I just don’t get why anyone would buy an armband, “protective” case, etc. for a damn mp3 player that clips onto practically anything and is so lightweight, you can’t even tell it’s there. Somebody please tell me why the hell you would purchase this? And really, $20? That’s 25% of what the Shuffle retails for…I just don’t get it.
BTW, I own the new shuffle…

THE POINT: The clip isn’t always stong enough!
The Action Jacket protects the shuffle from rain and sweat which WILL short it out. A pretty compelling reason to frop $20 if you use it for your workouts.
It also gives it a bit more noticeability. The Shuttle is so light I worry Im going to forget to unclip it from my shirt and put it throught he was.

The real problem is here that these products are made by DLO, a company who does not stand behind other cases that they make, why start now?

yay…more bottom quality junk from DLO
After my experience with one of their cases, there is no way I would hook up a power source from them. It is frightening to think what that would do to my iPod.
