Spigen’s Retro AirPods Pro 3 Case Evokes Apple’s Macintosh Legacy

Spigen has launched the Classic LS AirPods Pro 3 Case, a fresh accessory designed with a distinct nod to Apple’s iconic Macintosh computer. The case, priced at $24.99, aims to appeal to users seeking a retro aesthetic and provides a solution for compatibility issues arising from the new AirPods Pro 3 design.

AirPods Pro 3 and Accessory Compatibility

The release of the AirPods Pro 3, alongside the iPhone 17 series in September 2026, introduced hardware and design changes, including a redesigned charging case. This new case is not compatible with existing accessories designed for the AirPods Pro 2, creating a need for updated accessory options. MacRumors first reported on the new case.

Classic LS Design and Features

The Spigen Classic LS case draws direct inspiration from the original Macintosh Mouse, featuring a “stone” color reminiscent of the classic Macintosh and a gray button. This button isn’t merely aesthetic; it functions as a secure lock to prevent the AirPods from accidentally falling out of the case. Amazon details the secure locking mechanism.

Beyond its retro design, the case is constructed with a polycarbonate interior and a TPU exterior to provide drop protection for the AirPods Pro 3. A lanyard is similarly included for easy portability. The case allows for both wireless and wired (USB-C) charging of the AirPods, and the LED indicator on the AirPods case remains visible through the mouse-shaped cover, mimicking the original Macintosh mouse’s power light.

Expanding the Classic LS Lineup

The Classic LS AirPods Pro 3 Case is part of a broader lineup of retro-inspired accessories from Spigen. The company also offers the Classic LS MagFit Card Holder, priced at $30, which is modeled after the Macintosh 128K, featuring a floppy disk-style accent and a vintage keyboard design with an “Hello” engraving. The Card Holder utilizes a strong magnet for secure attachment to MagSafe-compatible devices and can hold up to three cards. Spigen previously released Classic LS iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max cases in January 2026.

Pricing and Availability

The Spigen Classic LS for AirPods Pro 3 is available for individual purchase at $24.99. Bundle options are also available:

• Classic LS + MagSafe Wallet: $53.99
• Classic LS + MagFit case: $63.99

All accessories are scheduled to begin shipping at the end of March 2026. Spigen’s website showcases the full range of AirPods accessories.

Nostalgia and Modern Accessory Trends

Spigen’s embrace of the Macintosh design language reflects a growing trend in the accessories industry – blending nostalgia with modern technology. This approach appeals to both Apple enthusiasts and users who appreciate retro aesthetics, allowing products to stand out in a competitive market. The unique visual identity offered by the Classic LS case differentiates it from the many minimalist AirPods accessories currently available.
