Airpod case top/cap/hinge is too tight

I have some AirPods that I haven’t used in a while and then now I’m using them again and I guess it’s a little rusty because it takes effort to close and open it because it’s really tight.. does anyone know what to put on it or how to loosen the case top?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

What to do:

  • Don't put anything in it, as it may cause bodily harm.


  • As for loosening it, I'd say its time for new ones. If it just been left laying about, then they may have condensed, due to humidity and debris.


So, just go for new AirPods.
