No, you cannot charge real AirPods with a fake case. AirPods are designed to be charged with the authentic case shipped by Apple. Fake AirPods cases usually lack the necessary chips and technology to charge the AirPods.
Additionally, the charging contact points within the case may be offset or out of alignment with Apple’s design, which further hinders charging compatibility. Charging the AirPods with a fake case may not only damage the AirPods but may also lead to a shock hazard and fire risk.
Therefore, users should always use the authentic case provided by Apple to charge their AirPods.
What do I do if I lost my AirPod case?
If you have lost your AirPod case, there are a few things you can do. First, if you are able to remember the general location where the case may have been lost, try to retrace your steps and search that area.

Does Find My AirPods track the AirPods or the case?

It not only gives you the rough geographic location of your AirPods or case but can also provide you with direction on a map.

In addition, if your AirPods are lost, you can use the Find My iPhone feature to locate them on a map.
How many years will AirPods last?
The exact lifespan of AirPods will depend on how often they are used and how well they are cared for. Apple states that AirPods provide up to five hours of listening time on a single charge, and they can last up to two hours on a 15-minute quick charge.
In terms of lifespan, Apple has not provided an exact measure, but reports suggest that AirPods can last up to two or three years, depending on how often they are used and the quality of their care.
It’s possible to prolong their lifespan by avoiding exposing them to extreme temperatures and storing them in a dry place. Keeping their charging case in good condition, as well keeping them clean can also help with increasing their life expectancy.
Additionally, avoiding exposing them to liquid, dust and debris, and making sure to charge them regularly (fully discharged batteries have reduced lifespan) can make sure AirPods last as long as possible.
Overall, with proper care and maintenance, AirPods can last up to two or three years.

Why won’t my AirPods show up on my Bluetooth?
There could be several reasons why your AirPods won’t show up on your Bluetooth devices. It’s important to start by verifying that both your AirPods and your Bluetooth device have enough battery life and that Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.
If the battery life is sufficient and Bluetooth is enabled, then it’s likely an issue with the connection between the two devices.
Start by restarting your Bluetooth device, as well as resetting your AirPods. You can reset your AirPods by pressing and holding the setup button for at least 15 seconds until you hear a chime and see the status light turn white.
If resetting the AirPods does not help, you may need to unpair your AirPods from any other Bluetooth devices it has been connected to in the past.
If those steps do not work, you can try connecting to your AirPods again while they are in their case and then trying to switch between AirPods and a different pair of headphones until both devices appear in the Bluetooth menu.
You may even need to restart your device one more time. If none of these steps help, it’s possible that you are having an issue with the AirPods hardware or software and would therefore need to contact Apple support.
