Despite the wave of all-new Apple gadgets, many budget-crunched individuals are choosing to hold onto their old iPod shuffles and dressing them up with fun cases like this wafer-shaped case from Incipio Lab.
The wafer iPod shuffle case is made of shock-absorbing high density silicone and has an anti-static coating to prevent your precious gadget from damage. There are even three 'flavors'—strawberry, vanilla and chocolate—just like edible wafers.
