The specifically engineered hard case protects the speakers and iPod while traveling or hanging around on the beach.

Taking a shiny iPhone or iPod to your next beach trip to enjoy your tunes in sand, sun and sea environment might end up in a not so shiny iPod afterwards.

The beach is a great place to relax but a rough environment for electronic devices. Sand and splash water do not go well with them. And earphones might not be the most convenient way to listen to music while tripping from sun oil.
