New waterproof iPod Shuffle

This looks pretty sweet but for the $250 pricetag, it's a bit pricey. But I'm actually thinking of replacing my shuffle with one of these.

1GB 2nd Generation iPod Shuffle
100% Waterproof
Headphones Included - NOT the POS ones Apple gives you.

These guys mod shuffs to be waterproof so it's not Apple but there's a 1 year warranty.

You can mail him your existing Gen2 shuffle, and he'll waterproof it for $75. However the waterproof headphones are $100. Sounds like a cool idea, but it doesn't retain the full functionality though. If you read his "fine print" is says:

"Please note that due to the waterproofing process, the on/off button and the shuffle button will be stationary. The functions of these two buttons are controlled either by iTunes on your computer (shuffle feature), by simply disconnecting your waterproof headset (Off), or pushing the center button of the wheel for On. The forward, reverse, volume increase and volume decrease, as well as the On center button will be slightly stiffer than your non-waterproofed iPod, but still fully functional"

I think I'd just go with the LiquidForce LiquidTunes (512) for $169 and not worry about waterproofing my iPod
