Chosen Solution

Just did what you apparently were considering, i.e. enlarging the lid with a Dremel-like tool. I had to stop the process when I saw some metal below the white plastic in the lid. Having checked with the X-ray image from the teardown, guess it’s just some magnets. So will continue to drill. I need my Pods to fit into the case with silicone tips on, hate to take them on and off every time.

Have you still not done it? :-)

Wanted to fit Airpods Pro to the case with the earhooks so this happened https://twitter.com/koosolek/status/1278

My lid came off is there a way to fix it I want to have a proper lid
