How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a replacement case with a confirmed 450mAh battery that gives you extra full charges and a USB-C top-up routine, choose Yitonglian Charger Case Replacement; if you need the flexibility of charging either by cable or on a wireless pad, choose CCAN Charging Case Compatible. Both are hard plastic replacement shells for the AirPods 4th generation, both pair with one button press, and both tell you the battery level through an LED indicator. The real split comes down to one spec sheet difference: Yitonglian publishes a battery capacity and a charge-count promise, CCAN publishes a charging method list and a warranty.
• Yitonglian's biggest strength: a stated 450mAh cell that the brand says delivers up to 3 additional full charges on your earbuds, plus fast top-ups to 100% in roughly 30 minutes.
• Yitonglian's biggest trade-off: it lists USB-C charging only — there is no mention of wireless pad charging, so you're tied to a cable.
• CCAN's biggest strength: two charging paths. It takes a Type-C cable and it also works on a wireless charging pad, and the listing carries a 1-year warranty.
• CCAN's biggest trade-off: no battery capacity is published, and no "extra full charges" figure is given, so you can't estimate total run time from the spec sheet alone.
• Pick Yitonglian if you want the numbers spelled out and you're fine charging by cable.
• Pick CCAN if you already live on a wireless charging pad and want the warranty cushion.
Yitonglian's pitch is straightforward: it replaces a lost or dead AirPods 4 charging case and it tells you exactly what you're getting. The case is built for the 4th generation earbuds only — model numbers A3053, A3050, A3054, A3056, A3055 and A3057. It will not work with 1st, 2nd, 3rd generation or Pro models, and that's worth repeating because a lot of replacement-case returns happen for exactly that reason.
Pairing is a single button press — the phone recognizes the case and shows battery status, the same behavior you'd expect from an original case. The enclosure is white plastic with a hard shell, which matches the look of the earbuds themselves.
Who should buy it: anyone replacing a lost AirPods 4 case who charges at a desk or from a power bank and wants a documented battery capacity. Who should skip it: anyone who charges their phone and earbuds on a wireless pad and doesn't want another cable in the rotation. In my opinion, Yitonglian is the pick for the buyer who values published numbers over charging convenience.
CCAN Charging Case Compatible: Who It's For
CCAN covers the same ground — AirPods 4th generation only, same six model numbers, same hard plastic shell, same one-touch Bluetooth pairing, same LED power indicator — but it makes a different bet. Instead of publishing a battery capacity, it publishes charging options: Type-C and wireless.
That's the whole argument for this case. If your nightstand already has a wireless charging pad, you drop the case on it and you're done. No cable to hunt for, no port to align in the dark. If you're traveling and the pad isn't with you, the Type-C port is still there as a fallback. Two paths, one case.
CCAN also lists fast charging behavior: about 1 hour of listening time from 5 minutes of charging, a full 30 minutes to bring dead earbuds to 100%, and roughly 2.5 hours to charge the case itself. Those numbers line up closely with what Yitonglian claims for charge speed, so the practical difference isn't speed — it's how you plug in.
Two things to note before you buy. First, the case ships without earbuds and without a Type-C cable, so budget for a cable if you don't already own one. Second, CCAN backs the case with a 1-year warranty, which is the kind of detail that matters when you're buying a third-party replacement rather than an original part.
Who should buy it: wireless-pad households, and anyone who wants a warranty term in writing. Who should skip it: buyers who specifically want to know the milliamp-hour rating before they commit. In my opinion, CCAN is the better fit for the "I just set it down on the pad" routine.
• Best for published battery specs → Yitonglian Charger Case Replacement. It states a 450mAh battery and up to 3 additional full charges; CCAN states no capacity figure.
• Best for charging flexibility → CCAN Charging Case Compatible. Type-C plus wireless charging versus cable-only.
• Best for wireless-pad households → CCAN. If the pad is already on your desk, this is the friction-free option.
• Best for cable-first buyers → Yitonglian. If you charge from a laptop, a wall brick or a power bank, the missing wireless support costs you nothing.
• Best for warranty coverage → CCAN. A 1-year warranty is listed; Yitonglian's sheet doesn't mention one.
• Best for charge-speed expectations → a tie. Both land around 30 minutes to full earbuds and about 2.5 hours for the case.
• Best for fit certainty → a tie. Identical compatibility list: AirPods 4th gen only, models A3053/A3050/A3054/A3056/A3055/A3057, and neither works with 1st, 2nd, 3rd gen or Pro.
• Best for a quick visual check of power → a tie. Both use a clear LED indicator showing remaining case capacity.
• Skip both if you own anything other than 4th generation AirPods.
I'd buy the CCAN Charging Case Compatible. Here's my reasoning: the two cases are functionally near-identical on fit, pairing, LED readout and charge speed, so the deciding factor is what each one adds on top. CCAN adds a second charging method and a stated 1-year warranty. Yitonglian's advantage — the 450mAh figure and the 3-extra-charges claim — is genuinely useful information, and if battery math is what you care about, it's the right call. But for how most people actually live with a case — setting it down on a pad, occasionally plugging in — wireless support is the feature you'll notice every day, and a warranty is the one you'll notice the day something goes wrong. Check the current price on Amazon before you commit, since that's the one variable the spec sheets can't settle for you.
FAQ
Yes. CCAN supports both Type-C charging and wireless charging, so you can use a pad or a cable. Yitonglian's spec sheet lists USB-C charging only and doesn't mention wireless pad support, so treat that one as a cable-only case.
Yitonglian is the only one that publishes a capacity: 450mAh, with up to 3 additional full charges for your earbuds and roughly 30 minutes to bring them to 100%. CCAN doesn't state a milliamp-hour figure or an extra-charge count, so there's no like-for-like comparison — only Yitonglian gives you a number to work with.
For CCAN, yes on the cable — the case ships without earbuds and without a Type-C charging cable, so you'll want one on hand for wired charging. Yitonglian's sheet doesn't list a cable as included either. Neither product includes earbuds; these are replacement cases only.
