Leave the ?socks? on and lid open and the case and earphones recharge when plugged in I like you could put it in your closet and also the hallway you can have two shelves instead of one. the only positive aspects I see is that the screen does looks very neat and the size is perfect, the box didn?t came with the charger. My granddaughter loves this jacket, it?s her favorite jacket to wear,. I got the brown ones and they look just like the picture. I?ll be saving up for the more expensive, larger model of this, which I already know to be of better quality. I tried other ones for snowboarding helmets and the speaker pods were too large and connecting wire too short. May be better options if youConnect them directly to a phone or portable player. Ive put a 50lbs bike on it trepidatiously and it help it up there like a champ(getting it up and down were another issue unrelated to the stand). This will help with durability in addition to how well it sticks to the floor.
