Third-party manufacturers were finally able to come up with some accessories that seek to address the criticisms hurled against the Apple AirPods Max smart case.

Apple released its much-hyped AirPods Max in December and like many other products, it did not escape the scrutiny of Apple fans. While the innovative over-ear headphones received much praise from users, some aspects of it became subject to criticisms to the point of ridicule. Its costly price at more than $500 received some negative feedback, with customers asking whether such a headset is worth it. However, for many customers, the headphones' price is not an issue but its smart case is. Most of them asked why Apple decided to include a smart case that for them has a strange design. After much criticism about Apple's AirPods Max smart case, third-party manufactures finally were able to produce accessories that may address these criticisms.

Many say that Apple's AirPods Max smart case has a strange design. While the Cupertino-based tech giant may have based its design on the structure of the innovative over-ear headphones themselves, it did not stop users from making fun of it to the point of making it a new Internet meme. Some users compared it to a woman's handbag, while others say the smart case looked a lot like sleep masks. The funniest meme of them all, apparently, is when users compared Apple's AirPods Max smart case to a pair of woman's bra. For such criticisms and ridicules to die down, third-party manufacturers came up with solutions in the form of new accessories to address the scathing criticisms.

One of such solutions is the protective "Shield Case" specially designed for Apple's AirPods Max. WaterField Designs, one of the many third-party manufacturers that design accessories for Apple, created the "Shield Case" to address some of the criticisms hurled against the AirPods Max smart case. Unlike the smart case that came along with every box of the innovative over-ear headphones that covers only partially each of the ear cups, the "Shield Case" holds the entire headset in a luxurious interior with three layers of protection. The "Shield Case" also has an inside pocket where you can put your charging brick, with a loop you can use to hook the case to a carabiner.

Aside from the waterproof zipper, WaterField's "Shield Case" also has a "Magnetic Leather Butterfly" that helps put Apple's AirPods Max into a low power mode even without using the smart case that came along with the innovative over-ear headphone. You can also fold down the magnets to make room for the AirPods Max and the Smart Case so both accessories can safely nestle inside the "Shield Case." WaterField hopes that their solution would help address the scathing criticisms that customers hurled against the Apple AirPods Max smart case.
