[Apple's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpods-pro-with-usbc) abandonment of the headphone jack and introduction of its [AirPods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peachy-pods-case) has changed the listening landscape, and PowerPod Cases give loyal Apple users a way to take their minimal headphones farther. As their name suggests, PowerPod Cases keep AirPods charged wirelessly, and they let users upgrade their current [AirPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iron-man-helmet) cases before Apple introduces a similar product later this year.

With Apple having announced that it plans to sell AirPod cases with wireless charging, the standard, original cases will quickly become obsolete. That said, PowerPod Cases give users the chance to keep up with the latest functionality for a fraction of the price. The cases fit directly over the original AirPod case, and they're slim enough to keep a virtually identical form factor with very little added bulk.
