Fidget spinners were in the hands of thousands of Millennial and Gen Z consumers, so it only makes sense that the entertaining and calming mechanics of the device have been adopted by other brands, like the ZenPod Airpods Case, which made its debut at CES 2019.
The device can hold and charge one's iPhone airpods, but comes equipped with seamless spinning abilities that are reminiscent of the popular device. In addition, this case offers a more elevated look as it arrives with a soft leather exterior. The case is available in multiple sleek colorways, including all black, black and a silver spinner, or brown with a silver spinner.
The device will be available for $30.
