Custom AirPods Max case: how to design one

A custom AirPods Max case is a light polycarbonate cover for AirPods Max, printed with your design and finished with a gloss. It is listed for AirPods Max and AirPods Max 2, so the case you use every day can show a photo, a pattern or your own artwork.

The print shape

The printed area follows the AirPods Max case template: an upright shape with very large rounded corners. The designer shows it with a dashed line on its edge and fades everything outside it, because that part does not show on the finished case.

• Center faces and logos, and keep important details inside the dashed line, away from the edge.
• A pattern, a texture or a close-up works well, because the rounded print shape suits simple pictures.
• Choose a background color if the photo does not cover the whole shape.

Which AirPods Max do I have?

Choose AirPods Max or AirPods Max 2 in the designer; both use the same print template. If you are not sure which you have, connect them to your iPhone or iPad and open their settings: in Settings, tap their name (or go to Bluetooth and tap the info button next to them), then look under About.

Design ideas

• A bold background color with a small logo or initial that is already part of your uploaded picture.
• A close-up of a texture: marble, wood, a fabric or a painting.
• A pet or a face, centered and zoomed in so it fills the shape.
• The same photo as your phone case, so the two match.

Getting the photo right

Use the original photo from your camera rather than a screenshot. Drag it so the subject sits in the middle of the shape, and use the zoom slider until the edges are filled. Fill covers the whole shape; Fit shows the whole photo with your background color around it. The designer warns you if the photo is small for the case.

Before you order

• Check that you chose AirPods Max or AirPods Max 2 to match your headphones.
• Look at the edge of the shape in the preview: anything in the faded area will not show.
• Use the dashed line in the preview to check that faces and logos sit inside the print shape.
• If you use a background color, check that it works with your photo and the print shape.

Your photo is uploaded only when you add the case to your cart, and you see the full price before you pay.
