Vault Airpods Pro 2 Case Cover ACS05423 (2023/2022) Review – Matte Black
Introduction
For weeks, the Vault Airpods Pro 2 Case Cover ACS05423 (Matte Black) has been my constant companion. This review details my experience with this protective case, designed for both the 2022 and 2023 models of Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 (with USB-C and Lightning variations).
Features
The case boasts a tough TPU body promising shock absorption and drop protection. The textured surface and side pattern are designed to improve grip and prevent accidental slips. A convenient carabiner clip is included, enabling easy attachment to bags or keys. There’s also a cutout for a lanyard (though the lanyard isn’t included in the box), giving you additional carrying options. Importantly, the case maintains compatibility with wireless charging.

Performance
The “Military Grade” drop test certification is a significant selling point, and after numerous accidental drops (mostly from my pocket onto hard surfaces), I can attest to the case’s effectiveness. My AirPods Pro 2 remain unscathed. The matte black finish resists smudges reasonably well, though fingerprints are still visible under close inspection. The carabiner is surprisingly sturdy, and I’ve had no issues with it loosening or detaching. Wireless charging works perfectly through the case, eliminating the inconvenience of removing the AirPods for charging.
The grip is excellent. The textured surface provides a significant improvement over the smooth surface of the AirPods Pro 2 case itself. I’ve experienced far fewer near-drops since switching to the Vault case.
One minor drawback: The case adds a noticeable amount of bulk to the AirPods Pro 2 charging case. While this is understandable given the level of protection it provides, it’s something to keep in mind. It’s not significantly larger, but it does impact pocket comfort.
Pros & Cons
- Excellent drop protection

- Convenient carabiner
- Wireless charging compatible

Final Verdict
Overall, the Vault Airpods Pro 2 Case Cover ACS05423 delivers on its promises. The exceptional drop protection and improved grip make it an excellent choice for anyone prone to accidental drops or who needs extra security for their AirPods Pro 2. The added bulk is a minor trade-off for the peace of mind the case provides. I wholeheartedly recommend the Vault Airpods Pro 2 Case Cover ACS05423, particularly if you are looking for robust protection and convenient carrying options. It’s a great investment to keep your AirPods Pro 2 safe and sound.
