For fans of retro tech aesthetics, Spigen has crafted an AirPods Pro 3 case that borrows heavily from Apple’s nostalgic 1980s design language-specifically, the iconic single-button Macintosh mouse. Priced at $29.99 and sold through Amazon, this case is a clever nod to the early days of Apple hardware, turning the tiny wireless earbud charging case into a miniature piece of computing history.
The accessory comes in two pieces that snap onto the bottom and hinged top of the AirPods Pro 3 charging case. Despite its vintage look, the case doesn’t hinder functionality: the lid opens as intended, and the USB-C charging port and status LED remain accessible. Notably, the large gray button on the mouse replica serves a practical purpose by locking the lid, reducing the chance of accidental openings. A lanyard connector is integrated since the case design blocks the original AirPods’ strap hole.
Spigen’s Classic LS collection extends beyond the AirPods case to include a MagSafe wallet styled to match their retro iPhone cases like the Macintosh 128K and Apple Lisa designs. This wallet uses Qi2-compatible magnets to stick to any device or accessory, but practicality takes a back seat to style-it can hold only three cards due to its rigid plastic construction. At $29.99, it’s a clear homage to the compact, minimal storage solutions of the 1980s.
Completing the lineup is a $19.99 wrist lanyard inspired by the Macintosh 128K, though its short length feels a bit out of step with today’s preference for longer, crossbody straps. Still, it’s another nostalgic touch in a suite of accessories dedicated to celebrating Apple’s pioneering designs.
These products tap into a trend of consumers seeking tech accessories that blend modern utility with vintage charm. While not the most practical for everyone, Spigen’s retro-styled gear offers a fresh way for Apple enthusiasts to showcase their tech heritage on everyday devices.
