    I mean, this wouldn’t be all that stupid imo. Add some Apple watch functionality like fitness detection and easy syncing between phone and iPod Nano Buds, this would be a solid addition to a runner’s arsenal leaving no need to carry your $1000 phone on a run. Suppose you could use your watch for that and leave the case at home though. But more options aren’t a bad thing, not everyone has or wants a watch.

        Yeah, precisely. That’s what this would be, built into your headphone case. You never have one without the other.

          right, then what if you could sync any bluetooth headphones to the case? mind blown

          edit : or if it had a 3.5mm jack, so you could use wired headphones too? amazing. in fact, what if it also took AA batteries for emergencies?

      You are right, but I also think you missed the point of the post. This is basically an iPod nano from 2005 with a few extra features.

        Also a few less features given I’m guessing it can’t store its own music and needs to be paired with the phone.
