Apple's AirPods are now available for pre-order, and accessory maker Spigen already has a product for people worried about losing one of the tiny wireless earphones, the AirPods Strap. Simply slide your AirPods into the mounts and wear them like any other set of Bluetooth earphones.

From Spigen:

Spigen AirPods Strap is the perfect solution to keep your AirPods close by! It is a simple yet innovative strap that comes with a mount on each end to fasten each AirPod for security. Its simplistic yet durable design promotes a tangle-free experience during usage and easy storage.

One of Apple's primary selling points for the AirPods is that they are truly wireless, with not even a wire connecting the two pods. Of course, for those that are worried about losing their AirPods, the Strap might be just the accessory they need, even if it makes Apple cry every time someone orders one.

While normally priced at $19.99, you can currently get the Spigen AirPods Strap from Amazon for $9.99 (opens in new tab).

And if you haven't already, you can order your AirPods directly from Apple.

  • This is good when you go out exercising, I haven't used the wired headphones in a long time, Bluetooth guy here! But when I'm laying down I only use one because I wanna hear when my wife is calling me or for whatever other reasons, especially when I have to get up either I put both in my ears or leave them behind so the Airpods in this instance are great for me! But this is a personal opinion! Cheers!
