Pokemon trainers who aren't concerned about fitting their Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 charging case in their pocket will undoubtedly be excited to slip their buds into Samsung's new Poke Ball-themed charger. It'd go nicely with the Pokemon-styled Galaxy Z Flip 3 phone that the company revealed in April.
Unfortunately for Pokemon fans in the rest of the world, the limited edition charging case holder is, like the Pokemon phone, exclusive to South Korea, says Gizmodo. It's bundled with the buds for 134,000 won (roughly $105), and comes with a selection of Pokemon stickers -- 5% of the packages will include the ultra-rare Mew -- for further customization.
Eevee, Pikachu, Mew and Ditto are among the stickers you can get, but the Mew one is pretty rare.
"The Galaxy Buds 2's standout feature is really their design," CNET's David Carnoy said in his 2021 review . "Not only are these earbuds smaller and lighter than the Buds Plus and the line-topping Buds Pro, but they nestle in your ears nicely and are relatively discreet."
Razor released a similar wireless charging case with Pikachu-branded earbuds in 2020, Gizmodo noted.
Samsung didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about a wider release for the Poke Ball holder.
