I imagined this item would be much smaller that it actually is. Works fine, but I have trouble picking up an AM signal. Also, there is no way to control the ipod once it is locked inside.

While the compartment for the player keep water out, there is nothing sealing the battery compartment. I need to clean rust off the terminals more often then I need to change the batteries.
Also the cable for connecting the player is short and permanently attached.
Not bad for what you pay, but they should put a gasket on the battery door and charge a few bucks more.

This item is super. You can carry it with you or use it in the bathroom. The reception is great and adapts to most all MP3 players. Very much worth the money!

For the first few weeks I was extremely impressed with the product but after a month or two the volume knob stopped working and now I can't get any sound out of the unit. As another reviewer noted the radio tuning got more difficult as time went on, in the end it required constant adjustments to stay on a station.

I bought this shower radio at Restoration Hardware on clearance for $15. Their products are hyped as sturdy and long lasting. I don't think this one would fit that description, but I took it back so fast, I'll never know. The biggest problem is the "stereo" speakers. They're so tiny and cheap that you won't be able to hear them over the sound of a shower. If you crank the volume up, they will reverberate and blare a muddy static that will make the music/radio unrecognizable. That's why I'm taking this thing back. However, the radio did not work for me either. I got one station, briefly, but otherwise, silence. Also, the on/off switch does not stop on the middle radio position. It just slides back and forth. You never know if you've selected radio or not. Really disappointed in this because the concept seemed so good.
