AirPods Pro Case Lid Loose

I purchased my AirPods Pro few days ago and noticed that the lid it can shift left and right along the hinge and kind of creaks if you do it. Not sure if it’s a defect on my unit or just the build quality.


I already changed mine once at the Apple store and the new pair has the same issue.


People who have bought the AirPods Pro, do you have the same problem?

Update and happy new year people. So apple and i had a little chat and they said that loose lid is a quality issue and it is not possible that in any way consumer could have caused it and yet my airpods are out of warranty they are willing to provide me with a new free of cost replacement case i argued that i am not the only one affected and that these are 250$ airpods and if this is an apple issue you cannot charge another 100$ for a quality issue which worsens overtime. Hope this answers everything.

If any queries reach out happy new year

Yes I have the same exact problem. I’m so disappointed. I spent 250 and tax which is almost 300 bucks and this piece of tech doesn’t feel pro or solid at all. In fact the old AirPods 2 or the original AirPods were far better as far as the build quality is concerned. I’ve always loved apple products even thought they are expensive. But this one just feels cheap. I need a solution for this.

I'm having the same issue with my AirPods Pro case. I bought them 4 days ago on May 19th 2020 and right out the box the case is rocking left to right and creaking, it sounds terrible just by picking it up, it’s driving me crazy. For nearly $300 it shouldn’t feel like a made in China knock off. I love the AirPods but is very disappointed with the defective case, I’m returning it as soon as possible for an exchange.

I’m coming from the 1st Generation iPod With wheel, then the shuffle and iPod video 80Gig, which still works great and that’s just naming a few. I’ve owned every category of product coming up the line and I’ve never encountered a faulty product until this Pro case. Why start now Apple, when you have so much competition? I stayed with you because of quality and durability.
