Does the cover make it hard to hear music playing if you are using the speakers and not headphones?

I don't think that the sound is muffled or hard to hear. Actually the Otterbox provides a small "surround" environment for my iPod 4. Thus it very slightly enhances the sound.

Not on my unit. The volume when turned up is very loud. My wife who is hard of hearing keeps it somewhere in the middle range which is loud for me so most of the time she uses ear buds which blocks out the normal speakers..

Not at all. I'm a huge fan of the case.Looks sleek. I do take it out of the case if I want the music to be louder.

Yes! For me it is very protective only the screen is uncovered. No problem using the earphone jack

No they're covered by a screen type material. Very loud so I can hear it at work around machinery. Music distorts turned all the way up. But I use headphones or bluetooth through my vehicle speakers when listening to music so I don't need that part turned up all the way anyway.

Not at all unless of course you're playing it extremely loudly. It all depends on the volume, but at the levels that are 'healthy' for your ear, it's inaudible to others. When I remove my earpieces, about 5cm away from ears and I can't hear them anymore.

No it does not avoid blocking the speakers but if it is to low you may not hear it as well.

There is a cutout in the back of the cover for the speaker, so the sound comes through fine. Also, the power switch, volume buttons and headphone jack are completely accessible when the Nook is in the case. I originally thought the power button was covered up, but it turned out I had the case rotated to an upside down position (you can rotate it a full 360 degrees) when I put my Nook in it.

Due to the case being completely sealed to prevent damage the speakers are covered and seem to slightly muffle the sound. It does redirect the sound from the bottom of the phone to the back, but still sounds fine. The iPhone speakers aren't very loud to began with so the case doesn't change to sound very much and is well worth it for the protection you get. If it bothers you to much an easy solution is an external speaker to listen to music.

You would have to remove the cover in order for it to work with headphones.

This is true. I've learned that if I open the cover over the charging site when I use it the sound is fine. Or you can use the speaker which works fine. Hope this helps.

There are slots on the side so that it does not cover the speakers. The sound is not muffled. I purchased it for my Galaxy Tablet 3.

I saw your question and checked on my LG3. The cover has a wide opening and doesn't interfere with the headphone jack at all. I hope that helps.

No, I do not have a problem people hearing me when I have the case on. The case does not cover the speakers at the bottom at all.

The volume on mine has been fine! I would think anything would be hard to hear if you have the window down!

If you're asking with my headphones on, yes. It still sounds great and works without any problems with the hands free phones. If you're asking without headphones, I haven't tried. The face and back are covered, so I assume it would sound muffled.
