AirPods have been all the rage since they were released in 2016. Their popularity doesn't seem to be slowing down either, as the second generation received our coveted Mashable Choice designation and they're about to enter their third generation. Like many tech devices, AirPods require extra casing to keep them from breaking, getting scratched, or — heaven forbid — lost. You're paying a decent chunk of change (up to $199 unless you find them on sale somehow) for a pair of earbuds, what's a little more to keep them in mint condition?

SEE ALSO: A lot of people are having sex while wearing AirPods

You can get pretty creative with these earbuds, like disguising them as a case of floss or exploring various AirPods hacks and upgrades. Lately, we've seen a rash of cool cases on the market, which can take a variety of different forms: food, cartoon characters, fun color combos, and even interactive spinners. Whether you're looking for something sleek, protective, or just one that matches your personality, there's a case out there for you.

In most instances, AirPods cases are cheap enough that you can purchase multiple and swap them out depending on your mood or outfit. And honestly, is there any greater power move than matching your AirPods to your wardrobe?

We've sifted through a bunch of AirPods cases at retailers like Amazon, Urban Outfitters, Etsy, and Casetify and are here to present you with 50 of the absolute best.

Elago silicone duo case

Best For Someone Who Likes To Switch It Up

The Good & The Bad

  • Multiple color options
  • No keyring hook

Why We Like It

Deciding on one color is for the birds. This colorblocked silicone AirPods case has a solid colored base and two interchangeable hinged lid covers. It's available in four different colorways and adds a soft texture to your AirPods. The silicone will ease the fall if you happen to drop your earbuds. Unfortunately, this Elago case does not have any spot to hook a keychain, so you have to just carry your AirPods in your bag or pocket and hope you don't lose them.

  • Selecting the style is a bit confusing

Why We Like It

These adorable character cases add some cuteness and nostalgia to your AirPods, while also protecting them from dust and drops.

The Good & The Bad

The Good & The Bad

  • Keeps charging case from falling out or open
  • No spot for key ring

Why We Like It

Why We Like It

We're sealing this roundup with a kiss — this red lips AirPods case to be more specific. It looks just like a puckering set of lips and protects against drops, dust, and scratches. It features a loop charm to hold or attach to another key ring as well as an opening for access to the charging port.
