5 Stars Nice piece of leather
Perfect in every way. I especially like the way the flip cover closes tightly against the case. If you are wearing it on your hip you won’t catch it against anything. Wish I’d gotten it with my Ipod several months ago
5 Stars Ipod Classic 120 leather case
I love this case. I can clip it my belt or waistband while exercising, and it is very secure. The controls and screen are still very accessible.

5 Stars Excellent product — excellent value!
I have purchased a couple other brands of Bluetooth car speakerphone, each of which has worked OK. But this Moto T505 is superior — it has a small footprint, is easy to set up, and easy to link with all phones I’ve tried with it. The sound clarity is very good and the battery is quite good as well. I now have purchased several for family members so they can drive and talk more safely. I would recommend this to anyone.
5 Stars So cool!
I was skeptical about this when I bought it, but needed something to keep my hands free while driving. This is sooooo cool! You can call someone, open playlist, accept/reject calls all with one push of a button. It took me only a minute to get it hooked up to my phone and the FM set on my car radio. I promptly called my sister and was pleased to hear how clear it was over the car speaker system, great for a car normally filled w/ noisy kids, and she had no problem hearing me too.
I love it!
3 Stars Pretty good, but can improve
Here is a nice little product that I like a lot. It doesn’t get 5 starts because it is not perfect, and it doesn’t get 4 stars because it has problems, but it is still quite good and I use it a lot in my car.
The MotoRokr T505 is a battery operated bluetooth device that hooks to the visor and allows you to receive or make hands-free phone calls in your car. While it has its own speaker, it can also transmit the sound through an FM frequency so that you can listen to your calls on your car’s stereo system.
Furthermore, it supports A2DP protocol, which means that if your phone is compatible, you can stream music to its speaker or to your stereo system. And not only MP3 music, as it works well with applications too (so, if you have Windows Media Player or equivalent application in your phone, you can actually listen to Internet Radio or Podcasts, for example).
The main problem I have with this device is the transmitter strength. While I guess that it could work well with a front side antenna, my car has a rear side and the signal strength is not that high. Makes it hard to listen on FM in a busy area (probably most larger cities). There is a workaround though, but it is a little annoying (keep reading to find out).
Other issues are the awkward operation. Turning it on and off is actually unecessarily hard, as you need to press the power button on the back of the unit for several seconds before it will turn on or off. For your own safety, do not try to do this while driving.
Another awkward operation issue is the FM frequency setup. This device will automatically search the current area and choose the “less” crowded frequency for you. It doesn’t do a good job, specially in crowded areas. With time, specially if your driving the same route everyday, you will notice which frequencies work better. You can then store them as one of the 5 preferred stations. Even then, it will only pick a preferred frequency if there is no interference when you try it. You cannot force it to pick a frequency you want, not you can store a frequency that wasn’t picked automatically.
On the other hand, there are several other very nice features about this thing. I specially like the mini-USB charging plug, its small size, long battery life, its visor clipping capability and how it is well positioned in my car to access the controls, which are basically call/receive, play/stop, previous/next.
It also works very well with voice calling if your phone supports it and it will tell you the number of the person calling when you receive a call.
With my phone, bluetooth connection is a breeze and works pretty well. Turn it on and the connection is aquired. Also, I have had not problems with noise, echo, or sensitivity of the mic. All work very well in my car.
Here are some tricks I found over time that can make your life easier with this device:
Once you have chosen one or more preferred stations, turn on the FM transmitter in your parking, specially if it is underground. As there is poor reception there, it will pick your preferred stations most of the time.
You can greatly improve transmission quality if you connect the device to the charger, as the charger works as an antenna for it. In fact, frequencies that are otherwise full of interference, start to work beautifully. Of course, having the cable crossing your windshield is not a good idea, so you might need to place the T505 somewhere else when connected.
In the end, it is a good product that could be improved even more, specially if it had more transmitting power (or larger antenna) and a better frequency setup. I use it a lot today, but in my next car, I will try to get a bluetooth enabled radio instead, in order to avoid the FM transmitter problems.
5 Stars So Far So Good
This device is easy to use. It tells you what channel to tune to. I bought to listen to my music because antenna in work truck stinks. It work like a charm. the option not to have it go through the radio was a plus also.
5 Stars Works great!
I purchased this item to allow for hands-free in my automobile. I own an original iPhone and after reading the reviews, knew I needed to purchase an A2DP adapter to be able to stream my music through the FM stations.
When I received the Motorola T505, the iPhone streamed seamlessly with the bluetooth on the Motorola. The speaker quality was very good. I do agree with other users that the buttons are in odd places, but you do get used to it.
When I received my adapter, I then used it to stream music using the FM transmitter. I live in a city but the Motorola does a great job suggesting FM stations. It plays music nicely through my stereo (minute noticeable difference compared to my aux. cable) and also works with my 3rd generation iPod Nano.
Two drawbacks to this are that the Motorola doesn’t completely pause my music when I am on a call. It turns it down, but not enough to be able to hear clearly the person on the other end. So, I have to fiddle with the phone to make sure the music is stopped before I answer the call. It does automatically restart when I hang up, however.
Second, for some odd reason the Motorola only announces the caller id if the number is NOT in my contacts book. If the person is in my contacts book (which it usually is) no caller id comes through. I think this is more an iPhone issue than one of the Motorola.
Regardless, I decided to keep the product moreso because I really wanted something hands free in the car and the Motorola does that and then some!

5 Stars Great for work!
If you are looking at this to get for your desk at work, get it. For the price, you can’t beat it. I have a Zune 120gig that I didn’t want to use headphones with all the time (I like to hear what is going on around me too) so I bought these. They don’t “dock” to your player, it has a headphone plug you can use. Also, mine came with a USB > Power adapter cord, so i set it next to my work computer and that USB port powers the speakers! The packaging they come in is a plain white box, but for the price, I would rather it be cheaper and not have fancy packaging. Plays nice and quiet or loud. I recommend it for work!
4 Stars Great value, customer service
The first speakers we received were defective. A spring was missing from the battery compartment. I emailed the company, and within 24 hours they responded and immediately sent me another. I was very pleased with the customer service! The new speakers came, and they’re very good. They’re not like an expensive speaker system, but for the price and convenience of such a small unit, they’re an excellent value. My teenager is very happy with them.
4 Stars A nice little alarm clock!
The sound quality is well above what I expected for such a small device. It actually sounds quite good!
I’ve started using it (coupled with a USB wall charger) as my alarm clock. Much nicer to wake up to a song than to BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.
Overall, excellent for it’s price. Portable. Kind of wonky when it comes to the ipod touch because it just won’t fit (the audio out is on the bottom, not the top) but you can invert it without much ado. Alternatively, just lay it down next to it.
I like it. Four stars (not five because, well, I very rarely give 5 stars for anything)
5 Stars These are GREAT!!!!!
We looked at tons of ipod speakers,from these to the $300 dollar ones. For the low price of these plus shipping these little babies are FANTASTIC!!! Order placed received 3 days later! Amazingly fast! If you want $49 ipod speakers or $300 ones, i’m sure you would receive what you pay for. If you just need something to get the job done, for example speakers for the kids Christmas ipods, unless you really need to pump out something really loud these are perfect for one user or for a desk top! My kids love these and so do I!!!
5 Stars Great litle speakers……
As I have said in the title great little speakers, if they came in white, they would make a killing. I got mine and I bought as a joke because one of my family members bought a freaking boss Ipod speaker for $380.00 I was shock I thought she got fool by the sales rep. So now I have this speakers the cool thing is that you can used them as notebooks speakers, the audio cord attach to it is really short since it’s made only to be able to reach the Ipod next to it, so it makes hard to place next my labtop because the audio jack in my computer is in the front of the compute not in the side like it should be.
Great things aboutit
#1 It comes with a usb power cord so you can plug to your computer.
#2 It has a good bass, for the price.
#3 Extremely portable it looks like a mini boom box.
#4 Run on AAA batteries which happen to be very cheap, I have not testing how long the last but guessing by the amount of sound they put out I’m pretty sure the batteries will last that long, regardless, even if that is the case this is a good buy for sure.
I guess the only con, is that at it’s loudest setting it does not sound as great, but again this speakers are good.
I wonder what would they sound like if the casing was made of wood.

4 Stars Great case for the money
This is a great plastic case for the Ipod Nano. The clip is a nice addition when you are on the go. They sell a similar case at Best Buy for $20. This case is a great deal. The plastic on this case is even sturdier than the Best Buy case. Shipping was fast too!
4 Stars Great case especially for the price
I almost didn’t buy this case because of the skepticism about the durability of the waistband clip, but it has held up pretty good so far. You definitely can’t complain about the price. For $3, you can’t really expect an iron-clad clip with a lifetime warranty. The opening on the spin wheel is a big plus. This makes it much easier to use your iPod to its full capabilities. I use this case especially when I exercise. I usually can’t even notice it on my waist. It doesn’t sway or need to be adjusted during my workout. I was frustrated at first trying to get this case open, but then I figured out the trick to get it open. You just need to dig your thumb fingernail into the crease at the bottom and that should pop it open. Overall, I think this is a pretty good iPod Nano case especially for the price. This same case would be $15-20 at Electronics stores.
5 Stars iPod case simple and perfect!
What you see is what you get. Great basic plastic cover case for the latest iPod nano. No problems getting in the way of the headphone plugs and overall construction is nice and solid. (but i don’t expect it more to withstand anything more than a straight drop on concrete.) The intergrated clip on the back was a very nice surprise. Cases you find at most retail stores are far too overpriced for the exact same product. A great buy all the way!
4 Stars Plastic iPod 8G Nano cover
This was about a 1/4 of the price than buying one in a store. Also, it was shipped very quickly. The clear plastic case is great because it has a belt clip so no more shoving it in my pocket. It’s keeping it clean and unscratched and seems to be very durable. I bought two thinking if one breaks then I will have another, but I’ve dropped it several times and it’s still holding strong.
5 Stars 
I wanted a case very badly for my purple ipod before my screen was scratched so went on here to find a resonable case… when i found this i was thrilled and ordered it emediatly… at first it was a little confusing on how to get it on cuz it came with no instructions, but other then that, i would very much recomend this product!!
P.S
its alot cheaper here then it is at walmart and apple;)

4 Stars Works great
Works great. Does work with the new 120GB. The only problem i have found is that it doesn’t come with a remote but you can order one for $20 if needed.
1 Star Did not work
I received this today, was all excited after reading reviews and wanted something for my Zune…The sound did not work , the clock lit up and everything looked fine but could not get any sound, read all instructions and trouble shooting things but it just did not work, am returning it tomorrow.iHome Dual Alarm Clock with Speaker Dock for Zune (Black)
5 Stars Zune Houston
Great sound. Nice dual alarm setings. Can pick up AM stations that my other radios have a hard time with. I bought a second one for my sister.
On the neg side the remote is not included. I am ordering one after I write this review.
5 Stars Best Zune accessory yet
After getting the Zune for Christmas I was slightly disappointed at the limited amount of accessories available for it.
Then I found this clock radio. It is awesome! The sound quality is excellent for something so small, and the 2 alarms could not have been handier. I set one to wake up 5 days of the week and the other to wake me on the weekends!
The features kept rolling in on this clock radio! There is the daily light savings time switch on the back, it made rolling my clock forward as easy as a flick of the wrist!
It has options to play from your Zune, radio, or buzzer to wake you in the morning, and if you have it set to Zune and you forget to plug in your Zune the night before it will default to the buzzer.
Bottom line: If you are Zune, and want a feature rich product that will rival iPod’s speakers and clocks, this is definitely the clock radio for you!
3 Stars Happy, but…..
We purchased about 1 month ago, and are pretty satisfied except for one thing… the display. When we first plugged the unit in only 1/2 of the characters lit up so the display was unreadable. Over time the display seemed to fix itself, but now the problem is back and worse than before. I have sent an email to iHome but have not heard back yet. Other than this we are happy with the sound, but highly recommend ordering the remote for the extra $20
