Still great service but the ipad 2 has early/ late volume / lock switch and this one didn't work.

This little speaker is great...as long as you realize what it is and isn't.  It's a small portable speaker.  We bought it for the Ipad2 and an old Ipod.  For a reference point, the volume is about the same as the Ipad2's native speaker.  However the sound is much clearer and fuller.  The speaker actually vibrates cause of the bass (which could be an issue actually for some but not for us).  If you are looking for a speaker that will be louder than the Ipad2 then you'll be disappointed.  I always found the volume of the Ipad fine just the sound quality was lacking.

Also I had a hard time figuring out what cables came with the speaker when I was considering buying it so I thought it'd be helpful to mention.  It's comes with one "Y" cable.  One end is a mini usb that plugs into the speaker.  The other ends (hence the "Y") is a regular usb (to plug into a Ipad ac adaptor or computer to charge it) and a male 3.5 mm audio connection to content to the ipad/ipod/audio device.  You can't use the usb connection for audio..that's what it says in the instructions at least.

The reason I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 (4.5 if I could) is because the light is blindly bright.  It hurts to look at it directly, which isn't something I would do but my young daughter might.  I ended up putting a Hello Kitty bandage over the light and that really helped.  You could still see the light (that's how bright it is) but it wasn't blinding anymore.  My daughter liked it even more with the Hello Kitty bandage.  :)

Finally, the reviewer that mentioned the packaging was right...I basically had to destroy it to get it speaker out.  The nice thing is you know you're not getting an item that was returned for some reason.

I use these inflight as well as when I want to listen to music or movies using my IPad and the sound quality is excellent. The case is wonderful as well. I have yet to utilize the light that comes with the case as I have no idea why I would use it! The adjustable sound function on the cord works fine, although it sometimes gets hooked up on things and gets in the way. It does work with my IPad 2 as described.

Hi,

I can't really provide a product review, since I bought the ipad 2 on 5/11 as a graduation gift.  I did want to mention that I simply went to the Apple store in Freehold, NJ, and bought the device for $729 immediately without any problems.  Its the 32gb 3g Verizon config.  No reason to pay any premium.  Enjoy!!

Amazon services was great. I just expected the JBL charge 2 to be as load or loader as the Charge 1.

Voice statements of activity are load even if volume is set low, otherwise a great device.

I received this apple ipad 2 just have a lil trouble to to turn it on or some time it doesn't charging at all so I think it might need to replace...

I had to return there first one because of a defective volume button.  i just got the replacement. the build and material are really excellent.  the sound quality is superb.  but I am having a hard time keeping it connected to my iPad.  it is the only device paired to the phone so it should automatically connect to it when the devices are powered on but this is not the case.  i have to always get into the bluetooth settings on the iPad to reconnect it to the headphones.  other headphones do not behave this way.  I tried the on-ear bose wireless and they worked everytime.  I opted for these for the promise of better sound and definitely better build.  if i don't figure this out soon, they are going back.
otherwise, these headphones are a 5 star.
new entry 11/2/15  - on a hunch i decided what if the reason the headphones do not automatically connect is because my iPad was not the primary device? so I cleared the pried devices list form the headphones per manual instructions.  sure enough it started working.  that meant there was another primary device already set on the headphones.
this brings me to another point:
the iPad was the one and only device i paired with the headphones so why was there another primary device already set on the headphones? Amazon sent me an item already purchased and returned is the only explanation.  so now I am concerned if the headphones did not go thru some sort of checklist before it was resold to me, what else am I going to discover in the future ????
again the headphones are the best I have tried, but this does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling.  3 stars remain.

I had an older version for my iPhone 6. The little rubber doors wore out after extensive use so I wrote them to see if I could buy replacements. They requested my address to replace the doors, no charge. Sounds great accept they didn't send me new doors, they sent me a brand new case! Amazing service nowadays. I have only had this one a couple of days. Music sound is solid, telephone calls are excellent for a waterproof case. I actually had people call me from my own phone to verify myself because I hate when people cannot hear me due to a case. I do not agree this case feels cheap. It feels light. The last version had more heft and I welcome the new lighter version. Not 5 stars due to the difficulty in muting the sound. It can be a bit of a hassle. I leave my phone silent 90% of the time but if you don't, it could be an issue. I was tempted to add the star back due to the customer service, but that seemed bias.

First one died on me after about 6 months of use - it just would not connect to my mini iPad any more.  Amazon great customer service sent me a replacement.  On both of these units, I noticed that the AAA battery (2x) doesn't last too long. It does have Auto sleep function to conserve battery life which requires you to hit press any button once or twice to wake it up and then waiting about 2 seconds for it to connect and start working again with my ipad.
I would have given it 5 star if battery life was longer and reconnect speed was faster.
Also its fairly comfortable and usable.

I have an iPad4, and the first one they sent did not fit exactly.  My iPad wouldn't go into sleep mode.  I contacted them, and they quickly sent out a new one which works like a charm.

The stand function works well.  It will mostly protect your iPad, although the corners are a bit exposed.  It comes with a protective film for the iPad screen.  However, the Sleep/Wakeup functions does NOT work for the iPad 2.

Also, at first the iPad fits snugly in the case.  However, this being leather, it will stretch over time.  This means that after a while it will slide around inside the case a bit.

Just giving you a heads up.

Pros:
- Adjustable stand function
- Nice colors
- Comes with a protective screen film
- Cover folds nicely behind the iPad when open

Cons:
- Sleep/wakeup function NOT iPad 2-compatible
- iPad fit gets worse over time
- Corners unprotected

Can't use with iPad and YouTube due to the excessive delay. The sound is about 2 seconds behind the video when using this device. Not usable.
Update: iDeaUSA  contacted me after the above review and send me a different pair. A completely different model.  It works great. I have changed my review to five stars (although technically not for this product but for the replacement model).  Outstanding customer service.  I am hearing impaired so I am unable to watch TV. I can only watch on an iPad in my case.  The volume is better than any Bluetooth headphone I have ever tried.  If you are hearing-impaired I recommend you contact the company and let them recommend one for you, you cant go wrong.

well I think they should make it a bit more clear that this only works with ipad 2 and the other limited devices

While using iPad2, which was under a heavy load with an active skype conversation, through the 1.2A port, the battery wasn't getting charged. (The charge could be observed as dropping). But all was fine when I re-plugged the cable into one of the 2.4A ports.

Okay there are pros and cons and I will chime in with what others are saying.
CON: this has a very low battery life. I should have read the description more thoroughly, but it does last ~2 hours. I wanted to use them to listen to long podcasts while traveling but unfortunately I can only listen in short intervals.

PROS: It shipped about 2 weeks after I ordered it (ships from China) and arrived before ETA. That is always great. Even on the lowest volume setting of my phone, the volume is really loud (using default Apple headphones, it is about half-way to max volume!). The instructions on using the product are on the packaging so it's good not to throw it away if you are forgetful like I am.

The earbud shape is very similar to Apple earbuds, both of which are not soundproof!

the cd spin noise is very quiet.
the sound is decent(not as good as the ipad speaker, not as bad as a cell phone speaker)
i watched the hobbit and the battery was down to 25% at the end of it.

i did 4 stars instead of 5 for 2 reasons:
1. the monitor while it does show 1080p and the screen tear is very small in action scenes must have an old dpi because when you look close at the screen it is nowhere near as sharp as the newer ipad's but it still looks good.
2.  the base is bulky by today's standards its like a dvd box containing an entire tv show season it is thick!  i am sure sony can slim it down but they probably didn't sell enough of this to make it worth their time.

i'm keeping it because i don't have cable tv and i want to play blurays of walking dead while i play candy crush on my ipad(since the ipad cant multitask)
