The tray serves as its cradle with which to put the gadget. Inside, the organizer is lined with soft flocked material which should keep scratches off your precious techno stuff. The lining comes in a few cool colors like black, red and pink.

I think the decision not to get one was right for me since, I’ve had a few friends complaining  about its performance or have given up on the unit altogether. One of the complaints they have? The sound box isn’t so desirable. If you’re one of those iPhone owners with this complaint, you have to thank SoundClip for the solution.

The SoundClip is meant to boost the speaker volume of this mobile unit to a more desirable level, particularly increasing this by 10 decibels and between 6kH and 20kHz. With it, the sound comes of crisper and clearer, thanks to its tuned conical deflection chamber.
