The [PITAKA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pitaka) 'AirPodPal' is an aftermarket accessory for use with the Apple [AirPods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peachy-pods-case) that will transform the user experience to be more efficient, functional and in line with mobile consumer needs. The device works by being paired with the [AirPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andaash) case and can be used for charging up the headphones or even your smartphone in the event that you don't have access to an outlet. The unit can also be charged in both a wired or wireless manner to streamline power access and get the device back up and running as quickly as possible.

The PITAKA 'AirPodPal' has been designed by Tang Gan of PITAKA and also works to protect the AirPods case from damage thanks to the rugged exterior it boasts.
