Best AirPods Skins, Cases and Covers for 2020
Apple only sells one AirPods color, but with the best AirPods skins, cases, and covers you can customize the look of your AirPods. These work with all AirPods models including the first generation and the current models. These also work on AirPods with wireless charging case.
For less than $20 you can add color or a design to your AirPods and to the AirPods charging case. You can also pick up shock-resistant and rugged AirPods cases that will protect your AirPods when they are in the charging case.
I’m not a huge fan or most AirPods accessories, since the ear loops and neckbands take away from the simplicity that makes AirPods so great, but a skin or a case is a great option to customize your AirPods. If you want to spend more, you can get custom painted AirPods in any color if you want to go that route.
Here are the best AirPods skins that cover each AirPod and skins and cases for the case.
Casetify AirPods Skin Case
The Casetify Neon AirPods Skins are awesome, because they are almost as thin as a skin, but they slide on like a case. That means no lining up the 3M pieces like with most skins, and you still get bright colors and protection for your AirPods case.
I’m using the neon orange AirPods skin from Casetify that comes in a bundle with a red and an orange skin. You can share one color with a friend, or you can mix and match colors. It’s a really nice option and the price is right.
If you have the new wireless charging AirPods 2 case, you can still see the LED through the translucent material. While I still like the waterproof option from Catalyst, this is my new everyday favorite AirPods skin.
$24.95 for a two-pack at Casetify
Element Case Black Ops AirPods Case
The Element Case Black Ops AirPods Case works with the first and second-generation AirPods. It is made from anodized aluminum, polycarbonate, and silicone to protect your AirPods, offer excellent grip and hand-feel. This case is a match for the Element Case Black Ops case and is designed to withstand drops. You also get a strap to secure them to yourself while on the go. there is a latch to keep the case closed and the design is optimized to work with wireless or wired charging.
dband AirPods Skins
You can get a dbrand AirPods skin or AirPods skin, including an option that works with the wireless charging case. These include some awesome texture and color options.
Pick from 11 different textures and a wide range of colors and patterns. This includes the new swarm option as well as matrix, camo, carbon fiber and some cool natural color options.

Some of the best examples are;
