Is it true that if AirPods are in the case you can't locate them?

Is it true that if airpods are in the case you can't locate them? The only time I misplace mine, they are in the case. If so any product updates to make this a non-issue? Can't buy them again until I can locate them in their case.

Hello,

If your AirPods are out of Bluetooth range, out of charge, or in the case with the cover closed, Find My won't give a current location. You just have to find them manually by looking for them. However, Find My may list the most recent location where they were last connected.

See this for more detail:

If you can't find them, you can order replacements are a reduced price:

Good luck.
