Product description
The essentials
If you’ve just got AirPods 4 (2024, USB-C), the ESR case is a straightforward way to keep the charging case better protected without adding bulk for everyday carry. On paper, it ticks the boxes people tend to care about: MagSafe compatibility, stronger protection against knocks, and small practical details like an easy-carry strap and speaker cut-outs for Find My.
That said, it’s only a case. Earbuds and the charging case aren’t included, so you’ll need to have the compatible AirPods 4 charging case to put in this cover. Also, because the protection and fit are designed specifically for the AirPods 4th Generation charging case (USB-C), it’s worth double-checking compatibility before ordering.
What to know before you buy
This ESR AirPods 4 case is designed for the AirPods 4th Generation (2024) case (USB-C). The listing also states it supports MagSafe, thanks to magnets positioned on the back of the case, helping the cover “lock” onto MagSafe chargers for tap-and-go wireless charging.
A useful reality check: MagSafe chargers work because of alignment, and while magnets help, charging performance can still depend on how your charger is set up on your desk or bedside. If your setup is a bit awkward, it’s something you may want to consider.
Where it shines in day-to-day use
The drop protection approach here is fairly sensible for a pocket-life accessory. The design uses an ultra-hard shell plus a flexible shock-absorbing core. The point isn’t to make the case indestructible, but to add another layer that can help with typical bumps and falls during commuting, gym trips, or when you’re juggling bag straps.
Two more details stand out for practical owners:
- Easy open: the cover is described as easy to open, which matters if you’re not trying to fight your case every time you want to grab your AirPods.
- Easy-carry strap: a braided cord wraps around your wrist or can attach to a bag or belt buckle, so you’re less likely to misplace the case when you’re moving around.
There’s also speaker cut-outs on the base, positioned so the Find My app sound can be heard clearly. If you’ve ever had to search for a misplaced charging case and wished it were louder, this kind of cut-out is the difference between “eventually” and “quickly”.
And yes, the magnets are part of the story too. If you already use a MagSafe charger, this cover is designed to keep that routine feeling smooth rather than swapping back to cables.

Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It’s a good fit if you want a daily-use case that prioritises protection, convenient carrying, and keeping MagSafe charging friction low. If you’re the kind of person who throws your earbuds in a pocket, top compartment, or small bag and doesn’t baby your kit, the hybrid drop protection and strap make a lot of sense.
It may not be a great match if you already store your AirPods case in something heavily protective and never carry it around loose. In that scenario, you might not gain much from the strap and shell design. Also, if you don’t have the AirPods 4th Generation (2024) charging case (USB-C), the compatibility limitations mean this won’t be the right cover.
Customer support and coverage (worth noting)
ESR’s included customer support package is unusually concrete for a case accessory. The listing mentions detailed setup videos, FAQs, a comprehensive 12-month protection plan, unlimited support, and personalised help. That’s not the same as proving durability in the real world, but it does reduce the risk of getting stuck if you have questions about fit, setup, or use.
Mini FAQ
Will this work with the Find My app sound?
The case includes speaker cut-outs designed to let you hear the Find My app sound loud and clear, so you can track your earbuds and charging case.
Does it come with the earbuds?
No. The listing notes that earbuds and the charging case aren’t included.
Is MagSafe charging supported while the case is on?
Yes. It’s designed for MagSafe with magnets on the back of the case to secure locking on MagSafe chargers.
Is the drop protection strong enough for everyday knocks?
It’s built for hybrid drop protection with an ultra-hard shell and shock-absorbing core. No case can guarantee survival from every impact, but for typical falls and bumps, it’s a sensible protective design.
Is it only for AirPods 4 (2024) USB-C?
Yes, it’s stated as compatible only with the AirPods 4th Generation (2024) case (USB-C).
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you’ve got AirPods 4 (2024, USB-C) and you want a MagSafe-friendly case that adds hybrid drop protection, includes an easy-carry strap, and supports Find My audio. The balance of practical features feels aimed at everyday owners rather than minimalists.
You may want to skip it if you’re missing the specific AirPods 4 (USB-C) compatibility, or if you don’t carry your charging case around much and already have enough protection in your bag. As long as your charging routine is MagSafe and you care about keeping the case easy to find and easy to carry, this ESR cover is the kind of accessory that tends to earn its keep.
