Are there any electronics in the AirPod case lid?

Please keep us updated as to your success, finding or failure ,-)

same here. boring 'put in' 'put out' everytime.

Did you succeed?

Sorry guys for not updating you with the results.

I drilled the lid and the case deep enough to get the following results:

No electronics inside the lid, only four small magnets. Coupling magnets are in the case drilled to the same depth. The lid also has a couple of small black foam pieces with unknown purpose that tend to get in the way when drilling and end up being torn off. Also, both the lid and the case are comprised of several plastic details with some empty space in between, so when drilling you may easily get a hole in one layer. In the end, my case interior got a pretty ugly look but it can now accommodate AirPods with silicone tips on (approx. 0.5mm–1mm thick) and charge them with the lid fully closed.

The problem with AirPods that was intended to be solved with tips wasn't solved however. They still fall off my ears too easily. The best thing I can do is to keep my ears and AirPods as clean as possible so the Pods would sit in place a bit longer.

All in all I'd say drilling wasn't worth it.

Thank you so much for the update.
