SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker Soft Cover – Blue

I was very hesitant to purchase this cover after reading so many negative reviews, even if they were only negative because of the price. But I am very glad I went with my gut and overlooked the naysayers. I hope my review can put this cover into perspective for those of you thinking about how to protect your Soundlink Mini.First off, I absolutely love my Bose Soundlink Mini. It was a birthday gift that I immediately knew I wanted to protect. I had a million plans for where I would take my speaker, and how cool it would be to have music with me everywhere. I couldn't risk the possibility of marring my Soundlink Mini's beauty.I am very much a control freak (is that the right description?), constantly obsessing over keeping my nice things nice. I knew I had to find the most practical way to do this. I considered using a plastic bag to scratch proof the speaker, but a lifetime of a bulky bag seemed overkill (and annoying). I also debated not doing anything. Toys are meant to be played with, right? But visions of ugly little scratches on the beautiful aluminum body didn't sit well with me, either. Finally, I stumbled upon the soft cover on Amazon and I thought all my problems were solved. It was perfect, right? A handy-dandy little slip cover to hug my little Mini's body and give it that little oomph of protection I was looking for. But then why did so many people complain of it's overly-priced, cheap plasticness? "Twenty-five dollars?" they said. "Too overpriced." I was stuck. Would the Baggie be a better option? Finally, I caved. I realized that I spent that kind of money (at least $25) getting a case for my new iphone, and that case was essentially just plastic. I knew I wouldn't leave my phone unprotected because I'm not stupid. Accidents definitely happen (just ask my poor blackberry pearl). If I am going to have expensive things, it only makes sense to take precautionary measures against those random "oops" moments. I realized that protecting this $200 speaker is worth the $25 I'd spend on the case. After a month of having the case on my Mini, I am beyond satisfied with my decision.Yes, it isn't a hard case (just really nice, thick plastic), and I'm sure it wouldn't protect the speaker if I dropped it off a roof, but the plastic is durable and fits the speaker like a glove. It looks like it's part of the speaker and it doesn't hinder the buttons or the charging process; it fits on the dock just as well. And to top it off, the color is great.But the best part is, now I can pack my Mini without the worries of unwanted scratches. For me, $25 was a small price to pay for my peace of mind.

We bought three. Two for our own Bose Mini's and one as a gift. We love them, as does our son-in-law. He travels a lot and uses his to listen to audiobooks while he drives. He has the travel case for his Mini and it fits in the travel case fine with the cover on.Be warned...putting them on your Bose is as difficult as a woman trying to put on a pair of skinny jeans that are two sizes too small...and then getting them zipped up. But it is well worth the work. The cover provides protection and covered up the dent in one corner of one of mine where it got knocked off a counter onto the tile floor. Had I had this cover, there would have been no dent. Can't recommend this cover highly enough...a wonderful product.

The case is made of a rubbery material that's slightly hardened on the outside. It is a bit of a tight fit and will take some patience to put on, but once it's on, it fits well, looks good, and does its job. The corners and edges of the speaker will be insulated from slight shocks and bumps, although the delicate front and back grills of the speakers are still vulnerable.

The design of this product is flawless. I have seen reviews where people are complaining that it's hard to get on and that you can't charge the device with this cover on. False! While you do have to work with it, I had no problems getting it on my Bose SoundLink Mini. Charges just fine on the docking station. It even fits in the case I purchased separately! Would recommend this to anyone who wishes to give their SoundLink Mini a long life!

Very nice product. Was concerned after reading some of the reviews which stated with the soft cover on the speaker would not fit on the charging base. My speaker still fit nicely on the base even with the cover on. It did take a bit of time for me to put the cover on as it is a very secure fit but once on it looks great and will do a nice job protecting the unit. Would recommend.

Knowing how easy it is to scratch and damage Bose product surfaces, I bought this sleeve to protect our new SoundLink speaker unit. I wish the grey had been available when we bought it, but it wasn't, so I settled for the slightly muted neon blue. First impression is how tacky this cover appears up close - it is a slightly sticky-feeling silicon rubber type material, and the neon-bright edging adds to the low cost appearance. Of course, being a Bose product, it is anything but low cost! Having said that, it does the job perfectly. It is a slight struggle to get it on, but patience and care will get results. All of the ports are available with it in place (audio and power) and it works great. Protects the speaker very nicely. Now I have to decide whether I hate the color enough to spring for a grey one..... :)

I bought this for added "protection" for my Bose Mini Soundlink Speaker. It arrived on time when it said it would. This isn't very much protection...if you drop it, it will not help prevent damage. This will prevent pretty much scratches. It does give my speaker a little character since I bought it in mint. The package did arrive squished however. I had to have my boyfriend put the speaker in this because I got so frustrated trying to put it on. It WILL work with the charging dock.

I just purchased and fell in love with the Soundlink Mini II. I travel a lot and didn't want a big bulky case and this fits snug as a bug covering the portions that could scratch and break upon impact while leaving open all spots necessary for charging and toggling buttons. It's also attractive in that it is unobtrusive with black trim. Lastly, it takes of very little additional space than the Soundlink II itself. A full case would presumably give it more protection, but take up much more space. This is a nice solution that can stay on at all times.
