Just what I was hoping for.......2007-08-24

I'm impressed with this little thing. The case is well-made and has a very solid feel. The Nano fits perfectly into the skin and into the MiniBlaster. I didn't have difficulties with the fit like others mentioned. Getting the Nano out takes some pushing, but that's the way it should be. You don't want it falling out on it's own and hitting the pavement. All the Nano controls are accessible. The front, circular control (volume/scroll) works fine through a silicon skin and is very protected.

The reason we buy this thing is for sound and size. Size and weight are impressively minimal. You won't beat that anywhere. As for sound, it's not a home entertainment center or a Bose IPod system - it's a tiny little device that offers maximum portability. If you can bring your Bose system along with you, then do it. If you need something small and more portable, then read on.

The sound has a distinct clarity. Mids to highs are crisp and well separated. What you loose is bass. It's attenuated, but not dull or muddy. I wasn't expecting strong bass with a frequency response of 450Hz to 20KHz. It's not built for it and shouldn't be expected.

It's made, as others have said, for you and a couple of friends in an environment without too much ambient noise. If you are looking for a system that you can play at a beech party with a big group of friends, keep looking, because this isn't it. Too many voices chatting away will drown this little thing out.

In a reasonably quiet room or out on the trail, you get enough volume to really enjoy the music. It's loud enough to hear the detail in the sound. It even gets too loud for conversations and has to be turned down. Don't get me wrong, the neighbors won't be calling or stomping on the floor. It has what it needs to fill the niche that it's designed for.

I personally like the sound with the EQ set to "Small Speakers" - seems like a good balance for Classic Rock which I tend to listen to the most.

If you want a small, light and very portable speaker system to free you from headphones and make portable music a social experience between friends again, then you are onto something.

Enjoy!

Great for use while traveling.......2007-08-11

I wanted to be able to listen to podcasts and my own music while commuting and so first purchased (for $80) an FM converter that plugged into the lighter and my iPod and then matched an unused frequency to play what was on the iPod. The sound wasn't great and it changed depending on where I was driving. I spent a lot of time trying to find the right static frequency and match it with the device. In the short time that I tried it out I had to switch frequencies twice.

So, I looked for a speaker. I decided that it wouldn't be a disaster to buy something at this price to try even if it didn't work great. It was what I was looking for! I can use it in the car and also other places where I want to play what is on my ipod so that others can hear. It is not great sound quality, but it is much better than what I was getting with the FM converter and much easier. I can either use batteries or the AC adaptor (I already have a device that converts the cigarette lighter into AC power).

It is a great solution for what I was looking for.

Good Product.......2007-07-26

I recommend this product over similar products that are outrageously expensive. Powerful sound for it's size and easy to use. Great value.

Wow, under 15 bucks including shipping!.......2007-07-04

Don't expect too much bass out of -any- tiny speakers but as a way to turn your nano into a sort of 21st century "transistor radio" equivalent with stereo audio and a better sound quality, this little thing is superb. Talk radio podcasts are delivered very clearly and music can be enjoyed to an extent especially if you choose an appropriate EQ setting on your nano. Volume capability is decent, just don't expect to entertain an audience bigger than about two or three. Battery life is good for the 4x AAA batteries.

JLab Audio.......2007-06-08

The sound is good from the Miniblaster, but getting my Ipod in and out of it is a real chore!! It is very difficult to do. It not only is very hard to place in the miniblaster, but getting it out is even worse. I like the size of it as it doesn't take up a lot of room when I place it on the counter. Just difficult to use. It is also hard to adjust the volume with the "skin" on it.

Best bang for the buck...i read all the reviews. just buy it. you can't beat $15 shipped. it gets the job done.

Excellent Company.......2007-06-11

My 11 year old daughter saved her $$ and did some on line research and ended up buying these. She loved them for the size which allowed her to take them into bed, on the bus etc. The audio in my opinion was "OK", but she was very happy.

We had bought them along with their noise reducing ear buds which I use while traveling in planes. I can wear them x- country very comfortably

Unfortunately we had technical problems and contacted JBL. I happened to email them on a Sunday afternoon and in about 15 minutes a real person (Josh) responded. A real person.... on a Sunday!!

He resolved the issue- which ultimately required a warranty replacement.

I cannot say enough good things about this company and Josh. I woudl buy their products again without hesitation

What a disappointment........2007-05-26

On my first foray into looking for the perfect mini speaker for my Ipod, I bought the Aiptek Mist for Nano (not realizing it only works with Gen 2 Nano)---boy, was it a cute little thing. Disappointed they don't make that product for Gen 1 Nanos, I searched Amazon for the perfect replacement mini speaker that would work with my Nano Gen 1. The JLab Miniblaster had 4 stars. Folks, speak up, because I cannot be the only one who was shocked by the low quality of this product!!

*When I first plugged it in, you couldn't hear anything because of interference from my TV remote!

*When I finally heard sound it was fuzzy at best and never got much better

*The volume level is only a smidgen better than what I can hear through my earbuds when they are out of my ears!

I read and re-read the direction and am convinced I did everything properly. I even tried it with battery power only, in the house, out of the house. No luck. This is a lousy product and I am giving it one star. This is being shipped back today.

XtremeMac SportWrap iPod Mini Armband.......2007-08-10

The hole for the plug in cord is too small for my earbuds, so it is difficult to get a complete, snug connection. Otherwise, the armband works good and is comfortable.

Great Transaction.......2005-08-31

The product was mailed in a timely fashion and when received, it was the same product that was advertised on Amazon.

I Like It!.......2005-08-21

This is a great holder for my ipod mini. It was easy to figure out and attach to my arm. My only very small complaint was that it made my arm a little itchy after a while.

Didn't keep moisture out; gets in the way on some weight machines.......2005-07-29

I workout regularly and vigorously and thought an armband holder for my mini would be better than the included belt clip. I was wrong. The neoprine is supposed to keep the moisture out but after three uses my mini was slightly damp. Also on some machines (e.g, ab crunch) the armband got in my way. I went back to the belt clip and am much happier. These things are pesonal though so this product may work for others. I also want to note that Amazon is letting me return the item, no shipping cost and no questions asked. That's good customer service.

Product Description

Canon's ELPH2 continues the Canon tradition of pushing the technology envelope another step further. This ingenious camera actually does a lot of the thinking for you! As the smallest zoom lens-equipped, Advanced Photo System camera, Canon's ELPH2 gives you a choice of three unique print formats: panorama, wide-angle, and classical traditional sizes. Its precision 23-46mm 2x power zoom lens allows you to get as creative as you want to be in composing your shots. You know you want your photos to be as color-accurate and realistic as possible, and Canon's exclusive Hybrid Autofocus keeps all of your photos remarkably sharp. Canon's state-of-the-art Print Quality Improvement (PQI) allows the ELPH2 to ingeniously communicate with your film, recording shooting data such as lighting, exposure and flash for the most accurate photo reproduction available on the market today. In other words, your photos will turn out exactly the way you intended them to! The ELPH2 is a paradox in camera technology, with big ideas all coming in a very small package!

Amazon.com Product Description

The Canon Elph 2 is one of the world's smallest Advanced Photo System cameras equipped with a 2x zoom lens. Even though it is constructed of durable stainless steel, it still weighs a mere 6 ounces and is about the size of a deck of cards. It is a fully automatic point-and-shoot that you can take anywhere.

The Canon Elph 2 has an all-glass aspherical lens with hybrid autofocus, automatic exposure control, a built-in flash with red-eye reduction, and intuitive film speed setting. It also offers a 10-second self-timer that is compatible with an optional RC-5 remote. Along with these foolproof features, you get the ease of use of the APS format, which includes drop-in film loading, midroll change, and an array of other user-friendly features. You can choose among three print formats--classic, group, or panoramic--as well as a number of date imprint options.

The Canon Elph 2 operates on a lithium CR-2 battery. This kit includes a battery, a carrying case, a strap, and a roll of film so you can start snapping pictures right away. The kit also includes a one-year manufacturer's warranty on parts and labor.

great panoramics.......2007-06-23

this would be the prime reason why i bought it. Everything else is mediocre. And it costs so much to develop. Not very good as every day camera(better go digital). However the panoramics are superb. I would take this camera on a trip in a conjunction with a digital camera.

Great camera, poor pic quality w/ Kodak film.......2004-10-04

I've switched over to a Canon digi-cam, but I used the Elph 2 for a couple of years. During those years, pictures taken on on the Elph 2, just never turned out right. They were either grainy, suffered from color saturation, red-eye, you name it. That is until I discovered the magic of Fuji film. I had up until that time used Kodak Avantix APS film exclusively, believing that paying more meant better quality. Wrong! Fuji film is not only much cheaper, but my prints were awesome in every way possible. In fact, my last set of photos were taken on the streets of Las Vegas during the late-night hours, plus lots of indoor pictures in a dimly lit room with the shades drawn...but every picture turned out, if you will, picture perfect. I can't bash Kodak, because it's the only film I've ever used, and bottom line, it's the best. But when it comes to the Canon Elph 2, you should switch to Fuji film. I guarantee, you'll see the difference.

Best Point and Shoot on Market.......2003-10-07

I bought this camera 3 1/2 years ago to take with me when I moved to Germany. It's small enough to fit in your jeans pocket, but makes cleaner and better quality prints than I've seen in a point and shoot camera. It was very durable and lasted several years of use overseas, and I'm still enjoying its compact size and light weight here in the states. If you are in any way intimidated by the digital camera age, and would like a small, versatile APS camera, this is it!

This is a GREAT Little Camera!.......2003-10-01

I have owned this camera for about 3 years, and am still surprised in the quality of photographs I get from it! We recently returned from Maui, where a photo can make or break a beautiful memory. Most, if not all, of our photos from this trip are frameable, they are SO beautifully crisp and clear! It does a great job in any of the three modes it offers. The film loads and unloads easier than any camera I've ever operated, and the flash is automatic, so you don't even have to think about it.

The only complaint I've ever had is that it doesn't zoom very far, but that is a small sacrifice for such great photos from this little wonder!

A truly well engineered product.......2003-09-30

I own the original Elph and also the digital Elph S200 (now discontinued). I love them both. The $500 Pentax with the bazooka lens sits on the shelf, unused and collecting dust. The Elph line is everything you want and need, unless you aspire to be an artiste.
