iPod shuffle owners have always been a little overlooked when it comes to accessories. Headphones and playback controls are nearly your only choices. But now you have one more choice: the Pod a Porter. It’s a textured plastic tube meant to act as a necklace-like case for your iPod shuffle. But is it worth it? In one word, No.

Scosche’s tapSTICK for the iPod shuffle attempts to fix the biggest problem with Apple’s super miniature MP3 player: the controls/headphones. The tapSTICK takes the controls that started out on the headphone cable and moves them back onto the device. Or rather, on a case that slides over one side of the device. And I’m so glad that it does. The tapSTICK is moisture resistant, and it allows you to use any set of headphones that you want to.
