Finally a sleek looking charger which matches the shuffle in terms of style. The extra audio jack is cool too, as I’m using a cassette adapter in my car. Guess I’ll have to grab this one. Curious how much it’ll be…

Neat… True Apple style. Compared to this beauty, both Xtrememac’s and Griffin’s offer look quite sleazy. I like the pivoting concept.
