Air Pods Max Shield!

Beautiful Black Leather! Amazing quality, and that wonderful smell of leather! Perfect!

Amazing experience

Everything you could want from a case: sturdy, helpful pockets, and beautiful design!

Excellent case

A very functional and protective case that is exceptionally well made from quality materials and components.

Platonic form of an AirPods Max case

What can I say here that hasn’t already been said. It’s stylish. The leather is smooth. The zippers are sturdy. There’s room for a wire and charging port. It protects a product I love, and one that I use every damn day! AAA+++

Great!

Love Gary's products, this is one of many WF items I own and it is great. Highly recommended.

Waterfield Designs' AirPods Max Shield Case review: The case that Apple should've made

iMore - January 6, 2021

“This is the case that Apple should have shipped with the AirPods Max.”

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

SIZE GUIDE

The compact AirPods Max Shield Case is custom-fit to protect and carry your AirPods Max with or without the Apple Smart Case.

LOW POWER MODE WITH CENTER MAGNET

A central magnet puts the AirPods Max into low-power mode when the two ear cups are placed on either side of it. It also keeps the ear cups from bumping into each other accidentally.

The magnetic tab lies flat when the Apple Smart Case is on the AirPods Max, and flips up when the Smart Case is off, preserving power while it's in the case.

"After receiving my headphones, I realize the case should do two things: protect the metal earcups from smacking/rubbing together, and have some way of putting them in ultra low power mode.” - T.B., Arizona

KEEP ACCESSORIES ORGANIZED

Everything you need for your AirPods Max can be organized in the compact AirPods Max Shield Case. The mesh pocket holds the power plug, while the soft, fleece-like interior lining cradles and protects the AirPods Max's stainless steel ear cups and delicate head band.

THANKS TO OUR COMMUNITY

We received 1200+ responses from customers who shared their requirements for the ideal case. Many had these themes:

“It's very important that the case lets the headphones go into the ultra-low-power state (since there is no power-off button).” - #1023

“Should accommodate the Smart Case so the power-down feature still works.” - #708

“Make it compact and slim-fitting but protecting the whole headphones.” - #11

“Compact, professional looking (no lingerie or purse please…), classy design. Color variety is essential, but nothing flashy." - #610

“Colorful, contemporary looking, hidden features.” - #1032

“I'd love it to be reasonably sleek.” - #1111

“High quality materials and a smooth zipper desired.” - #90

“Please make this. I will buy it instantly.” - #26

COLORS TO MATCH YOUR AIRPODS MAX

We use the high-performance Forza textile to create a colorful case to complement the AirPods Max headset. The Forza fabric is made by weaving together two yarn-dyed nylon threads in a unique basketweave creating a vibrant pattern with undertones. It has a very classy look with a bit of texture.

“I'd personally like to see colour options to match the AirPods themselves, as I think they are already fairly muted colours and professional enough.” - #1394

"Color options mirroring the AirPods Max's colors would be nice. - #1007

"Professional, colorful, and customizable (different materials, colors, trims) - #719

NON-LEATHER OPTIONS

By using premium textiles, we created non-leather options for a vegan-friendly alternative. Using durable ballistic nylon and sturdy Forza textile, these cases come in one color to complement the AirPods Max.

“Compact with room for auxiliary and charge cables and a normal AirPods case. Vegan materials with a wax type finish.” - #834

“Simple/elegant. Protective. No leather (vegan).” - #323

“I know you specialize in leather, but could you offer a vegan option?” - #51

CARING FOR YOUR SHIELD CASE

If you have the waxed canvas and chocolate leather AirPods Max Shield Case, Gary shows how you can maintain these materials so they'll look great over time.

For the chocolate leather panel, we use full grain Roughman leather which has oils that respond well to heat.
