No, the Darth Vader 3D AirPods Case: Collector’s Edition isn’t a late April Fools’ Day joke, just a real collaboration between Casetify and Star Wars. This premium AirPods holder is shaped like Darth Vader’s helmet, complete with authentic breathing sound effects.
Just so there’s no confusion, this is a 3D stand shaped like Darth Vader’s helmet, not a slim protective case. It acts as a holder for your AirPods (1st and 2nd Gen, not AirPods Pro or 3rd Gen), with a slot for the AirPods case and a keychain loop. As previously mentioned, it has real Darth Vader breathing sounds that play when you press a button, making it a big hit for collectors. The matte-black look and added goodies (stickers, a carabiner, and a Star Wars phone charm with C-3PO and droid mini figures) make it even more appealing.

It’s not just about style—the stand keeps the charging port easy to use and supports wireless charging without removing it, but its bobblehead design focuses more on display and fandom than being super portable. This also means that it’s also chunkier than regular AirPods cases.
Shown off at Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025, this item is aimed at fans and collectors, with its limited-edition label and Galactic Empire style. That helps explain the steep $132 price, which matches its Collector’s Edition vibe, part of Casetify’s Star Wars “Power the Force” campaign launched for Star Wars Day 2025. Check it out here.
