The ecoxpro Rugged All-Terrain Speaker Case from Grace Digital works with even the largest smartphones and MP3 players. The case meets the IPX7 waterproofing standards, and its rugged, high-impact shock-resistant design withstands drops, falls and spills. There’s a large pocket inside that can hold your phone or MP3 player with room for a couple of cards, cash, or even a key. The ecoxpro has a built-in 3″ speaker and external universal waterproof earbud jack. You can use the case open or closed and standing on its end or side. The ecoxpro is available in orange or black for $79.99 from Grace Digital (use the ecoxpro link above) or from Amazon.

No reviews at Amazon yet, but I looked at their other similar cases and they have very good reviews, but with the exception in only a few one star reviews of the hinges breaking, low sound, and claims of it not being waterproof. Amazingly the company replied to these one star comments suggesting this and that, sending it back if defective or calling them. Seems like they stand by their product 🙂
I’ll keep this case in mind for my hiking purchases!
Bob, if it doesn’t have to be waterproof, go to Amazon and search for iMainGo X and iMainGo 2. The X has rechargeable batteries, and the 2 uses AAA batteries. I reviewed the X a couple of years ago and thought it had great sound, and Mark Adkins reviewed the 2; you can find both reviews here. Both are cheaper than this Grace Digital.
When I do hiking, if it’s not just another fantasy of mine, It would need to be waterproof and rugged; I really don’t need a speaker. I’ll have to keep a lookout for a nice case, but the ecoxpro looks pretty good right now.
Oh by the way, I finally went to the post office last Friday and picked up the JamUp Plug! Thank you guys 🙂
You’re welcome, Bob. Hope it works for you!
