge and prevent any function of opening the case, and since you can’t wirelessly charge 1st or 2nd generation Airpods, it’s not going to impact any ability to use the case normally.
All in all, this is a nice case option that is really almost a no brainer if you just want something that looks good and gives you some solid device protection.

We were on our way to Disneyland and I wanted something quick, easy, secure, instead of throwing the airpods into my back pack. I have various cases throughout the years and I didn't need anything fancy, just put it in a case, avoid the scratches, and easy to access.
I put my airpods and these and latched it onto my back pack and I am pleased to say this thing is great! Some of the problems I've had in the past were cases using very strong glue/sticky double sided tape, warping in the sun, etc. I had none of those problems here.
You can see in the pictures I've submitted, the case was perfect to prevent scratches. The ring was strong enough so you can't tear through the silicone, or accidentally fall off. The case matches the airpods perfectly, so you can still access the lightning port and still see the charging light. And to top it off everything was very light and efficient in getting the job done.
I wasn't able to put a sticker on this as it kept falling off, so I suppose the exterior could use a little aesthetic/cosmetic consideration. But in otherwise, a perfect little solution in a box. Highly recommended.

A really nice silicone case. Remember, this is for standard AirPods, not Pros. Value ratio is very high with these. I’ve had a handful of AirPod cases that had a poor fit on the top half of the case, but this is not the, er, case with this one. The light blue color looks very nice, and the silicone is thick but yet pliable. An added bonus is the detachable ring that is attached to the side of the case, which can be used to hold AirPods to a belt buckle, a backpack, or any other item.
The case itself fits perfectly on the AirPods, with the cut out for the charger being in the right spot and easily accessible. There is a marked area on the case for the sync button to make it easy to know where to press to connect it with a smartphone. In the last week, I’ve carried the case in my pocket, on a loop on my backpack, and even dropped it a few times (on accident) while holding the AirPods. It protects extremely well and I haven’t had any issues with use. I’m really pleased with the Best Buy Essentials line up that provides quality equipment for great value.

This Best Buy Essentials AirPod case for Gen 1-2 is great. It fits right onto my AirPods case and feels fantastic. It's a nice silicone grippy feel. Opening and closing the case works fine with it on there and the charging slot is not disrupted at all. The color is a nice deep black, so far no fingerprints. I am happy to have the extra protection this case provides for my AirPods and since it's a Best Buy Essentials you know you're getting a good deal. I especially like the grip feel of this case, not slippery at all. The little ring to clip on to things is a nice feature as well! I can clip it inside my purse or my belt loop and I'll always know right where they are when I go looking for them. While the case is plain, I like that, it serves its purpose and if you are looking for some extra protection for your Gen 1-2 AirPods then these are a good choice. There’s a lot of different cases out there for these but you know you’ll get a quality case if you go with this. It’s simple and effective.

My Aripods 2nd are one of the devices I use the most on a daily basis and this case is a good option to keep them protected.
In the box only comes the silicon case with its removable carabiner ring. The installation is easy and simple: just insert the charging case into the silicon case and that's it, it fits perfectly. The silicone case almost completely covers the Airpods charger case. The cover of the case is attached to the bottom, it is a single piece and this prevents it from getting lost. In this section what I noticed is that because the plastic that joins the cover with the bottom of the case is a little thick, sometimes when opening the case it closes by itself but this can be avoided by opening the case with your thumb and keeping the cover open to remove or insert the Airpods.
Regarding the bottom part where the lightning connector is and having used other cases, I think I prefer this part to be uncovered to have easy access to connect the charger without having to remove a type of cover. While some dust may get in, it is a relatively easy area to clean. It's not a problem for me, and I think it's a matter of taste. The removeable carabiner ring is a great help as I can easily attach it to my pants or backpack, or simply place it somewhere I can store it. On the front it has a hole that allows you to see the LED indicator light of the wireless case and it is also compatible with this type of charging. On the back it has a cut design that lets you press the bluetooth button which I like.
In summary, this silicone case covers the Airpods 1st and 2nd generation charging case very well, it is thick enough to protect from falls, has a removable carabiner ring quite practical and a design that allows you to maneuver the charger case easily. I can definitely recommend it.

Finally I found the perfect affordable protecting case for my AirPods Gen 2, this Best Buy essentials silicone case is compatible with either generation 1 or generation 2 AirPods. It’s easy to install, very light weight, soft and easy to carry around, it includes a removable carabiner ring that I can attach to my backpack, gym bag or a lanyard and small enough to put it inside your pocket if needed. You can use wireless charger or used your Apple lightning charger, the case is designed to give you access to buttons, charging port and to retrieve your AirPods without removing the protection silicone case, you can even see the LED light while charging. I have never dropped my AirPods before, but this Best Buy essentials silicone case also protects your AirPods from drops up to 3.94 ft, dust and water resistance comes in two colors , blue and black , but I preferred the black case. Great silicone protecting case for AirPods at an affordable price, if you want to protect your AirPods without having a bulky case , I really recommend this Best Buy essentials.

This Best Buy Essentials Silicone Case for my AirPods is very nice for the price point! It fits perfectly over my hard case with a rubbery - silicone gripping feel. It is water and shock resistant, and you can clean any dirt or dust off of it easily by wiping with a damp cloth or actually taking the whole case off and cleaning it properly with water and letting it air dry. It weights practically nothing, so it doesn't weigh your hard-shell case down any. It protects the case as well as the Pods from any accidental drops of about 3.5 feet. There is a removable ring that you can use to attach to your backpack or purse, and you can attach it to a lanyard too.
There are cutouts for the charging ports and you can also keep the case on the hard shell actually charging case if you are charging your pods wirelessly. You also have access to the buttons and can clearly see the green light when charging.
There is also a 1-year limited warranty against defect in materials and workmanship!

My kid keeps dropping and loses the AirPods and having this Silicone case has helped a lot.
First the case came in a recyclable box so we are glad for that, then right out of the box the case looks very attractive; the contrast between the gold and the blue is fresh and elegant.
Now we feel better that the AirPods are protected from every day drops, perhaps they will not protect them from all the drops but they have been doing their job and well.
The removable carabiner ring is a big help, they can stay on the backpack, pants, purse and more and it is easy to remove and place it somewhere else.
And we like that there is no need to remove the case, since the pods can be charged wirelessly with it and since it is a perfect fit, and it can be charged via wired too since everything works the same with just added protection.
Overall the case feels soft and smooth to touch while it protects the AirPods from every day drops and keeps them handy with its easy to open and close ring, we are happy with it.

Basic airpod case, seems durable

I bought this airpod case to replace a case I bought from Amazon. I chose this Insignia case for its price and color, and the ability to attach to my purse or keys. This particular case fits the bill. I don’t really expect much from this case except that it should do what it is supposed to do - protect my airpods. This case fits the airpods like a glove, not too tight nor too loose. I did not have a hard time slipping my airpods inside the case. The top cover of the case is attached which is a good thing because I had a case before where the top cover is detached from the body and I lost the top part. The Insignia case is made of silicone, it is a dust magnet due to the material, hence I subtracted 1 star. I would have preferred a case that does not attract lint. Another thing that’s a con for me is that there is no cover on the opening where you insert the charger, unlike my previous case, which could eventually collect dust. Without those two cons I have mentioned, this case would have been perfect. However, functionality-wise, thos case is good enough to protect the airpods. Having a ring attachment also makes it worth it because I can simply attach this to my purse or key ring and not lose my airpods that way. Still, I recomment this case for its price and durability.

I recently got the Best Buy Essentials Gen 3 case and noted the improvements over their prior version. This case provides the same great upgrades for the Gen 1 and 2 models of Airpods. In short, it’s all good stuff!
For the price, you get a really nice, thick silicone case that fits perfectly. I love the round keyring (over the older model’s carabiner) as it looks more modern, and provides a nice finger loop for pulling your AirPods from a bag. I used to carry my AirPods around in a small fabric pouch to avoid marring their case’s shiny plastic exterior, but this case is a far better solution. It provides a good cushion from falls, water and dust resistance - all while looking great. It also stays on snuggly, but isn’t so tight as to be hard to remove. Since silicone is inert, I’m not worried about leached chemicals or plastic reactions with things in my bag (or with the AirPods case itself).
It comes in simple packaging and isn't all that flashy, but it does the job well and looks clean/modern in its deep black color. Overall, it’s an all-around, quality case! ... Best Buy Essentials products have been nailing the combo of great design and affordability lately. I'll definitely be keeping my eyes out for more great stuff from them in the future.

Ok, the Apple Air Pods first and second generation have been around four years. And for most first adaptors, these Air Pods most likely have home juice left in them. But I wouldn’t be surprised that the charging case would have had a lot of beating in them and also most likely have stains which cannot be removed. And as much as one can love the Air Pods, a good redress to make it look decent would be of help. Now, here comes the Best Buy Essentials Air Pods Silicone Case for first and second generation models. These are nothing fancy and in fact similar to generic ones sold in that famous auction site or former online bookstore. It is simple a wraparound silicone case with a key ring. Nothing fancy save for the fact that it comes in various colors. What is notable with Best Buy’s case that it is thicker than the generic ones out there. And though these are still new, I am getting the impression that these will last long. To take things in perspective, I used to have one of those generic ones and the top lid already tore off after a few months. So, I would rather spend a bit more on these cases rather than going for cheaper one which I would have to change occasionally. So, I would recommend this case over the generic ones out there,

Seems like a good fit for my older set. My white apple case is already fairly scratched up but I figure this would be nice to use for gym/jogging purposes via belt loop. Does a good job of covering those scratches!
PROS:
Great silicone quality. Nice and thick build! The loop ring seems to be metal too!
Not much else to really say in this regard. The aggressive price point makes it a no brainer if you don't want your gen 1/2 Airpod case sliding out of your pocket while exercising. Doubles up as a protective case for drops if it somehow falls off the ring.
CONS:
I would say wireless charging seems slightly worse through the silicon case, but I don't have enough data points to confirm. It's subtle if anything. Still charges to 100%.
Apple Airpods in general have been quirky with wireless charging aspects, so I can't entirely blame the case, this is just something I noticed.
OVERALL:
I think this is a great product. I can certainly recommend this to anyone looking for something that fits a gen 1/2 Airpod case. Especially if you don't want to break the bank.

If you have a teen you know how forgetful they can be and how expensive it can sometimes be when they are! My girlfriend’s teenage son has gone thru a couple pairs of AirPods by either forgetting them somewhere or them being left on a vehicle and then being destroyed when they were run over! Now with this little case hopefully the mishaps will stop. The case allows him to now attach it to his backpack or his belt loop so he won’t forget them. The silicone case adds a little extra protection against drops and also makes them easier to hold on to. The ring that you use to attach the case to things is very robust and sturdy. I like the fact you can charge them with the case on and not have to take them out. We now have insurance to cover any damage to his AirPods but we don’t want to have to use it and hopefully this case will aide in that! If you want to keep your AirPods case looking new or are just forgetful and want something that allows you to attach them to things, this is a great inexpensive case that will do just that.

this is a great budget-friendly option for protecting your AirPods. Made from durable silicone, it provides a snug fit, safeguards against scratches and minor drops, and includes precise cutouts for easy access to the charging port. The case also supports wireless charging and comes with a sturdy carabiner clip for added convenience. While the silicone can attract some lint and the color options are limited, its affordability, functionality, and reliable protection make it a solid choice for everyday use.

Extra airpod protection with some extra bulk

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is a simple, inexpensive case to help protect your airpods from a drop. The blue is a nice color -- I would prefer a silver carabineer, but the gold isn't bad. It's nice for my bag as I can clip it into a looped section in my bag, so I always know where they are. The silicon adds a grippiness that provides for a much more secure hold, and prevents slippery hands.
The sync button provides a nice indent within the silicon so you know just where it is, and no issues with wireless charging.
All in, it's a nice case, that serves it's purpose, but you should know a few things -- first, it adds a good deal of bulk. I actually like the slimmer profile without the case, but then there is no protection. For example, I recently had a flight, and I wasn't going to risk the more slippery non-case in that situation... or if I dropped it. So there are definitely scenarios where the bulk is useful, but you can't have it both ways. I also would prefer that I can just stand the case up vertically. This is a very minor complaint, as it's so small, but something to be aware of. Finally, silicon attracts so much hair and dirt. It's easy enough to wipe off with some water, but again, it's just something to be aware of.
So in the end, the case is great if you are a bit clumsy or need some short term extra protection. Plus, it does look nice and the carabineer to add to a key ring or belt loop is a nice perk that you don't get with the standard airpod case -- just be aware that it's now much bigger and you may not want to use it all of the time.
