This new iPod shuffle-specific speaker system from Ignitek offers four total drivers, a unique shuffle docking system, and the ability to run off of AC wall or AA battery power. A detachable metal stand and black carrying bag are included.


InnoPocket Core Case for iPod shuffle - Click Here for Details
This new three-piece metal case for the iPod shuffle includes front and back halves that slide together, and a detachable, two-position alligator clip. You can carry the Core Case in your pocket, or wear it either upside down or rightside up on your clothes. A small hole near the top lets you attach a wrist strap (not included). InnoPocket plans to release this in August under the new Core Cases brand at a very reasonable price.


InnoPocket Magnum Case for iPod 4G/color/photo (Magnesium) - Click Here for Details
These larger versions of InnoPocket’s earlier magnesium hard cases for the iPod mini are sized individually for various thicknesses of fourth-generation black-and-white or color iPods. Available in multiple colors for the rear plate, the front casing is always clear, and the included belt clip is always black.


Mobifly iPod mini Mobifly Kit - Click Here for Details
This plastic partial iPod mini enclosure from France includes two belts - one a belt, one a shoulder strap/bandolier. You can wear the iPod flat or pop it up for an easy view.


Shure E4c - Click Here for Details
Shure’s newest, $299 earphones are positioned inbetween its previous $499 E5cs and $199 E3cs, promising “brilliant highs and extended bass.” They come with nine different sets of rubber and foam ear pieces, a set of replacement filters, a nice zipper case, a level attenuator, a headphone jack adaptor, and a cleaning tool.

I have a pair of e2c buds and they’re great. The e4c buds look really nice, but are there other colours available? I have a policy of never wearing white earbuds.

E4C for $184.95 at earplugstore.com
http://store.yahoo.com/earplugstore/she4cisea.html
Click on order and you will see price. Then go to earphonesolutions and tell them about the lower price and they will give it to you for that much I believe. I would definitely get them if i had the money, but I am just going for the E3C or E3. I wish they made them in Black though. (E3 or E3C)
