Quick answer

To install the Unicorn Beetle PRO case on your AirPods 3, align the charging port and hinge, then press the case halves together until they click securely. Check that all cutouts line up before use.

Why fit matters more than force

The Unicorn Beetle PRO case is engineered for a snug fit on the AirPods 3 charging case. Forcing it on can misalign the cutouts for the charging port or the status light, which can affect everyday use.

The metallic red finish is bold, but the real priority is a secure fit. If the case feels loose or doesn't snap closed evenly, remove it and start again rather than pressing harder.

Step-by-step installation

  1. Clean the charging case: Wipe the AirPods 3 charging case with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or debris. This prevents particles from getting trapped between the case and the charging case. Check that the charging port is clear before proceeding.
  2. Orient the case halves: Identify the front and back halves of the Unicorn Beetle PRO case. The half with the larger opening should align with the lid hinge of the charging case. If the hinge doesn't align, flip the half before pressing.
  3. Insert the charging case: Place the AirPods 3 charging case into the back half of the rugged case, ensuring the Lightning port lines up with the cutout. Press gently until the case sits flush. The port should be fully visible; if not, remove and reposition.
  4. Snap the front half on: Align the front half over the lid and press evenly along the edges until you hear a click. Work from the hinge side toward the front to avoid misalignment. If it doesn't click, check for trapped edges before pressing harder.
  5. Verify all cutouts: Check that the status light, charging port, and lid hinge are fully accessible. Open and close the lid to ensure the case doesn't obstruct movement. If any cutout is blocked, remove the case and repeat the steps.
