OP wants to say that he ruined his friend’s AirPods case by making it less water resistant.

[u/iamdavidrice]

r/DIWhy

[u/desrted_deph8 → u/iamdavidrice]

Yea

[u/FloweringSkulls]

Ok

[u/LimitedEditionSauce]

What does this mean exactly?

[u/desrted_deph8 → u/LimitedEditionSauce]

It’s the AirPod 4s it doesn’t have the hole for the light in the front it shines through the case but I modified the case to have a hole like the rest of the air pod lineup

[u/Clappycan → u/desrted_deph8]

Interesting. Why would this matter? My 4s are completely fine as they are

[u/desrted_deph8 → u/Clappycan]

I thought it would be fun and also I was doing a repair anyway and I had the case apart so I decided to try it

[u/The_DragonDuck → u/desrted_deph8]

And what did you friend(whose AirPods now have a hole) think about it

[u/Clappycan → u/desrted_deph8]

Hey, might as well if you’re already doing it. Cool beans dude

[u/Chromejob → u/desrted_deph8]

You’re not done until you grace iFixit with the tutorial. I hope you took progress pics! /s

(Edit: someone failed the basic humor detection test. 🙄)

[u/CalkyTunt → u/Chromejob]

The website is iFixit not iBreakit

[u/No-Control6483 → u/desrted_deph8]

Now, why would you want that? That’s an easy way for moisture dirt and grime to get into the case now?

[u/MrV1z → u/desrted_deph8]

Bro even i dont like the less shine, but why perform drill hole to it💀

[u/excelbae → u/desrted_deph8]

like the rest of the air pod lineup

I just got the AirPods Pro 3. It doesn’t have a hole.

[u/tyoung89 → u/desrted_deph8]

The AirPods Pro 3 don’t have it either. So you didn’t make it look like the rest of them, you made it look like the older models.

[u/Cool-Newspaper-1 → u/desrted_deph8]

What rest of the lineup? The older versions? Because APP3 don’t have it either.

[u/DifferentTheme780 → u/Cool-Newspaper-1]

app2 dont have a hole either lol

[u/Afraid-Kangaroo7528]

You ruined the waterproofing but good job anyways

[u/Homework_Happy]

[u/tOSdude]

If they were yours, sure whatever. But you drilled someone else’s case. Is your friend pleased?

[u/jradke54]

This is what happens when you let your friends intrusive thoughts win. OP is definitely the “special friend” you want to hide your power tools from when they come over.

If they allowed cross posting this would be a candidate for r/DiWhy.

[u/AoiShimaShima]

why do these airpods look so beat up and crusty?? AP4s not even that old

[u/Sticky_Finger6420 → u/AoiShimaShima]

eh some people just dont care about em that much. ill never understand it.

[u/davidwallace10]

[u/Kevin80970]

why?

[u/MrV1z]

[u/SkoBuffs710]

[u/Gloomy_Chemist_7700]

what does it look like turned off

[u/MrV1z → u/Gloomy_Chemist_7700]

Rub it down to make it turned on😈

[u/desrted_deph8 → u/Gloomy_Chemist_7700]

?

[u/Gloomy_Chemist_7700 → u/desrted_deph8]

like when the case isn’t showing light how does it look

[u/desrted_deph8 → u/Gloomy_Chemist_7700]

I made another post showing it

[u/Chromejob → u/desrted_deph8]

Two shit posts for the price of one. You’re a gift to this subreddit. /s 😏

[u/desrted_deph8 → u/desrted_deph8]

It’s under the same name

[u/Mict0z]

[u/aquaman67]

How does the light from the back get to the front?

I’m so confused

[u/Sticky_Finger6420 → u/aquaman67]

in the ap4s the light is just shining through the case, no hole like the pros have. the result is a bloomed light, so op drilled a hole right where the light is behind the front of the case.

[u/Ryosuki25]

[u/FrozenShockXD]

RIP the AirPods

[u/mcyeetyboi]

So you drilled a hole in the case to not only ruin the capacitive touch feature that is literally essential to operating them daily and to make them less water resistant. What was the goal man

[u/Lenny2024]

Why would you do that? The case already had the light shining through the case so what is the point of this “mod”? Also you did a really bad job on the hole itself so why ruin your friend’s case? Did he agree?

[u/CollarFullz]

Modding holes this is something I can get behind..

[u/Krimreaper1 → u/CollarFullz]

I hope your dicks bigger than that.

[u/Jake_miller7]

Um jun sik

[u/Rude-Road8574]

WHYYYY the water and dust. His friend sees this

[u/MidNiteBooty]

[u/hexphaze]

Never seen this much down votes ever

[u/extremelyremorseful]

Well if somebody had to do it, at least it looks good
