This iPod Shuffle Crystal Shell is a transparent, hard plastic case designed to perfectly hold your iPod Shuffle in relative safety. The 2-piece design features silicon seals for water resistantance, four interchangeable colored covers for the control pad (white, blue, apricot and translucent) and a lanyard strap. The clear hard plastic material allows any of our Shuffle skins to show through. How rugged is it? We ran over it with a Jeep Wrangler (4000lbs) to see if it hurt the Shuffle (or case). Both came out unharmed save for a few minor scrathes on the case. While we don't suggest or advise using your iPod for roadkill, under normal use, our Crystal Shell offers fantastic protection!
