Can you pair your AirPods to your phone if you have a generic case?

My daughter has the newer AirPods. She lost her case and bought one off Amazon. It wasn’t apple. Now she can’t get it to pair with her phone. Is there anyway around this??

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello,

I would think not, but she can order a genuine Apple case at a reduced price here:

Order replacements for Lost or Missing AirPods

Good luck.
