This little wonder is such an eye catcher/conversation starter (go for the green, the other color choices are blah)! I use with an iPod Touch 3G. Volume increase is not very noticeable (since this was really designed for the iPhone 4). What I and others noticed is that the sound is actually a bit clearer and just slightly louder thru the horn than thru the iPod's speaker. Wonderful stand to play movies, YouTube, TV shows, etc. I love that it does not use power/batteries. Definitely not for an audiophile, but then, that is not what the product claims to be,is it? I would buy again/recommend.

let me tell you first that I had very little expectation from this product. But it's incredible that you can get a sound level boost with this product without any external power! And yes, it works as a great stand too.

Of course don't expect any Bose like sound quality from it. This is perfect to carry in your car or for facetime calls. I keep one in office, one in car and one at home!

I've been using this since the summer and I've found it helpful to listen to podcasts in my car (which lacks a headphone port) and I find it does the trick. Even though my Honda Civic is noisy and the road noise can be a problem sometimes, for city traffic the device does the trick. A completely different story for highway traffic though... although you can hear the podcasts, the highest volume is not enough to understand them fully. Of course, if you have a car that blocks the traffic/road noise outside, this should work for you in city and highways.
Music is a different story... it's distorted to the point of being disagreeable and I can't listen to more than one song with this. I have tried different devices and I have yet to find the right FM transmitter that doesn't drive me crazy with the constant hiss... I'll keep looking.

Just got my iPhone 4S super stoked on it. Put my Bone Horn on it and it doesn't help it at all. When i had it on the iPhone 4 it was amazing. But for some reason on the new phone it blocks it a bunch. I hope they make a new redesigned one that works better. Maybe thats why they are all so discounted right now.

This was so inexpensive I thought it probably wouldn't work but it does! Perfect for watching movies in bed or moving it around the house to listen to music!

Not totally what I was expecting, but really cute. good for bedside use if you don't have an iHome or similar. but doesn't make it loud enough for car use, really.

slow shipping, poor quality, the material is flimsy and should be probably selling in dollar stores. neither the "amplifier" nor the plugs on either side at the bottom that hold it together stay in place. Absolutely zero amplification and i felt the phone actually sounded better and crisper without this device. Worse, this little contraption actually blocked much of the sound coming out of pod speakers, with mostly muffled and suppressed audio at higher volumes. waste of money and not worth returning to the store in china.

This was supposed to be a stocking stuffer for my husband and I get home and he has opened it, Well the sound is amazing for such a little thing, I have the Iphone 4s and as long as I dont have my case on I have no problems with it, Well worth the price buying another for myself.

I bought this on a lark, since it was discounted. The product I received appeared to have been swept up off the warehouse floor, as there was a lot of dirt and dust on the outside, and the product itself was a tad smeared. However, soap and water fixed that right up.

Next on my list of "meh?" was that it retained that fresh plastic smell that these things seem to exude for a while, but even that dissipated with a bit of being not in a package.

On to the product itself: It is flexible. I didn't expect that, it looked like a hard item online. Perhaps I missed something somewhere, idk. However, excessive handling will cause it to tear (it's flexible plastic fer crying out loud). It comes in two pieces (preassembled, but if you want to take it apart) but needs to have both pieces to be of any use.

Otherwise, it works great, amplifies the sound nicely, doesn't interfere with either the screen, button or the mic hole. It even has a nice slot for the charger cord to go through without impacting the ability to stand upright or have the cord do what it's supposed to do.

I didn't try this with any other vendors charger cords, so idk about that.

I liked it. I'ld buy another, if they weren't going for full retail.

This little thing really is very cool. I have the iPhone 4S and I think it works great. I would definitely recommend to anyone that is considering!
