Uniqlo is sort of like the Old Navy of Japan, minus the ultra-annoying commercials o­n TV. They feature clothing that is cheap and suitable to be worn in most casual situations.

The company is introducing an iPod shuffle case called "color wear for iPod shuffle." Details inside.

Uniqlo will release the "color wear for iPod shuffle," a simple nylon iPod shuffle case, o­n July 11th. There will be two types available: a neckstrap type and an arm type. Prices are 590 yen and 790 yen, respectively.

The cases, according to Uniqlo, "fit and have the material of a leotard, with a hint of the shape of a snowboard cover, and have a simple design." The iPod shuffle can be operated while it is inside of the case, and o­n the case a pattern is printed that looks like the control panel of the shuffle itself. Five colors will be available: green, orange, pink, blue, and purple.

Cases will be available at some Uniqlo stores (Uniqlo Harajuku, Uniqlo Plus Shinsaibashisuji, and 44 other stores), o­n their internet shop, and at their mobile phone shop.
