This feature was spot on perfect when they first released it a couple years ago. Now, it’s useless and crappy. I get these same messages about my iPad and AirPods when they’re definitely within reach.

This issue started way before I even had this case, when I was going caseless. So it isn’t the case causing it.

It honestly wasn’t bad. I didn’t see a difference at all in signal. It’s plastic not metal. Never seen a plastic faraday cage.

I had that same case but in red. It’s so awesome. For some reason when you drop the AirPods, it automatically objects them like a rubber band gun and with that type of case it holds it shut so when you drop it they stay in the case. Much better!

This happened to me at the gym, fell out of my pocket, and one airpod shot under the treadmill the other in the completely opposite direction, and went under the vending machine. That was fun to get back.

The only good news is the new 2nd generation air pods let you navigate to them like an air tag AND has a special speaker on the outside made to make a loud noise to find them without maxing out the air pod volume like they used to!
