Tubular Wireless Earbud Cases

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Conceptual Apple AirPods Pro Case Reimagines the Device

— March 9, 2021 — Tech
The Apple AirPods case is often compared to a pack of dental floss that is functional but slightly clunky, so this conceptual Apple AirPods Pro case has been imagined as a tubular alternative.

The wireless headphones case ditches the rounded box design of the original in favor of a sleek capsule form that can be easily slide into a pocket when not in use. Each of the earbuds are held in opposite ends of the tube, which further enhances the common practice among existing AirPods users to use one earbud at a time to maximize battery life when on calls.

The conceptual Apple AirPods Pro case is the design work of Iván Antón and is imagined in a signature white finish as well as a demure black option.
Trend Themes
1. Sleek Earbud Cases - The market opportunity is to create stylish and compact cases for wireless earbuds to offer consumers a practical yet aesthetically pleasing alternative to the functional yet clunky designs currently on the market.
2. Single Earbud Usage - The design opportunity is to create earbud sets with separate battery life so that consumers can use a single earbud at a time, extending battery life and enhancing convenience.
3. Tube-shaped Tech Accessories - The trend opportunity is to create different tech accessories such as phone cases or power banks in the same tubular design as the AirPods Pro case.
Industry Implications
1. Technology Accessories - Companies within the technology accessories industry can create innovative earbud case designs as well as explore integrating features to increase convenience and battery life.
2. Fashion Accessories - Companies within the fashion accessories industry can leverage on the trend of sleek and stylish earbud designs to expand their product lines and target a new consumer market.
3. Consumer Electronics - Manufacturers within the consumer electronics industry can explore the design possibilities of other electronic devices that would complement the tubular format of the earbud case, offering a cohesive product line of tech accessories.
