The Apple iPod Shuffle has always been a model of simplicity. The latest version includes a clip, but no controls, on the Shuffle itself. You need to use buttons built into the earbud cord to change volume or advance the song.
That's a clever system, but it's not for everyone. That's why Scosche introduced the TapStick case. Not only does it protect your Shuffle's surface with a polycarbonate shell, but it also adds three buttons, letting you play, pause, and adjust volume from the Shuffle itself. One upside to that is that you're no longer forced to use the Shuffle's included earbuds, and are free to use whatever headphones you prefer.
The TapStick comes only in black or white. I'd like to see more colors and patterns in the future. Just because the Shuffle comes in only two color options doesn't mean cases have to follow suit. It sells for $29.99, which is on the steep side, especially since the Shuffle itself costs only $79.00. The TapStick also includes a three-foot audio cable, to connect your Shuffle to your stereo.
