In regard to the appearance, Apple's AirPods Pro 2 is different from the first model, but accessory manufacturers are creating product-specific accoutrements to take advantage of new features.

The first item is a leather case made of calfskin for AirPods Pro 2. There is a notch for the Lightning port and it entirely encloses the AirPods Magnetic Charging Case. Although this item is designed exclusively for AirPods Pro 2, the speaker holes on the case are not cut out. The leather, though, is probably thin enough to let a lot of sound through.
The case has a strap that may be worn as a collar or a hand strap and is adjustable. MagSafe isn't listed, however wireless charging is feasible through the leather.
