Accessory maker UAG has announced two new sets of AirPods and AirPods Pro cases, starting with the Silicone Collection.

The full feature list reads:

  • Soft-Touch Silicone
  • Drop Tested // MIL STD 8105G
  • Dustproof, Water-resistant
  • Unobstructed functionality for wireless charging
  • Detachable carabiner for easy clip access

UAG's new Silicone Collection cases cost $29.95 and are a great, colorful way to keep your AirPods and AirPods Pro safe and sound.

If you're looking for something a little more sturdy, the Hardshell Collection is where it's at. Versions for AirPods and AirPods Pro are again available, but there's only one color to choose from – Black/Orange. It does look pretty great, though.

Again, the full feature list includes a carabiner and this time there's a Lighting port plug, too.

  • Hard TPU exterior
  • Soft-touch silicone interior
  • Lighting port plug to protect from dust and water intrusion
  • Rugged Weatherproof Protection
  • Drop Tested // MIL STD 8105G
  • Dustproof, Water-resistant
  • Detachable Carabiner Included
  • Wireless Charging compatible (2nd gen device)

The Hardshell Collection cases cost $39.95, so you're paying a little more for that added protection. If that's important to you this is definitely the way to go.
