"The case borrows the mouse's proportions, its warm stone-colored plastic, and its most tactile feature. Spigen built a "Push to Unlock" locking mechanism into the front, positioned where the mouse button would have been. Press it and the hinged lid releases; snap it shut, and it clicks back into place. It's a small mechanical gesture, but it makes opening and closing feel deliberate rather than accidental."
"That security matters more than it sounds. For anyone who has found a lidless AirPods case rattling loose at the bottom of a bag, the locking mechanism is a genuine practical improvement over standard cases. The AirPods don't pop out unexpectedly, and the lid doesn't spring open on its own. An adhesive strip inside connects the lid to the top of the AirPods case, so the whole assembly opens cleanly as one unit."
"The shell itself is polycarbonate, reinforced with what Spigen calls Air Cushion Technology, an internal structure designed to absorb impact at the corners and edges."
Spigen has released a retro-inspired AirPods Pro 3 case styled after the original Apple mouse from the classic Macintosh era. The case features the warm stone-colored plastic and proportions of the iconic single-button mouse, complete with a "Push to Unlock" locking mechanism positioned where the mouse button would have been. This mechanical feature provides practical security, preventing the AirPods from accidentally falling out or the lid from opening unexpectedly. The case uses polycarbonate construction reinforced with Air Cushion Technology for impact protection. An adhesive strip inside connects the lid to the AirPods case, allowing the entire assembly to open as one unit. This design is part of Spigen's broader retro-Mac collection launched in January 2026.
