For weeks, I’ve been putting the Parallax AirPods 4 Case Cover (Model ACS08658) through its paces. This matte black case, boasting a unique 3D hexa cube design, promises style, protection, and convenience. But does it deliver on all fronts? Let’s dive in.

The Parallax case immediately stands out with its distinctive hexagonal pattern. The sandstone texture is surprisingly pleasant to the touch, offering a good grip and feeling surprisingly luxurious for a protective case. The advertised non-slip side pattern adds extra confidence when holding my AirPods. The carabiner is a welcome addition, making it incredibly easy to attach the case to my bag or belt loop. Wireless charging compatibility is a must-have in 2024, and this case doesn’t disappoint – charging works flawlessly with the case on. The LED light is clearly visible, making it simple to check the battery status.

The “Mil-Grade Protection” claim is certainly put to the test daily. I’ve accidentally dropped my AirPods several times (let’s not talk about the height!), and the case has absorbed the impact each time without a scratch on my AirPods. The snug fit ensures the earbuds stay securely inside, preventing them from rattling around. The promised fingerprint resistance also holds true; the matte finish keeps the case looking clean even after several hours of use.

One minor drawback is that the added bulk makes it slightly harder to put the AirPods into the case initially, but this minor inconvenience is significantly outweighed by the protection it offers.

Pros:

• Stylish and unique 3D hexa cube design
• Excellent grip and drop protection
• Effective fingerprint resistance
• Wireless charging compatible
• Convenient carabiner included
• Durable and well-built

Cons:

• Slightly more difficult to insert AirPods initially due to snug fit
• Limited color options (at least for now)

Overall, the Parallax AirPods 4 Case Cover (ACS08658) is an excellent investment for anyone looking for a stylish and highly protective case for their AirPods 4. The combination of superior protection, convenient features like the carabiner and wireless charging compatibility, and the pleasing tactile experience make this a winner. While the slightly tighter fit is a minor drawback, the peace of mind knowing my AirPods are well-protected far outweighs this minor inconvenience. I wholeheartedly recommend the Parallax case.
