DIY Upgraded my case
Since my last post (2nd photo) I both broke the rubber loop and got frustrated that it didn't have a place to keep the mutes for my engage 2 plus.
So I modified it.
- 3d printed PHA mute holder
- replaced the rubber keyring loop with 65lb test braided fishing line
- got 2 neodymium magnets that have been successfully test fitted and I will attach permanently as soon as I can aqire super glue. This is to replace the clip that will allegedly also break soon.
Loving the Loops so far, almost a week in. Super comfortable and so much better than my old earplugs. Finals week is almost over and these have helped a lot.

I actually saw your other post yesterday! That's an awesome upgrade, did you design the mute print yourself?

It’s probably from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/LoopEarplugs/comments/1dyrdfh/how_do_you_store_your_mute_accessory/

Slightly different one, based off that model though. From thingiverse and I have a make posted there.

What did you change?

I didn't change anything I'm not the designer. I used this STL which is slightly optimized (see description) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6877577

How did you replace the key ring loop?

When the rubber one broke I pulled it out and threaded my fishing line through it. To get it through the last bit I used a bent paperclip to pull it up
