Pad & Quill today announced new leather case options that are designed for the AirPods Max and the AirPods Pro. The AirPods Pro Max Leather Case, priced at $129.95, is made from full grain American leather with a thick foam layer covered with ballistic nylon. The AirPods Max slip inside and there's a divider in the middle along with an interior pocket for holding a charging brick and cable.
There are two magnets built into the case that are designed to put the AirPods Max into low power mode to preserve battery life. A zipper at the top keeps the AirPods Max protected in a bag or backpack, and there's an access port for charging while the AirPods Max are in the case. The case is also able to double as a stand, and it comes in two leather colors.
The Little Brief for AirPods Pro is a small briefcase that's designed to house the AirPods Pro. It has a tiny handle and a fold-over design that makes it easy to slip the AirPods Pro in and out.
Wireless charging is supported, and the case, like most Pad & Quill products, is made from hand stitched leather. The Little Brief Case for AirPods Pro is priced at $50.
Both the AirPods Max and AirPods Pro cases can be pre-ordered from the Pad & Quill website.

This brand seems to get heavy coverage on this site. Personally not a fan of any of their products. In the context of them alway popping up here, I am wondering if I am the odd one out.
All this because they couldn't make a decent case to come with it, and something called a power button.
Being an actual owner of airpods max, I still see no reason for a power button. They turn on when on your head and off when not. To have to remember to turn it on and off every time would not be helpful one bit. Do your AirPods Pro have a power button? No. Not necessary.
