the case comprises:
a power supply,
an electrical connector configured to electrically connect the power supply to an aerosol-generating device received in the holder, and
power supply control circuitry configured to control the supply of power from the power supply to the aerosol-generating device received in the holder and connected to the electrical connector,

the holder position detector comprises holder position detector circuitry configured to count each movement of the holder from at least one of the closed position to the open position and the open position to the closed position, and to compare the count of each movement of the holder to a threshold value, and
the holder position detector circuitry of the case is configured to supply a signal to the aerosol-generating device when the aerosol-generating device is received in the holder and connected to the electrical connector, and when the holder position detector circuitry determines that the holder is in the closed position and the count of each movement of the holder exceeds the threshold value.
