I know most people have long since switched over to an all digital format for music, but it took me a while to make the transition. We have it on the glass outside of our shower. It really was a nice controller but it isnt for someone like me that will treat it badly. I can easily watch TV while riding. Ruined vacation. If it?s not continually running in the back ground it last location will be when ever you last allowed it to sync. I bought the case for traveling with my Soundlink and I think it will work very well, though I have not traveled with it yet. Ill explain; I just received this product and ordered as a result of what appeared to be reasonable price, well reviewed, and Amazon recommended. I could hear little details and pinpoint enemy locations with ease. So buyers beware and clearly check if an original product is delivered to you.
