Rip that iPod shuffle apart… carefully.

So you just know the iPod shuffle will be the next casuality in the non-replaceable battery saga, right?

Or, take the guts of your shuffle, sew it into your favorite article of clothing and give that Burton snowboarding jacket a run for its money, fashionista.
