For weeks, I’ve been putting the AirPods 3 Case Cover (FA ZFC086) through its paces. This review aims to provide an honest assessment of this protective case, specifically designed for the Apple AirPods 3 (2021) charging case. I’ve tested its durability, ease of use, and overall impact on the user experience. Let’s dive in.

Features

The FA ZFC086 boasts several key features: a butterfly print design (mine is a delightful shade of blue!), a soft TPU material for shock and scratch protection, compatibility with both wired and wireless charging, and a convenient carabiner keychain. The keychain is particularly useful, preventing me from misplacing my AirPods case. The soft TPU feels pleasant to the touch, and the case fits snugly onto the AirPods 3 charging case. The cutouts for the charging port and the LED indicator light are precise and don’t hinder functionality.

Performance

The case’s primary function – protection – performs admirably. It’s successfully absorbed minor bumps and scratches during my daily commute and general use. I’ve also tested the wireless charging functionality, and I’m pleased to report that it functions flawlessly with my MagSafe charger. The carabiner keychain has proven to be incredibly handy for attaching the case to my backpack or keys. One minor concern: While it’s impressively protective, it does add a slight bulk to the AirPods case, which is noticeable but not overly cumbersome.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Excellent protection, comfortable material, convenient keychain, wireless charging compatible, stylish design.
• Cons: Adds slight bulk, the butterfly print might not appeal to everyone.

Final Verdict

The AirPods 3 Case Cover (FA ZFC086) is a solid investment for anyone looking for reliable protection and convenient portability for their AirPods 3. The combination of shock absorption, the handy keychain, and seamless wireless charging functionality makes this a winner in my book. While the added bulk is noticeable, the peace of mind knowing my AirPods are well-protected far outweighs this minor drawback. I wholeheartedly recommend this case.
