If you are facing this issue and don’t know what should I do, then you don’t need to worry because I’m here to help you out.

The case of AirPods is required initially to establish the connection between your AirPods and your device. If you have already paired your device with AirPods, then you may not need the case to connect and pair it with the device.

How to Connect AirPods Without Case?

The case of AirPods has two jobs to do. First, it charges your AirPods and by displaying colors, it lets you know its status whether it is charged or not. For those who aren’t familiar with the colors of the AirPods case, here’s what it indicates to you.
1. Green: When the LED of the AirPods case turns green, it means the AirPods or case has been fully charged.
2. Orange: When the AirPods case blinks orange, it means the case or AirPods is currently charging.
3. Flashing white: When this color appears on the case, it means it is ready to be paired via Bluetooth.
4. Flashing amber: It means your AirPods or AirPods Pro is facing an issue and you’ve to fix it.
And the second job of the AirPod is to pair a new device to it. With the help of the back button of Apple AirPods, you can reset or reconnect your AirPods to any iOS or Android device.
