A classy investment for your classy headphones!

I had been eyeballing Apple’s AirPods Max for quite a while but the price tag made my eyes water a bit. Apple then came out with the AirPods Max 2 recently and I decided to buy once, cry once. I do have the Bose QC Ultra 1st Gen, but with having the Apple Eco System, I wanted more out of my headphones with less fiddling around to achieve it. Most would agree the “Smart Case” that comes with the AirPod Max’s leaves much to be desired. So right after I watched Flossy Carter’s review of the Max 2, he showed the case to get to protect your investment.

I looked at his page to find out more, and found a video he did about 5 years ago. By the end of that video, I had a Blue Forza case on order. Next morning I had an email from Mr. Gary. I responded to it, not expecting to hear anything back, and BAM… a personal response from one of the team members. They asked how I happened to find them, and I said Flossy Carter. Even shared the link. The day my Max 2’s showed up, my case did too. Couldn’t have timed it better.

I enjoyed my Max’s so much that I let my daughter try them out. She’s Autistic so feel, sound, ease of use means everything. She LOVED them. So as a welcome to High School gift, I got her a set of her own as a surprise and before I could even get on Amazon to order them, I made sure to get her a case like mine but in black. She loves the feel of it (inside and out), she loves the ease of the zipper with no issues closing or opening it with the Max’s inside (even with the sport bra on LOL), and all the space to hold a cleaning cloth, charging cable, ear buds if she wants to put a set in there for traveling with room to spare all over. It’s like having two fleece pillows inside protecting your item but without being bulky. Even the inside of the outer front pocket is fleecy padded protected.

I received a personal email the next morning letting me know they had run out of supply and my order would be delayed a little. No worries. I work in supply so I absolutely understand and the fact they took the time to personally reach out to me and let me know ASAP, top tier customer service right there. Most companies say crickets. Amazingly enough, I actually received my item before the day they quoted me for having it shipped. What can you say… I appreciate the handmade quality made in the USA (San Francisco), I’m originally from So Cal (Go Dodgers) but I still have love for the north. It’s not some item made overseas for cheap. You are paying for quality with WaterField and you absolutely get it. I wouldn’t be paying good scratch a second time if it wasn’t absolutely worth it. I love the durability of the handle in case you have to lamp someone to protect yourself. I feel confident that my headphones won’t feel a thing, but that poor bugger who crossed the line sure will. The case looks so classy, feels classy, and offers superior protection. If you’re gonna spend $449-$549 for a set of headphones, why cheap out on the protection? Heck, we even went silicone / TPU to protect and prolong our headphones while we wear them. I absolutely will name drop WaterField to anyone I know looking for a case because they are worth it. Phenomenal customer service, wicked fast shipping (even to Alaska… oh man thank you for shipping here!!!), quality product that will last, and MADE IN THE USA by hand. I will always pay more to help put food on my neighbor’s table. I really hope the team gets a chance to read this and know how satisfied and proud we are of these cases, and the overall experience. 11/10 all day long!!! We love you guys!

Perfecta

Perfecta

Excellent quality and construction

Excellent quality, good customer service and communication between order and arrival of the case, and perfectly portioned for exactly what I need (headphones, adapter, usb-c cord, and audio to USB-C cord).

Love this case

Love this case. I didn’t like the Sonos case. Like the ballistic material better

Thoughtfully designed, well-made

It does everything I need, feels sturdy, and is a pleasure to use. It really enhances the experience of having new AirPods Max.

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.

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.

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.
