Frequently asked questions

Yes. The AirPods Pro housing is the same size across all three generations. A case labelled "AirPods Pro 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation" fits all three. This is the case for brands like Catalyst and Nomad. If a case is labelled for one specific generation only, check the product description before buying.
Yes. The AirPods 1st and 2nd generation share the same case design. Any case labelled for AirPods 1 or AirPods 2 will fit both models. The main difference between the two generations is the chip inside (W1 vs H1) — the outer dimensions are identical.
No. AirPods 3 and AirPods 4 have different case shapes and are not interchangeable. AirPods 4 introduced a redesigned charging case, so cases made for AirPods 3 will not fit the AirPods 4, and vice versa. Always check the generation on the product page before buying.
AirPods 3, 4, and Pro models have an IPX4 or IP54 rating, which means they resist sweat and light rain. The charging case is not water resistant on most models. If you use your AirPods during sports, in the rain, or near water, a waterproof case — like those from Catalyst — gives your charging case full IP68 protection.
