[Imported Material] AirPods Rosewood Burl All-Wood Case | AirPods 4 / 5

01 / AWARENESS

Burl grain — no two are alike

Rosewood burl comes from the knotted growths on a rosewood trunk. Here the wood fibers don't grow in one direction but swirl and interlock, so the pattern revealed when it's cut can never be repeated. WKidea uses rosewood burl to craft an all-wood case for AirPods 4 / AirPods 5, and the position and depth of the pattern differ on every piece.

02 / MATERIAL

Rosewood burl | imported wood

Rosewood burl is reddish brown, with a pattern of fine swirls and eye-shaped spots. Because the fibers run in crossing directions, the wood tears easily against the grain during machining, so fewer usable whole pieces come from it than from regular rosewood — which is why rosewood burl is priced higher than rosewood.

Dark patches or small knots may appear on the case surface. These are natural marks left as the burl grew, not defects. The product photos show an actual sample; the pattern on the case you receive will differ from the photos.

03 / CRAFT

CNC subtractive machining × flagship three-round finishing

WKidea CNC-cuts the case shape from a single block of solid wood (subtractive machining, no injection molding), then finishes the surface by hand. This product uses our "flagship craft" process, three rounds in total:

• Round 1|Spray alcohol to raise the wood fibers → sand with 240 → 400 grit → hand-wax for initial protection.
• Round 2|Spray alcohol → sand with 400 → 600 grit → hand-wax for stronger protection.
• Round 3|Spray alcohol → fine-finish with 600 grit → hand-wax for the final polish.

Alcohol makes the wood fibers flattened by sanding stand back up, so the next round of sanding can even out the surface further. Practice makes perfect — the feel in the hand is built up over time.

04 / MADE TO ORDER

Made after you order, about 5 business days

Rosewood burl is hard to source, so we don't stock this case in quantity. Material selection, CNC machining and the three finishing rounds begin only after we receive your order, and it ships in about 5 business days (excluding weekends and holidays). If you need it by a specific date, please check with us on LINE before ordering.

05 / OPTION

Indicator light hole: keep it or go without

With indicator hole|A small hole on the front of the case lines up with the charging case's status light, so you can see the charging and pairing light directly.

No indicator hole|No hole on the front, keeping the full rosewood burl pattern intact. With the case on, the indicator light isn't visible; check battery level with the iPhone battery widget or in AirPods settings.

Both versions are the same price — choose under the "Indicator light hole" option when ordering. Product photos show the "no indicator hole" version.

06 / HOW TO USE

Assembly guide

01 Insert the base　Place your AirPods charging case into the wooden base.

02 Check the fit　Check how snugly the charging case fits the base. If it feels loose, use the included 3M adhesive along the inner side of the base for extra stability.

03 Attach the lid　Peel off the liner on the inside of the wooden lid, place it over the AirPods case, and press gently to secure it.

07 / CARE

Care routine

01　For everyday care, simply wipe it with a dry cloth.
02　Now and then, apply a thin coat of natural beeswax, then wipe off the excess with a dry cloth.
03　Avoid soaking it in water or leaving it in direct sunlight for long periods.

08 / FAQ

FAQ

Q: Can AirPods 4 and AirPods 5 use the same wood case?
Yes. Both generations share the same charging case shape, so this case fits both AirPods 4 and AirPods 5. AirPods 3 and the AirPods Pro series are different sizes and won't fit.

Q: What's the difference between with and without the indicator hole?
With the indicator hole you can see the charging case's status light directly; without it, the wood grain stays complete and you check battery level on your iPhone. Both are the same price — choose whichever you prefer.

Q: How soon does it ship?
This product is made to order and ships about 5 business days after you order (excluding weekends and holidays).

Q: Will the pattern match the photos?
No. Rosewood burl patterns are shaped by how the burl grew, so every piece is different; the photos show an actual sample for reference only.
