Apple is selling the black regular ones now. Catalyst direct ones ship in January. Guess it was good business for them to stock Apple first.

Still look forward to this one. Understand the two handed nature of it. But really like the lid protection.

How did you get your case so quickly? I thought they weren't shipping for awhile?

I don't see the black regular ones listed? Looks like I'll have to get the woolenex. I don't want to wait until March.

Gonna preorder directly from https://www.catalystcase.com/collections/catalyst-collection-for-airpods-pro since I want the red case and the only color the apple store has is black. I bought the Spigen Silicone case and was not happy with the fit. My lid popped open and I lost one of my airpod pros. I had to buy a replacement airpod pro. Luckily just randomly "my lost one" dropped out of a shopping bag a week after I bought the replacement so I returned to replacement. I like that the catalyst case protects the lid from randomly opening up.

I like the look of this case, what a pity they don’t make more colour options as a blue that looks like black, black or red don’t appeal. Why not purple, magenta or cyan? For the prices they’re asking I would expect a great of colour selection.

I have no doubt more colors will come. See all the choices for the regular AirPods. These are probably the most popular so this is what they first manufacture. @jwlbel be sure to use the 30% Ellen coupon. Good until 12/31.

Does the Woolenex case still allow you to easily slip case into the coin pocket of your jeans? I had bought a silicon case from Amazon, but the extra bulk and friction doesn't allow me to easily use that pocket.

What is the ellen coupon? I tried to enter the word "ellen" in the box that asked for code at checkout and it said it is not a valid code.

It's mentioned earlier in this thread so I didn't want to take credit for it, but it's "ELLEN2019".

Edit: Credit to @puckhead193 for sharing link to the coupon

Finally picked up my incase woolenex from Apple. It’s a much slimmer and better fit than the catalyst I had. Very happy.

Bought and incase case today. Fits great and looks great. The problem is getting the case off. Definitely not an easy off case.

Luckily i don’t expect to change cases often.

i received the uag hard case. it’s is very nice and protective, but makes the app feel huge. almost like carrying the powerbeats pro. i think i’ll now order a twelve south leather case. seems more firm fitted but also good protection.

Mine should be here soon (with a hefty customs fee probs :confused:).

It looks like it'll do a great job of protecting.

I'm still using and liking the Spigen Rugged case but I'm not keen on the open hinge cutouts they need for functionality.
