My wife and I each have a G3 iPod. We love them for the sound, size and choices they give us. For spring break my daughter flew out to visit us in Washington and we drove over the pass to Seattle to spend the weekend. No trip to Seattle with my two favorite women in the world would be complete without a shopping diversion. They leave me in the Apple Store at Bellevue Square and I’m happy.

I buy it for her and tell her to enjoy music. But the story doesn’t end there, she wants something else that she can use to carry it, something other then the lanyard. I had an idea.

I went to Marware and found the perfect solution. The SportGrip is an inexpensive, ($9.95), and sturdy case for your iPod Shuffle. It comes in a range of different colors and attachment options. Attach one to a backpack or belt loop or hook one on a zipper. To sync your shuffle, simply remove the cap without removing the SportGrip and connect to your computer’s USB port. It was perfect for my daughter’s college lifestyle. It comes in three-packs or singles. It’s a simple, rugged, and stylish solution for anyone with a Shuffle.
