Willijs3 said Fri, Jul 3rd 2015 at 12:19am ET:

Todays write up was interesting to say the least. But it leaves me with some questions; like, through what other routes did you sell speaker docks? How much did all that weigh? Did you purchase all of them at the same time so the warehouse people had to work around pallets and pallets of speaker docks? What is wrong with JBL that they made so many crappy speaker docks?

- @Willijs3 I'll answer the last part of the last question - we own both the Micro and Mini and they're definitely not crappy. Nice clean sound and very solidly built.

- @Ecriscit no, you can't even use it with the thin apple leather case on it... basically any case that doesn't have an inch exposed around the port isn't going to work...
  Do what I do, just plug your apple cable into the usb port on the back and use it that way. Use the top part of the dock to store knickknacks like Irk plushies.
