AirPods 4 Case with Lock & Carabiner - Rugged IP68 Protection

In this review the SUPCASE AirPods 4 Case with Lock & Carabiner is judged on who needs heavy-duty protection and why it matters. The bottom line: this is a solid, protective cover built for AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation that prioritizes security and durability over slim styling. It is aimed at users who want a near-indestructible carry solution with visible charging LED and MagSafe compatibility, and its double-lock waterproofing and hard-shell construction are the single biggest reasons to consider it.

Key Features

• IP68 waterproofing: The double locks and sealed charge port provide protection rated for up to 10 ft of water exposure so earbuds stay dry in wet conditions.
• Military-grade shell: A TPU and PC hard-shell combo absorbs shocks and guards against drops and falls for dependable day-to-day protection.
• Wireless and MagSafe support: The case supports wireless charging and MagSafe so you can charge without removing the cover while the front LED remains visible.
• Secure carry: The included carabiner clips to belts or backpacks and helps prevent loss while keeping the case accessible on the go.
• Precise access: Cutouts keep the USB cable port reachable and let you see the charging status without exposing the internals to debris.

Who It's For

The case is best for outdoorsy users, commuters, and anyone who carries AirPods in environments where drops, scratches, or moisture are likely. If you need a case that doubles as a rugged carry solution and still works with wireless or MagSafe charging, this is a practical choice.

Those who prefer an ultra-slim, minimalist sleeve or want the absolute lightest option should look elsewhere; this cover adds bulk to achieve its protection. If cosmetic finesse or near-invisible fit are top priorities, a thinner soft case will suit better.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent protection from impacts and scratches thanks to hard-shell TPU and PC construction.
• Reliable security features including double locks and a carabiner to reduce the chance of loss.
• Convenient wireless and MagSafe charging compatibility while keeping the LED visible during charge.

• Added bulk compared with slim soft cases, which may not suit users who prioritize compact carry.
