As a small business owner myself, I love supporting other small businesses and I know the weight these kinds of reviews can carry so I’m not exaggerating when I say this but this product is not worth $49.
I have a black leather case for my old AirPods so I thought I was essentially getting the same thing here. Nope. Terrible quality. It doesn’t open or close properly because the ‘leather’ is so tough. Feels like a cheap plastic knock off.
