Mophie Bevy shuffle cases

Mophie has begun shipping the Bevy, an unorthodox case for Apple's iPod shuffle. The case is made primarily from sturdy transparent polycarbonate, rather than foam or leather, and attaches to keys through a loop and keyring. Interestingly, the case includes a bottle opener that requires users to remove the iPod shuffle before use. The opener is a part of a stainless steel insert available in matching blue, pink, green, orange and silver colors. Grooves in the polycarbonate make it easier to wrap as well as store earbuds, and each color of the Bevy is priced at $15.
