4 Stars Great design, sound just ok
This is great for a very small room. I use it in my kitchen when I am working. I have to have the volume full blast. It’s not Bose quality. It is fine for my needs. I am glad I found it.

4 Stars Good choice for very portable sound
Since my 1st gen iPod lacks a built-in speaker, I needed a product that would essentially perform the same function. After much shopping without finding many options I decided to take my chances on the Cyanics. It was a good choice.

In general, the reviews posted here are very accurate. The unit consists of the actual speaker/power supply married to a clear plastic case which houses the iPod. The black speaker part has one slider switch with three positions– off, on, and ‘on when swung’. This latter choice is a clever feature, whereby the unit is off until it is (smoothly and quickly) swung to the perpendicular, then it turns on. By putting the slider switch to ‘on’, the speaker is always on, even when folded parallel to the iPod. In other words, it does not have to be rotated to give sound, although the sound is louder if the speaker is swung out.

There is a small swing-out stand at the bottom of the plastic case, allowing it to stand alone vertically. Also as pictured it can open like a book and stand up hands free for horizontal viewing, although it seems fragile when used in this manner and I’m always afraid I will break it. The speaker unit also contains power and charging lights, an external headphone jack juxtaposed to the native iPod jack, and a usb port for charging. The battery will last quite long; it has only run out on me once, after I used it for a few hours straight. It recharges quickly. It does not use any power from the iPod.

Another nice feature is that the iPod data port remains available when this item is in use. This allows charging/syncing or the use of other accessories simultaneous to using the cyanics. One small problem in this regard is that the iPod’s data port is accessed through an opening in the bottom of the plastic case. This opening will neatly accommodate a standard iPod sync/charge cable, but is too tight for some other access. For instance, there is no way to use my iTrip which attaches through the data port. I am able to use my Sony bluetooth dongle, but I had to dremel some of the plastic case to make it fit.

As for sound quality… it is what you would expect from looking at the thing– quite adequate to replace the non-existent built-in speaker– but certainly nothing audiophilic. There is no external volume control and so you must use the iPod volume control as usual.

The attached plastic case does not match the manufacturing quality of the speaker portion, and this has been mentioned in other reviews. It seems made of cheap plastic… I quite expect it to break one of these days, especially given the torque applied to it through rotating the speaker or using it as a stand. Also, it is tricky opening the plastic case to take the iPod in and out. It takes some practice, and the two little clips are sure to break off if you’re not careful. Since when the iPod is encased in the cyanics speaker unit it will not fit into my belt case, I find myself frequently taking the iPod in and out of the Cyanics whenever I want to carry the iPod on my belt. It would be nice to incorporate some way of using a belt clip with the cyanics speaker.

I should note that I have used this unit daily for several weeks now without breakage or mechanical trouble, and so many of the quality concerns I mention are theoretical. Overall I am happy with the product, and it is certainly worth the price paid.

4 Stars A must have for anyone who travels.
This is a must have for anyone who travels. I work in a different office everyday and this product allows me to bring the contents of my ipod with me. The speakers are not great, but they are better than listening to music on computer speakers. What I like most about this is the auto setting. To turn off the speakers, all you need to do is turn the speaker and it shuts off.

5 Stars Just about perfect
Recently purchased an ipod Touch 8GB 2G, and needed something to protect it and help with the ton of fingerprints on the front and back. Looked around and had some trouble determing what was best for my needs as I wanted screen protection and the ability to use the dock with my Logitech speakers.

Unlike others I had no issues putting on the screen protection, and the case just snaps on easily (I haven’t tried to remove it yet.)

No complaints .. the dock adapter works great .. actually it works better that the one that came with the touch. Very happy with purchase.

5 Stars Great protection and good looking too.
The ClearShield is easy to install, has a helpful removable screen protector (in case you mess up getting it on the first time) and, being clear, allows you to see the back of your iPod touch, which is essential if you have engraving and it looks cool even if you do not. The shield does not add much at all either to the weight or to the bulkiness of the iPod which is great. The one warning (not a criticism) is that the case is very smooth so do not expect it to have as sure a grip as a rubber case, but there are groves on the side that greatly enhance the tactility of the case over the unprotected iPod while still adding a very protective layer. Personally, I like the smoothness as it allows me to get it out of my pocket easily and a rubber case would surely require more effort.

4 Stars very nice looking case!
So I’ve had this case for about a week or so…I love the look and design, it looks really nice and sleek. Doesn’t add bulk at all. The one thing is that it is kinda slippery when your hands are dry..but if your hands are sweaty its not..LOL..idk…I’ve dropped it a few times bc of that but only on a table thank god. ALSO I have dropped it on tile floor at school when it was in my sweater pocket, VERY GOOD PROTECTION. The case didn’t break apart or anything like how other ones would..and it was a pretty high drop.

The screen protecter seems pretty good quality to me. It’s glare proof, but because of that it makes the screen a bit grainy, but I don’t mind. Easy to put on, but i kinda messed up the placement cus I was rushing..so DON’T RUSH while applying. Doesn’t smudge too bad either. Shouldn’t have air bubbles if you know how to apply it..it’s pretty hard plastic so it should be easy to apply without bubbles.

PROS:

-nice, sleek, not bulky

-clear

-durable, good protection if you drop it. Won’t break open.

-good screen protector ~scratch resistant, glare proof, nice feel, smudges don’t show as much

-docking adaptor…though I don’t use it

CONS:

-The holes for ports and the corner where there’s a hole to put a coin to open it causes dust to get in..and scratches your ipod a bit. But I think all cases are like that..correct me if I’m wrong. I just get a little tape and put it on the corner to block the hole. Also open to clean it once in a while.

-Kinda slippery if your hands are dry

-scratches…of course it does, but yeah…lol

-PRICE! needs to lower atleast $10

I’ve researched a bit online for cases and so far this seems to me like the best one out there…so if your thinking about buying this one…JUST BUY IT!…it’s good :]

4 Stars Works as advertised
Great adapter. Works far, far better than some similarly-priced ones I ordered elsewhere. Does not add hiss to the signal. Unfortunately, it does occasianlly rattle inside the casette deck and has to be reinserted. For the price, though, I’m willing to live with that.

5 Stars Works very well and is cheaper than an FM transmitter
For those of us with older cars that don’t come equiped with an iPod dock, this is the next best thing. I read reviews of iPod FM adapters that broadcast the music on the iPod to an FM station on your car radio. Every review I read for these products – which cost $70-$90 complained of poor reliability and the difficulty of finding a spot on the FM wavelength to receive the signal as on drove around the country.

This gadget has a plug that goes into the earphone jack, and a casette tape that goes in your tape deck. The iPod’s music goes through your car’s stereo system which is awesome if you have a good system in your car.

This is inexpensive, simple to use, and pretty reliable.

When using this for the first time, I had a moment of panic, because “this side up” on the tape meant putting the end with the line to the earphone jack in the tape deck; this of course did not fit. I then noticed a groove in the top of the casette. I was able to get the line into the groove and run across the top of the casette so it fit in the tape deck and came out to attach to the earphone jack. This wasn’t explained in the instructions for the adapter and might frustrate someone unfamiliar with the adaptors. So now you know!

1 Star you get what you pay for
Only plays thru passenger side speakers and the distortion is awful. I threw it away.

5 Stars Love it!
I received this case as a gift for my 32Gb Ipod touch and it fits perfectly. I really like how it’s not bulky. My Ipod is secure while it’s in my purse or sitting on a table, etc. and I can leave the case on while I listen to music. This case is definitely worth every penny!

1 Star nice looking, but smells awful
at first glance, the item is very nice. but when you hold it close, there is a distinct chemical odor. I tried cleaning it with alcohol, washing it, and airing it. Nothing will rid of the strong odor.

4 Stars This case was a perfect fit for me !!!
high-quality material; inexpensive/affordable; fashionable; distinct odor when held close; securely protects the expensive 2nd Generation Ipod Touch 32G; still plan on buying a screen protector; Ipod Touch’s ports and buttons are still accessible; JUST PERFECT !!!

4 Stars Versitle
This is an all around good case. The armband can come off and it has a belt clip which is nice. The only problem is that the plastic screen protector makes using the touch screen a bit hard, but I bought this armband to workout with so I won’t be playing with the touch screen much anyway in this case. Very good solid feel, I am comfortable running around with my ipod in this case.

4 Stars Its ok
if ur looking for something to secure ur ipod touch 2G to ur belt this will satisfy you.

2 Stars Very displeased! I’m returning the item!
I just ordered this for my Ipod touch 8gb. I was really confused to realize that there is no hole in the bottom of the case for the earphone cord to come through. How am I supposed to listen to music? I also noticed that even though I only slipped my Ipod into the case twice to check it out, the material of the case was already starting to tear!

The only thing I liked was the armband and the way you can adjust it. It seemed like a good material that would be good if you were sweating during a workout.

Overall, I don’t recommend this because there is no where to put your earphones!!!!!!!
