By now, most insiders agree that Apple’s second-generation AirPods will bring some fairly significant upgrades to the much-beloved wireless earbuds, including sweat-resistance, wireless charging and iPhone-esque “Hey Siri” functionality. What we don’t know? When. The last rumor suggested, “Sometime in 2019.”

If you’re anxiously waiting for wirelessly charging AirPods, you actually don’t have to wait at all: a $15 case cover, made by NeotrixQI and available at Amazon, enables just that. It slips over your current AirPods’ case and works with Qi-wireless charging pads. No cords required.
