On the pros2 the case is smart by itself and it actually works good. On pro 1 the airpods are pinging at approximately 1 minute intervals. If you press directions wait about a minute your device will connect even if they are closed in the case, then you can play sound without a problem. Same thing is for ap3, but not sure for first or second gen.
