So the first one sent to me didn’t work so well. But, Emily called and wanted to make things right. Sent out another Dock station right away and this one works perfect.

5 Stars awesome!
The product was delivered in a timely fashion. Im beyond pleased with the product. The quality of sound is awesome! Im loving it!

5 Stars IPOD Dock Station
Product has big stereo sound for such a small unit. Very portable and convenient. Perfect for my son to listen to his Ipod at work. Didn’t really come with instructions for the remote or the device, but my son is very good at figuring out mechanical things for himself. Good communication with the company and they are very accommodating. Shipping was quick, and around Christmas time that isn’t always the case. I would recommend this product.

…and the subwoofer, battery compartment, input, and outputs in back. Click to enlarge.

iPod Dock
The Ladybug includes an iPod universal dock, which is compatible with any iPod with a dock connector. It also charges your iPod while it’s connected.

Ladybug Sound
Thanks to digital amplifier technology and a built-in subwoofer, this Ladybug has a bark and a bite, giving you full sound in a small package.

Ladybug Motion
Because the Ladybug can run on both AC (US only) or battery power (4 AA batteries not included), you can take it wherever you go. Rock out at the beach, at a picnic, wherever you want to take your tunes. Just throw your Ladybug in the included Tote bag and be on your way.

If you’re forgetful, no worries–the battery-saving automatic shut-off will help you keep from draining those batteries. When you’re at home, stay on the couch, and use the included remote for controlling your Ladybug.

Ladybug Versatility
If you have a bunch of different devices in addition to your iPod, use the auxiliary-in jack to connect them–non-docking iPods, CD players, MP3 players, and more. You also can send video to your TV from video-enabled iPods using the AV output for sharing your favorite clips or photos. Finally, use the USB connector for synchronizing a docked iPod with your computer.

What’s in the Box
Vestalife Ladybug Portable Speaker Dock for iPod (Red/Black), AC adapter, remote control, five iPod dock adapters, audio patch cord, Tote bag, user guide, warranty card.

4 Stars love it!!
i am 30+ and i love this little bug! the only draw back i see (or hear) is in higher volume heavy bass songs. it has 5 lit up volume indicators each has a range of 5 sound increases before the next. it is perfect for a small room but not for a large one. it does get surprisingly loud and remains quite clear unless im listenin to biggie or uncle al or nas but my simon an garfunkel beatles and al green del phonics are all beautiful out of this small machine I listen to a lot of different kinds of music and i recommend you put your ipods’ EQ to the OFF position for normal use and with some old school rap or new school hip hop or even buju banton put the EQ on bass reducer and you will get alot of enjoyment outta this little bug for years to come…

4 Stars great look, not too great of a system
people say that the volume is amazing, its not that good, when my friends come over it doesn’t blast enough (im not just saying that because im 17) also it does not work with my ipod that good, i have the nano 4th generation. they said that it should work with it, i don’t know if my ipod is flipping on me because of the speaker or not, the remote is also extremely annoying, you have to hold it a certain way to change the song or whatever, I’m mainly sticking with it because its too cute!

5 Stars Excellent sound from one-of-a-kind device
I had no idea if this device would work with my 3G iPhone, but given the price, and cool design, I decided to give it a try. Upon opening the box, I found a card from Vestalife that says the Ladybug “uses the latest circuitry to make it compatible with your iPhone.” The card also says that Vestalife recommends that one place the iPhone in Airplane Mode to prevent audio interference.

When I docked my iPhone, I got a pop-up message on the phone that informed me that the device (the Ladybug) is not compatible with the phone; the message allowed me to place the phone in Airplane Mode.

The sound the ladybug puts out is terrific! I couldn’t want for a better sound from such a device. It’s cute, it’s cool, it’s small, and it’s portable. Other than the non-compatibility with my iPhone (which I really don’t care about) I have no hang-ups about this device. I highly recommend it.

I bought the Ladybug at Costco for $86.99. I got the blue Element Skateboards special edition model; this model sells on Vestalife’s web site for $125.

5 Stars Great Ipod Dock
For the price, this is a great little speaker system for your Ipod. I have the Ipod touch, and use this docking station in my baby’s nursery to play him music at night, and fun music during the day. It puts out some serious sound for being so little. We will enjoy this for years! I like that we can take it with us, as it is very portable, and doesn’t take up much space on the bookshelf. It’s a cute little system, and very unique in style! We have the red and black one, and it does resemble a ladybug. Very cute!

1 Star Crushed Box
I ordered this item for my mother for Christmas and once it came to me, the box was completely smashed. I guess that the item is okay, but based on the box, I’m not really sure if it will be. It came in bubble wrap, but wow!…the box was really smashed all to pieces. I was really disappointed. I would be embarrassed to give my mother this gift in such shape, but it fits perfectly in the box that it should originally come in. Very disappointed. Have emailed the company, but never heard back.

Turbo Charge TC Portable Charger for iPod and iPhone

Turbo Charge TC Portable Charger for iPod and iPhone




Mobility and the iPod are two magnificent partners. You can move here, there, and everywhere to listen to music, view videos (where applicable), and view photos. But power is limited. Take Turbo Charge TBA650 Reusable Portable Charger for iPod and some AA alkaline batteries with you. Two AA batteries will completely charge your iPod up to 3 times. That’s definitely more mobility.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Doesn’t Work on iPhone 3G
While this seems like a good idea, it doesn’t work on my iPhone 3G. The problem, I’m assuming, is that since the iPhone isn’t usually powered off completely, the charge is not strong enough to overcome the power draw.

It’s nice unit, but stay away if you have the 3G model.

5 Stars I am Portable and can go ANYWHERE!
I recently took a trip around the world and did not want to depend on the electronic converters. I loaded up my iTouch with movies and music and purchased this charger - AA batteries can be purchased all around the world and I used this charger everywhere I went. Even on Easter Island I was able to watch Season I of LOST!

Highly recommended as it makes your music, video unit portable anywhere you go!

1 Star Save your money
I was given this as a gift. Thought it would be helpful when I traveled. The first time I inserted the batteries, it flashed and died. Never got to use it even once. I’m still searching for one that actually works. Maybe I’ll try the Kensington.

5 Stars Works great
I love this charger!! It works great. It’s small so it’s easy to carry. Only negative is the lights are too bright.

I always make sure I remove the batteries when not in use so have never had an issue with accidentally turning it on.

3 Stars good but limited
This charger worked as advertised - but in a pocket or luggage the on button tends to turn to on. I also found when I put my iPhone3G into an OtterBox case that the plug into the phone was too big, so to use the Turbo Charge I have to take the iPhone out of its case. Any thin plugs available?
