Just bought two of these and they are lovely

Postage takes the price up a bit, but still cheaper than the instore prices I’ve seen.

EDIT look for the Gen 12 case – they are £8.99 down from lots.

I know this is going to sound very strange but I’ve not sold my soul and joined the Apple lifestyle product chain, but I thought Airpods came with a charging case already?

And a similarly unknown question – from what I’ve heard if an Apple product does fail, you turn up to an Apple shop and they give you a replacement for the broken one…so why would you be willing to spend even more on consumable products?

Genuine questions but I’m aware I’ve loaded the questions with the way they have been worded!

It’s a case to protect the case. if you have the serial number and lose one (or the charging case in a taxi – colleague), they’ll sell you another. At full price, I am happy with a few scratches on the plastic case. For £10, it’s nice to hold.
