The elago AirPods 3 Dust Guard is an aftermarket solution for users of the namesake Apple product that will provide them with a way to keep the item free from contaminants that can accumulate with daily use.

The guard device measures in at 0.04mm in thickness so as to not interrupt the case from opening or closing and is intended to prevent metal fragments or dust from accumulating on the magnetic surface of the case. The sticker-style installation will make the guard as easy as possible to install and keep in place during daily use.

The elago AirPods 3 Dust Guard comes in three colors to choose from including rose gold, gold and dark gray to have it perfectly match any style preferences.
