Check this out. Couldn't find the same for mesh caps. You can google for "apple in-ear mesh caps".

You probably already have spare mesh caps. Spares ship with the product. They are easy to overlook.

Okay, a little more detail now, and with some more keywords to help people who are searching for this info ...

The Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic product ships with two extra “mesh caps” included. They are in a small, transparent plastic capsule embedded in the cardboard folder containing the documentation. They are easy to overlook, and probably some customers accidentally throw them out! I know I almost did.

I lost one of my mesh caps and it took a fair bit of searching and scratching my head wondering how I was going to replace it before I noticed a reference to the spare mesh caps in an Apple KnowledgeBase document ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2452).

Paul - thanks for the tip. My 4-year old managed to unscrew and lose one of my mesh caps and one of the silicone buds. I've been scratching my head for two weeks wondering what to do about it.

DarKOrange - the mesh caps are the small metal screw in mesh pieces which the silicone ear buds slip over. These are hidden inside the instructional packet in the box. You're thinking of the silicone ear buds in the capsule which come in multiple sizes.

Well, one problem solved? Now to replacing that silicone earbud... I have sizes large and medium which I'd be happy to trade anyone for a set of smalls...
