With an official wireless charging solution for the AirPods still awaiting release, customers can get a Kickstarter-backed option with the PowerPod Case, a Qi charging case for the AirPods case.
On September 2017 Apple announced a Qi-compatible AirPods case-- something that, a year later, is still to actually materialise. Enter the PowerPod case, a silicon case for the AirPods case promising an end for cable-based charging. It has a Lightning plug on the bottom connected to a Qi charging coil on the front, and allows charging on any Qi-enabled charging pad.
The silicone material promises to be both thin and heat-resistant. The makers also say the PowerPod Case is not only a lower-cost alternative to buying a new AirPod case, but also prevents more batteries from being thrown away, helping the environment in the process.
The PowerPod Case is available now.
