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?

I found one on Amazon for £36 or so, does that help if you haven't found it yet?

Yes, I'd also want a genuine apple one too if possible. My AirPods Pro case can be pinged from find my iPhone and it makes a sound at least. I suppose 3rd gen doesn't?

I found my in the breast pocket of a coat I don't wear much, I had evaded a pat down on previous checks because it was a high up pocket.

Argos? Or Amazon?

Stomacharmeleon · 17/05/2023 20:59

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

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

PaintDiagram · 17/05/2023 21:02

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

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

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?! 🤣

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.

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 🙏

WhotheHellisEdgar · 17/05/2023 21:45

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

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

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

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.....

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 !
