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.

5 Stars This ipod cable is great!
This cable is great for the 5th generation ipod I use and now I can watch it on TV instead of watching it on the computer like I use to.The picture is great and looks like a DVD and this thing is so awesome and now its easier to watch movies,music videos and anything else.At first I only had the audio working not the video.You have to switch the video settings on the ipod.Another thing I like about this cable is that the other end can be used to charge the ipod while you watch the video,I think all the cable have this but it’s nice.This ipod cable is cheap so you don’t have to spend $50 on other ipod cables.Just make sure you know what generation ipod it is before you buy this because it works with 4th,5th,& 5.5 generations only not the newer ones.

3 Stars Wasn’t very useful for me
I was trying to figure out a way to play my iPod videos on my Tv, so I bought this cord which is worth it for the price. The problem is, I don’t think that you can plug a cord into the headphone jack of the iPod for it to work. So I’m not sure if this will play videos from your iPod onto your TV without an adapter, I couldn’t tell how. This is still a good cable to have to plug things into your TV though. It didn’t work for mr so I bought a retractable cable that had the same TV connections but had the iPod composit connection at the bottom of the iPod.

4 Stars .
IT works fine for my ipod, but was a gift my brother who has the classic. I thought it would work for him, but it didn’t. oh well

1 Star Don’t waste your money
I tried this cable out and the video quality was terrible (smeared colors, video), even though the same Video iPod worked great with the the video cable from my camcorder.

3 Stars Partially Worked
we got this to hook our ipod nano gen.1 to the tv and it didn’t work but sound did. So it saved buying an Ihome.

5 Stars Worked perfect for connecting my Dell to my Samsung LN46A550
I bought this cable to connect my Dell Inspiron 9200 with my Samsung LN46A550. I used a DVI-HDMI converter for the video and this cable to transmit the audio. Everything worked perfect!!!

Hint: When connecting this cable to the TV make sure to use HDMI slot 2 and connect this cable to the digital audio (not the analog). Otherwise you will not get any audio. Do not connect it to the ports on the side of the TV since that audio is analog …. so no audio.

5 Stars Exactly what we needed.
We bought this splitter to connect our laptop to our sound system, so we could view movies, slide shows, etc on our television. It works like a charm, and we are able to disconnect it easily and store it out of the way until the next use. Depending on your setup, you may need a longer cord. Our laptop sits next to the entertainment system furniture, and it barely reaches. Better to be safe than sorry.

4 Stars Good
It is not the best cord ever but i didn’t need the best cord ever. it served my needs very well.

5 Stars Awesomeness
This cord is so hard to find and it was exactly what I needed. Thank you Belkin!!!

5 Stars Works like a charm!
I purchased this splitter because I have tv shows on my laptop that I would rather watch on my 42” Plasma HDTV, and unfortunately S-video cables don’t transmit sound as well as video. So I bought this, plugged it into the headphone jack on my laptop and into the Audio inputs on my tv, and low and behold it worked like a charm! Finally I don’t have to watch on a big screen while listening to the speakers on my laptop…
