Illuminator's first product: the Bevy iPod Shuffle case

Sure, we've seen an iPod Shuffle go mano a mano with a knife-wielding owner, but the first product from Morphie's Illuminator project takes on bumps, drops, and bottle tops with the best of 'em. The aptly-titled Bevy wears a number of hats, the most obvious of which is a dashing 2G Shuffle protective case, but other built-in functions include acting as a key ring, earbud wrap, and bottle opener for when times are desperate. The Illuminator project was unveiled at this year's Macworld, and while hundreds of entries found their way in, this is the first of three winning designs chosen to be produced and sold to the public. The Bevy is currently available for pre-ordering in green, pink, blue, orange, and silver for $15.

"why no orange?"

Did I miss something?

I don't really understand the need for this myself, but it looks like others like the idea.

Ya know what? I actually like it :O

But I wanna hold one in my hands to see how the shuffle is retained in it...cause hard plastics are sketchy like that...

My younger brother, who is always searching for his shuffle to plug into his car, will love this :)

I own most of the Mophie products available for the Nano and they rock. They're hard plastic case for the Nano is the only reason I haven't destroyed mine yet. I have no idea why more stores don't carry their products, there's really no comparison!

Look on the website (http://www.mophie.com/products/bevy/?pod=shuffle) and check image number 5...its orange. They're probably putting it into production later.

Don't forget to take the Shuffle OUT before using it as a bottle cap opener!!!!
