Not as fancy as the bundled iPod shuffle dock, but just as effective.

While we love our tiny li’l iPod shuffle, the way it connects to our Macs betrays its ultracompact design - you have to use a USB dock with a cable. The IncipioBud doesn’t do anything fancy, but that’s why we like it so much. It’s a basic USB connector for the iPod shuffle. No fancy iPod shuffle stand, no cables, no fuss, no muss. It’s a lot easier to carry around than the cable that comes with the shuffle. You’ll barely notice the IncipioBud in your pocket.

The bottom line. The IncipioBud should’ve been included with the iPod shuffle in the first place. For less than 10 bucks, it’s totally worth it.
