Top Toy: Portable iPhone Speaker Case Brings the Noise

From football shaped cradles to futuristic boomboxes, there’s no shortage of speaker docks waiting to sync with your iPod or iPhone. But the iMainGo X, an all-in-one portable protective case and speaker system that sports booming sound, two headphone jacks and options to daisy chain multiple devices for room-shaking audio, makes a compelling argument. Capable of functioning as an external speaker (via 3.5mm jack) for your phone, laptop or electric guitar, and offering 12 hours of acoustic playback, it also works with most digital music players. While not the fanciest or most high-end solution, a surprisingly versatile range of features for listening in private or out loud mean audiophiles could do worse than to perk up their ears at its mention.
