The AirPods Pro 3, a brief overview
The AirPods Pro 3 are the most complete earbuds Apple has created to date. The H2 chip powers Active Noise Cancellation and Adaptive Audio, so the world around you becomes exactlyas quiet as you want it to be. A new feature is the built-in heart rate monitor, which allows you to track workouts directly from your ears.
The earbuds are IP57-rated against dust, sweat, and water. With noise cancellation, you can listen for up to 8 hours at a time, or up to 24 hours with the case. Five sizes of ear tips, from XXS to L, ensure a fit that seals without pinching. Earbuds that you take everywhere deserve a case that can handle it.
The difference between the AirPods Pro 3 and the AirPods Pro 2
At first glance, both generations look similar. However, the difference lies in the details you notice every day:
- Noise cancellation:the Pro 3 dampens ambient noise noticeably better than the Pro 2.
- Heart rate monitoring:only the Pro 3 measures your heart rate while exercising.
- Listening time:the Pro 3 earbuds last longer, up to 8 hours with noise cancellation.
- Durability:the Pro 3 has an IP57 rating, while the Pro 2 has IP54.
- Charging case:the Pro 3 case is slightly larger and lighter, with a capacitive pairing button and an LED that only lights up when it is open or charging.
That final difference is exactly why you need a specific case. The Pro 3 case measures 47.2 x 62.2 x 21.8 mm, making it slightly wider and taller than its predecessor. A case for the previous generation will not fit properly. Do you have the second generation? Then take a look at the AirPods Pro 2 case, which is specifically tailored to that case.
Made for the AirPods Pro 3 case
Every case follows the new shape of the charging case millimeter by millimeter. The cutout for the USB-C port is exactly where it belongs, and the lid opens and closes just as you are used to. Wireless charging via MagSafe, a Qi charger, or your Apple Watch charger works perfectly with the case on.
The slim construction adds hardly any bulk. Your AirPods Pro 3 case still slides smoothly into your pocket or jacket. Looking for a case for a different model? In the overview of all AirPods Pro casesyou will find every generation in one place.
Why a case for your AirPods Pro 3 case?
The white case of the AirPods Pro 3 is smooth and glossy, making it prone to scratches from keys and coins. One fall on a stone floor can quickly leave a permanent dent or crack. An Alcantara AirPods Pro 3 cover absorbs those daily bumps and keeps the case looking like new. Furthermore, it adds grip to your case, making it less likely to slip out of your hand.

Alcantara versus leather, silicone, and transparent
Which AirPods Pro 3 case is best depends on what you value. Here is how Alcantara compares to common materials:
- Leatherlooks luxurious, but becomes stiff, dries out, and scratches easily. If you are looking for a leather case, Alcantara offers the same aesthetic with a softer touch and less weight.
- Siliconeprotects well but attracts dust and lint and feels sticky over time.
- Transparentshows off the white case, but a clear AirPods Pro 3 case often yellows and scratches visibly.
- Alcantaracombines grip, softness, and durability. This Italian microfiber material is known for its use in car seats and steering wheels, and it retains its color even after months of daily use.
