Bose SoundLink Mini Soft Cover, (Energy Green)

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.

It is what the product states it should be: a cover for the Bose SoundLink Mini. It will protect the product from small bumps and dings. I'm not going to expect it to fully protect the hefty Mini from a fall though. There are a lot of reviews stating that it is hard to apply this on the Mini due to the tight fit but I did not have any problems applying mine. The cover will only go on the Mini one way. Don't push your Soundlink Mini through colored edge protector (in this case, blue). You have to insert the Mini through the bigger bottom opening inserting the right side first (where the Aux and power openings are) then utilizing the slit on the left side of the cover, pry it open and over the edges. It took less than a minute to put it on.

Bought it for my  Bose SoundLink Mini Speaker . Overall, it is a fantastic product. I love it - durable plastics, good engineering design, and excellent fit except the price. I would give 5-star if it costs under $20.PROS1) Not affect the sound quality. I could not hear any difference with or without the cover.2) Good engineering design. My favorite part is the Edge Protection. This feature not only offers better protection than  Bose Leather Cover  but also makes it much easier to HOLD the speaker - remember  Bose Mini  weights 1.5 lb, and the extruding edges are helpful.3) Durable plastic. It is Not made from cheap thin-film plastic. Its thickness is ~2mm and tough & stiff. It should provide good impact and scratch protection.4) Fit the speaker very tightly. Got to follow the installation instruction from the manual.CONS1) $24.95 is a little pricey, more than 10% cost of  Bose Mini . Under $20 maybe more reasonable.2) Limited color options.

I received this cover today. I ordered the blue one. What some may or may not be aware is that the "blue" part of this cover is the trim. The body of the speaker cover is clear and the trim around the edge is "neon blue." Does that make a difference to me? No, not in the least. I am very pleased with the quality and it'll serve its purpose well!PROS: Form fitting, nice color, appropriate thickness for a coverCONS: None to note at this time.

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.

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.

My Bose mini looks great and sharp with this protective cover. I am VERY protective of my stuff, I like to have look like new, and I already make a micro scratch to my Bose speaker. The cover is highly recommended. READ the instructions on how to put it together. As engineer I assumed I could figure it out, but is clever the way is to be placed and fit right on. If you like you Bose Mini, and like to keep your stuff in mint conditions, this is a MUST have.

Good while it lasted!

Un protector increíble para la bocina. Vale totalmente la pena proteger una bocina tan bonita y tan cara con una funda de calidad. Protege bien las orillas contra raspones o caídas leves. Además puedes seguir usando la base de carga con la funda. Recomiendo ampliamente este producto.

Must have for Bose soundlink mini, help against scratches and also look nice.

Hay muchos productos parecidos en Amazon y hasta imitaciones, pero nada se puede comparar con la calidad de un producto hecho por Bose, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

For an item that costs 16k+, it is worth investing in this

Excellent product - fits very well and will no doubt protect well the Bose unit.
