The third-generation Apple iPod shuffle has a ridiculously small and elegant design, but its lack of buttons can sometimes be a real buzz kill. The Scosche TapStick is a US$29 case for the iPod shuffle that bestows three buttons on the front of the device, mimicking the three controls used on Apple's headphone remote. A 3ft auxiliary cable is also included with the case.

Frankly, US$30 seems like a lot of dough to throw at an iPod that costs only US$80. But if you received the shuffle as a gift and just need a way to adapt the thing for your car stereo's aux input, the TapStick's relatively large buttons and snap-on design should do the trick.

Update: The retail price of the Scosche TapStick is US$29, and not US$39, as stated in the company's original press release.
