“Isn’t that a Nano in the picture?  LOL”

umm,no….the screen and click wheel are fake…if you visit the site you will see that a shuffle slides into the case. the outside is for show only.

This is priceless art.  In ten years it will serve as a reminder of how giddy and dumb we were about the iPod.  $50 for $1’s worth of Legos. 

Bravo Tomi - whoever you are!!

So how are they able to just resell legos like this?

i am pretty sure the click wheel is functional.

That click wheel is not functional and the screen is static.  While a shuffle fits into it, its not for toting around the shuffle or controlling it. 

Can Tomi fashion a lanyard out of bricks?

What’s disturbing to me is that NONE of the proceeds are going to help the Katrina victims. Are you keeping all the profits for yourself, TOMI??

I’ve got 3 options for some extra money I have in my paycheck. 

1)  Buy PodBrix for my shuffle
2)  Buy an iAttire costume for my shuffle at http://www.iattire.net/
3) Flush the money down the toilet

Somehow I feel that #3 is the only option that won’t leave me feeling like a complete imbecile.

so let me get this straight… you are going to buy a case for the iPod shuffle that is $50 or half the cost of the shuffle itself, at least 3-4 times the size of the shuffle, and isn’t even fully functional???  I am all about fun design, but come on.

Isn’t the portability of the shuffle its hook? 

What a great idea to eliminate one of the key selling points of the shuffle.

i think ilounge misrepresented this by calling it a ‘case’.  its just something meant to be fun and silly geared towards lego/kubricks fans.

Let’s give this Tomi guy a break, OK?  We’re all just jealous that he’s going to make $7500 today for $150 worth of white and grey bricks and we’re all sloggin away at our desk jobs.
