A new case for the iPod Shuffle promises to get your music protected but accessible as you get on the go.

Made by Mareware the new case does not cover the whole iPod, just the perimeter and the cap, leaving the centre exposed for easy access to the buttons.

Fitted with a carabiner and a keychain the case allows you to attach your Shuffle to your belt while out in town or to your utility belt while out on the mountains.

Made of silicon the LEDs are still shown and it stretches to get the little Shuffle out for charging/loading.

Priced at $8.95 it’s also pretty good value for money.
