I love the iPod shuffle -- there's no doubt it's the cutest member of the iPod family simply because it's the smallest, and it has that handy little clip on the back. And even though they come in a variety of colors Apple has yet to offer shuffles in a genuine 18 karat gold finish. So for that kind of bling you're going to have to seek out after-market help, and XEXOO is where you want to go.

In truth they'll golden-up any iPod, be it shuffle, nano, or the video versions. Other benefits, besides the style factor, are 24 hour support and what is basically an iPod insurance policy: they'll replace it for you if anything happens (i.e. you drop it in the pool or run over it with your car).
