Are you able to hear the speaker even though its diverted to the back of the case?

Yes, you can hear very well. The only drawback is the charger plug is hard to get to.

My son is 7 years old and has no problem getting to the charger. He loves this case. It's lightweight but very sturdy. Also, the handle is great for transporting. He's had it since Christmas and so far, no complaints. Good product!

There is a small hole in the rubber casing right behind the speaker, then there is a slot in the hard plastic casing that that directs the sound out through the bottom of the case, You can't see it in the back because it is inside the credit card department. I can here the sound fine, and I really like this case, it is kinda fat but I dont carry a wallet now so I like that.

Yes, but be sure you install it high enough so that it does not block the teensy speaker at the bottom left front of the case, or people will tell you that you sound like you are talking underwater.

Yes, through the use of the auxiliary cable that is included with the speaker!

Josh, The speaker is under the front and on the left side. It must be quite small as it exhibits a lot of treble but little mid range and no base. The volume (on this one copy of the netbook) couldn't be turned up high enough to distort. In a quiet room you can hear it but I believe earphones or external speakers would be called for in most circumstances.

Yes. In omnidirectional sound. The speaker chamber is exposed on all sides, except the bottom.

The speaker is on the back near the top of the handset. It is a series of tiny holes in the case.

I'm not too sure. It may dampen the sound. On my Excite, the speakers are on the bottom in landscape mode and not on the back, so speakers are not blocked. If your speakers are on the back, you may want to skip this case.

yes, there is a small port opening from the back of the speaker. I have been pleased with my pair, for what it's worth

You should be hearing sounds coming from the device you're connected to, not the sounds you put into the device. You shouldn't hear yourself talk unless it's a play back of a recording...

Yes. However, the volume of your ring tone or speakers won't be as loud due to the case coverage.
1594643
No because the receiver hole at the bottom is on the wrong side. The case covers the hole and the person on the other end cannot hear you well.

The speaker hole is there but covered by the elastic band in the picture on Amazon. When open, the sound is not blocked in any way by the case.

Didn't really try that out. I only used plug in headphones and then bluetooth headphones. The case is designed to protect your phone while you are riding, so based on that I do not think that you would be able to use the built in speaker, or the sounds would be muted. However, I just tried it out and it worked. I had to turn the volume up high, but I was able to listen to the built in speaker while in the case. Please note that I could not adjust the volume while it was in the case. But to answer your question, yes, you can listen to music with the built in speaker while the phone is inside the case.

Nope theres a 'scoop' shape in the speaker area, if anything it enhances the sound deflecting it forward.

there is an oval shaped cutout on the back of the case that allows for Excellent sound from the speaker! i have loved this case!

One way I can think of is to unscrew the case find the speaker and cut one of the two wires coming out of the speaker. Unless the speaker is soldered onto the board itself this should be fairly simple. I would do it in such way that it can be soldered back if necessary. I haven't tried this.
