Japanese animated franchise Pokémon works in collaboration with South Korean technology brand Samsung on a new range of themed Galaxy Buds 2 cases. Together, the pack is made up of cases that represent the beloved characters Jigglypuff, Snorlax, and Ditto.
The cases also come with stickers in the corresponding design and are done in the same color palette as the characters. Notably, there is the choice of "the Galaxy Buds 2 for KRW 129,000 ($99) or the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for KRW 199,000 ($152)." The animated theme started off before this launch with the Poke ball cases that were designed for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro before along with the standard Edition headphones that launched last year in May.
