14 DAY TRIAL // Speck, a company that specializes in the production of bags and packs, claims to have come up with a solution to eliminate the risks of scratching, damaging or losing your tiny Apple player. The durable and lightweight TechStyle Case, built exclusively for the 2nd- and 3rd-generation iPod, also frees users from the hassle of tangled headphones, the company says.
Softpedia noted earlier that Apple's newest iPod model is, indeed, small enough to easily get misplaced, thrown in the washer, etc. While we don't believe the iPod shuffle was meant to be carried around hidden inside a case, Speck considers the TechStyle case is “the perfect way to keep your iPod shuffle safe and tangle-free!”
As the company explains, “The durable hard shell exterior provides protection, while inside, the ingenious cable management system keeps your headphones wrapped up and ready to go.” Upon purchasing the product, customers receive an adapter for use with the latest 3rd-gen iPod shuffle. The included iPod shuffle 3rd-gen adapter is made of a soft, rubbery material, while the iPod shuffle 2nd-gen “holder” inside is made of hard plastic.
“With the hectic schedule of everyday life, it’s easy to understand why people can feel extra frustrated when they reach for their iPod shuffle only to find their music player scratched up and their earbuds tangled up in a giant knot,” Bryan Hynecek, lead designer at Speck, shares. “That’s where TechStyle comes to the rescue. Our compact and protective cases keep the iPod shuffle bruise and scratch-free and your earbud cords organized and ready for hassle-free listening.”
TechStyle Case's main features include:
– securely holds your iPod shuffle (2nd- or 3rd-gen) & earbuds; – compact, functional hard case protects in style; – built-in earbud/cord management system; – lightweight, travel-friendly design is easy to store; – oversize zipper pull is easy to open/close case; – includes removable carabiner clip for extra flexibility; – available in cool contrasting colors and classic black; – includes adapter/insert to custom-fit the latest (3rd-gen) iPod shuffle.
