Colorful earphone cases for $3 (3) or $5 (5) with free shipping from China

If you don’t mind waiting for a few weeks or ordering things from China or Hong Kong, there are a couple of colorful earphone cases that are offered at around $1 per case. The colorfulness is also a plus if you like to color-code items, so you can easily tell which earphone is in which case just by the color of the case.

This is the Pack of 3 for under $3 with free shipping, and this is the Pack of 5 also with free shipping. These ship from China and there is a shipping estimate there. As usual, make sure you evaluate the sellers (percentage, number of ratings).

Check the reviews for each of the items. There are reviews that talk of smells and smelliness, so be sure to look into it if that’s a concern. There’s only so much one can expect from a $1 earphone case shipped for free all the way from China 🙂

The first generation Fiio X3 digital audio player, bundled with a 64GB Snadisk MicroSD memory card and a coaxial connection kit is offered in “Used – Very Good” condition (repackaged) for $186 by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. A marketplace seller with just 5 total ratings has it for slightly less if you are a more adventurous shopper.

The second generation X3, in new condition and without the Sandisk and coaxial goes for $200 or $170 Used – Like New (store display in original box).

Speaking of the X3, the Fiio HS3B protective case is down to $5 in new condition. It is fulfilled by Amazon, however, it is part of the Add-On program, so you need to place an order of $25+ before you are allowed to buy it. If you buy it together with an X3, you are obviously over $25. Or you can reach $25+ by getting six of these (they are priced $4.99 each but I round prices in the blog for simplicity).
