For weeks, I’ve been testing the Air Pods Pro 2 Generation Protective Case featuring the iconic Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom design (model number BC000267). This isn’t just any case; it boasts a vibrant 3D design, a luminous pendant, and a handy carabiner. But does it live up to the hype? Let’s dive in.

This case immediately grabs attention with its eye-catching Zelda design. The detail is surprisingly sharp, making it a conversation starter. Beyond the aesthetics, it offers practical features like a soft silicone build, which feels great in the hand and provides a decent level of shock absorption. The luminous pendant adds a touch of whimsy, glowing subtly in low-light conditions, and the carabiner is incredibly convenient for attaching the case to a bag or keys. The fit is snug, perfectly accommodating both my AirPods Pro (1st Gen) and my friend’s AirPods Pro (2nd Gen). Wireless charging is also fully supported with the case on. All in all, this is a well-designed case with thought put into both practicality and style.

In terms of protection, the silicone casing successfully absorbed minor bumps and drops during my testing period. I’ve accidentally knocked my AirPods off the table a couple of times, and the case kept them safe from any damage. It’s worth noting, however, that it’s not designed for extreme drops. The carabiner has proven to be robust and hasn’t shown any signs of wear or tear even after extended use. The luminous pendant, while a nice aesthetic touch, doesn’t illuminate brightly enough to be a primary light source. However, it provides a soft, gentle glow which is a pleasant addition.

The fit is precisely what I’d expect from a case that caters to both generations of AirPods Pro. Access to the charging port and the case itself remains unrestricted. The wired and wireless charging functions continue to work flawlessly when using this protective case. The silicone material didn’t hinder the charging process in any way.

Pros:

• Eye-catching Zelda design
• Durable and shock-absorbing silicone
• Convenient carabiner clip
• Supports both wired and wireless charging
• Luminous pendant adds a unique touch
• Compatible with AirPods Pro 1st and 2nd generation

Cons:

• Not designed for extreme drops or impacts
• Luminous pendant’s glow is subtle

Overall, the Air Pods Pro 2 Generation Protective Case (BC000267) is a solid purchase for anyone looking for a stylish and functional case that offers decent protection. The Zelda design is a standout feature, and the inclusion of the carabiner and luminous pendant adds extra value. While it’s not a military-grade case, it provides sufficient protection for everyday use. I’d confidently recommend this case to fellow Zelda fans and those looking for a unique way to accessorize their AirPods Pro.
