If you’ve already given your iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max a retro ’80s facelift with Spigen’s Macintosh 128K and Apple Lisa-inspired Classic LS cases, you might as well make your wireless earbuds match. But instead of making the AirPods Pro 3 look like a decades-old desktop computer, Spigen’s case turns them into a replica of the Macintosh’s iconic single-button mouse.

The $29.99 case is available through Amazon and comes in two parts that attach to the bottom and hinged lid of the AirPods Pro 3’s charging case. Even wrapped in its vintage disguise the case can still open as designed, and its USB-C port and status LED are still accessible. Spigen’s case also includes a lanyard connector, as it blocks the one on the AirPods’ charger. It’s not a functional mouse, but its large gray button serves as a locking mechanism preventing the case’s lid from accidentally opening.

Spigen’s Classic LS collection also includes a MagSafe wallet matching the aesthetic of its iPhone cases. You can stick it to any phone or accessory with Qi2-compatible magnets, or use it as a standalone wallet. However, it’s an example of form over function, as the $29.99 wallet can only hold 3 cards (or a small wad of cash if you’re truly embracing the ’80s). Since it’s made of hard plastic, there’s little chance you can squeeze more in. Rounding out the collection is a Macintosh 128K-inspired $19.99 lanyard that’s only long enough to wear around your wrist. It seems like Spigen didn’t get the memo that longer crossbody phone straps are in.
