The Yinke Smart Case for Apple AirPods Max is a hardshell carrying case designed as an alternative to Apple's original Smart Case. Its main feature is the ability to put AirPods Max earbuds into an ultra-low-power sleep mode, mimicking the battery-saving functionality of the original case.
Main features
-
Smart Sleep Mode: The Yinke case integrates a magnet that activates the AirPods Max's sleep mode, disabling Bluetooth to conserve battery life. Some newer versions of the case even allow you to put the earbuds into sleep mode with or without the original Apple case.
-
Material and protection:
-
Constructed with a rigid EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) material exterior, the case is shock, drop, water, and dust resistant.
-
The interior is lined with a soft material (usually velvet or microfiber) to prevent scratches and damage to the finish of the headphones.
-
Design and organization:
-
The design is tailored to perfectly fit AirPods Max, with a molded interior space to securely hold the earbuds.
-
Some models have an internal mesh pocket for storing cables, adapters, or other small accessories.
-
Double zipper closure for greater security.
-
Portability: The case comes with a comfortable handle for easy carrying. While it offers superior protection to the original case, it's bulkier, which can take up more space in a backpack.
Advantages over the original case
-
Superior protection: The hard case provides complete protection for your headphones, including the headband, which is exposed in the Apple case.
-
Affordable price: It is a more economical alternative to the original case, offering greater functionality and protection.
-
Convenience: Allows you to securely store your AirPods Max in a backpack or suitcase without worrying about damage.
Considerations
-
Sleep mode activation: Sleep mode's effectiveness may vary between versions and, in some cases, may be less reliable than with the original Apple case. Some users report needing to adjust the position of the earbuds to ensure sleep mode is activated.
• • Size: Because it is a more robust case, it is larger and less compact than the original Smart Case.
