You're the G! After an irritated family member tossed these aside in frustration, I was determined to replace them neatly in their case. I used this same style years ago, and was pretty good at it, but that was ages ago. Once I saw you place the earbuds in correctly, (Left first, then Right), it was simple once again. Like riding a bike. So many consumers hate these things, and I get it. The case is so unforgiving! One mistake and it's no go. Much appreciated.
