Mia in house, dd worried it fell in loo. We have searched and searched so loo is assuming more of a possibility

I cannot find a replacement for 3rd generation AirPods online. Surely you must be able to buy it?

Please help!!!!!!

DS2 has a silicone case with an air tag on his AirPod case. I got fed up of helping him search for them.

Of course the gremlins moved it but it's found for now!!

I bought one off Temu. The fake xase charges the real airpods.

I have pixel buds and they do the same thing track the buds not the case, after a similar incident I got a silicon cover for the case with a loop and attached a tile (I've also got one on my keys and in my purse) , you could also use air tags, honestly it's revolutionised my life, so much time back I used to spend hunting for things 😁

Thank you. I really want an actual apple one if poss. Which will be more but I just can't find it. Goodness knows where the case is.

My DS lost his. I got a case on eBay- case only but genuine. £15. I then found the case down the back of his radiator !

That's pretty much word for word what she said.

To be fair I did and I didn't see it although I wasn't searching as she said she didn't go in.....

Thank god for that!!
Of course she didn't go into your ensuite, it was the airpod gremlins that put it there 🤪

It was in our en suite, that she swore blind she didn't go in to.

Should also say, teenager searched but I found it! So the first search was probably definitely not done very thoroughly.

WhotheHellisEdgar · 17/05/2023 21:43

We had the same recently, the case went missing in the house. After a week of searching it was found buried down the side of the sofa cushion - one that had been searched, but it was somehow missed. Tiny little blighters 😠
Thank god teenagers are no longer sharing one charging case! Hope you find it 🙏

Ok so she had the case coming in the house. We have tried with my case and it's impossible to get it to fall out of her trousers. So it should be in house and not down loo. We've looked in and under anything we can think of. The find me function finds the AirPods but they were in her ears. It's the case!
The Argos one is only for 1st and 2nd gen.

Have you been on the "find my" app - you can make them make a sound

To add - it will also hopefully show on the app where they were last seen in case someone else has picked them up in error etc. surely you'd notice them going down the toilet?! 🤣

in your car? Dressing gown pocket? Bathroom shelving unit?

All places mine has shown up after being MIA for a few days...

MotherofPearl · 17/05/2023 21:02

I feel like I spend huge swathes of my life helping my DC search for their AirPod cases. Drives me mad.

Stomacharmeleon · 17/05/2023 20:59

And if it's any consolation I have my sons case but no AirPods (glares at furry pug)

Stomacharmeleon · 17/05/2023 20:58

Argos? Or Amazon?
