The Apple AirPods case is often compared to a pack of dental floss that is functional but slightly clunky, so this conceptual Apple AirPods Pro case has been imagined as a tubular alternative.
The wireless headphones case ditches the rounded box design of the original in favor of a sleek capsule form that can be easily slide into a pocket when not in use. Each of the earbuds are held in opposite ends of the tube, which further enhances the common practice among existing AirPods users to use one earbud at a time to maximize battery life when on calls.
The conceptual Apple AirPods Pro case is the design work of Iván Antón and is imagined in a signature white finish as well as a demure black option.
