Accidentally got Acetone on my AirPods Case

Hi, i accidentally got acetone on my airpod case when i was trying to do my nails, i tried cleaning it off but it became to this weird rough texture. I was wondering if we could exchange it for another one, if it’s still functional, and/or have to deal with the damage that was caused.

It's Time for New AirPods:

With this having an acidic reaction, these are no longer safe for use. So, I you would want to properly dispose of these, and get new AirPods. Apple would not cover intentional/accidental damage. As for proper disposal, contact your local Transfer Station (AKA Dump).
