We’re still waiting for Apple to get around to launching AirPower, the wireless charging pad that it promised in 2017 but is still yet to be released. Apple also said that it would be launching AirPods with a special wireless charging case as well, perfectly suited to AirPower.
Unfortunately, more than year after announcement neither are here yet, and if rumors are to be believed, wireless charging will now come as part of second-gen AirPods which will likely leave first-gen AirPods owners out in the cold. Worry not though as a complete third-party solution has finally arrived which adds Qi wireless charging to existing AirPods case, like this Qi Wireless Charging Case For Apple AirPods:
The charging case works in exactly the way you might expect it to. Slide your existing AirPods charging case into this wireless charging case, connect it via Lightning and that’s about all there is to it.
The wireless charging case itself will be charged by any Qi-compatible wireless charger, sending power to the AirPods charging case via a built-in Lightning connector that is positioned just so, inside.
It’s pretty minimal so it wouldn’t add any bulk to the case either. In fact, the case will actually help protect existing AirPods charging case from getting scratched as most of you AirPods owners might already know how prone it is to scratches in day-to-day use!
