Comments about Goal Zero Rock Out Portable Speaker:
I've had this for a few weeks, now, and it's great. The sound is a lot better than you'd expect for such a small package, especially considering the price!
An iPhone or other smartphone slips right into the pocket inside, which can zip closed to protect the phone while you carry it in/on your pack, put it on the ground next to your picnic/beach towel, etc, or hang it in your tent. It'll play music while it's got a phone or music player zipped inside, but you obviously can't reach the volume or music controls while it's closed. There's no volume control on the speakers - they just go off whatever the output volume of the music player is set to.
My only complaint is that it's a little big and heavy for backpacking use, but unless you're an ounce-counter, it really shouldn't matter too much to you. I'd recommend it; it's the best product in its category that I've seen so far.

I use it for long hikes either in my chest pack or the top compartment of my camera backpack. 9 hours of hiking and it keeps playing.

This thing produces amazing sound for such a small package and at its price! It makes watching movies on my MacBook much more enjoyable. And I have music available anywhere I am without headphones via my iPod Nano. It also seems to go for long periods of time between charges. Sometimes it will be a couple weeks of casual use before I have to recharge it!
Its storage pocket is the perfect home for my Apple remote.
If I had one small complaint it would be about the positioning of the zipper. If it were flipped to go the other direction the headphone cable would be the perfect length to plug into a computer as it could be fed out of the case easier. As is it is slightly too short for good positioning with the zipper mostly closed. Minor issue I solved with a short extension cable.

Comments about Goal Zero Rock Out Portable Speaker:
Was excited to get this speaker as a gift. Thought it would be a great addition to campfire dinners and drinks when backpacking. Tested the speaker first at home--thought the sound quality was really nice for such a small package. However, found ourselves straining to hear at the maximum volume when around the campfire.
The speaker's sound quality comes at the expense of weight. It is just fine for a tailgate or at the beach--but I'd prefer something lighter and less bulky for my backpack. Note that I try to value everything on a backpacking trip for its "weight to value"--so this is truly a nit-pick.
Overall a great product by a great company (just purchased the Nomad 7 kit).

We use this speaker system on the patio and pack it when we travel to the beach. The sound is surprisingly good for such an inexpensive product. I think they kept it simple, which makes for a great product.
