    WaterField Designs upgraded its AirPods Max Case with magnets instead of a zipper.

    It’s not hard to improve upon the case Apple includes with its AirPods Max, but WaterField Designs’ has upgraded its protective Shield Case from early 2021 with a magnetic closure instead of a zipper.

    Available in four finishes that mix colored leather with ballistic nylon or waxed canvas, the $129 case includes an internal mesh storage pocket, a fleece-like lining, and an additional magnet that puts the AirPods Max into low-power mode while inside.

    The Switch 2 has an excellent GameCube Easter egg.

    Open the Switch 2’s GameCube collection and it will launch with a red splash screen and take you directly to the three titles currently available: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, and Soul Calibur 2. But if you hold the left joystick in any direction while opening the collection you’ll be treated to the GameCube’s startup animation with the rolling cube and iconic intro music, as spotted by Eurogamer.

    iFixit’s Switch 2 Joy-Con teardown tells a familiar joystick story.

    Once again confirming what many original Switch owners feared, iFixit’s teardown of the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons reveals a familiar joystick design that uses a resistive material that could lead to joystick drift again if it wears down over time.

    The new Joy-Cons also don’t look any easier to disassemble and repair. You’ll need a tri-point screwdriver to remove screws, and iFixit had to use a pick and isopropyl alcohol to dislodge the batteries.

    Baseus’ car charger with retractable USB-C cables is now available.

    We called the Baseus PrimeTrip VR2 Max car charger the best charger at CES 2025, and now nearly five months after it was first announced it’s finally available with a small price bump to $49.99.

    The charger connects to a vehicle’s auxiliary power outlet and provides up to a total of 240W of power (up to 105W to a single port) across two retractable USB-C cables, plus an additional USB-C and USB-A port.

    If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission.
