Waterfield Designs has announced four new colors for its AirPods Max Shield Case. All of the new colors feature vegan-friendly fabrics. Waterfield Designs was one of the first, if not the first, third-party accessory maker to release an alternative case for Apple's AirPods Max wireless over-ear headphones. Apple's own Smart Case for the AirPods Max has been almost universally lambasted for its awkward design and lack of protection for the headphones. Source: Waterfield Designs Waterfield Design's case, in stark comparison, brings full protection for AirPods Max while also providing additional pockets to carry things like a charger or charging cable. It also can fit the Smart Case inside its case, but it's unclear if there is anyone who would want to actually use their Smart Case after picking up an alternative.
