iHome iH13B Protective Speaker Case for iPod (Black)

Seems a reasonable price until you open it and realize the plug in AC adaptor is not included, but for an addtional $21 plus shipping and handling they will ship you one. For this simple reason I would not trust this company. You can see in the owners manual where special stickers have been added after the fact to point this out (must have been many complaints). Seems better customer relations would be to just include the inexspesive AC adaptor instead of pasting these stickers all over the owners manual. Also be careful, much added documentation about what IPODs it will not work with!

It's a good thing to buy and hear it like in the beach ,park and all the places. But it dose not come with the charger. You have to buy it sepert.for like$ 22 plus shipping.

I love this product! I got the hot pink one on the clearance rack at Wal-Mart for $25 about 5 months ago and I use it almost everyday with my iPod Nano. It has great sound, and gets a lot louder than you would think. I love it's easy portability and I usually carry it from room to room with me, including outdoors when I'm gardening and to the beach. It doesn't suck batteries dry like other non-electrical docking stations. I wish I'd gotten a few more so I could give them as gifts.

This speaker box sounds great, and is louder than you would think. I use it all the time with my 2nd generation Nano, which fits nicely in the foam insert. The exterior buttons control all the functions they are supposed to, and the 4AA batteries last longer than I thought they would.

The only negative comment I have, is that the AC adapter is optional, and if you can find one, you would have to leave the velcro flap open in order to plug it in.

I really like this piece of equipment. It is one of the few ipod speaker set ups out there that runs purely off batteries (although you can get a power cord for it). The battery life is exceptional, the sound is very impressive for the size and it is extremely portable. It is very protective of your ipod, and the the interface on the outside makes for minimal opening of the case. (Only to change an album, really). If specifically for your home I would definitely recommend a powered ipod dock with speakers and other features, but this is amazing for bbq's, camping, the park, a car with no stereo, moving/construction projects, etc.
