There are a lot of small bluetooth speakers out there and even more mini-wired speakers that make your cell phone or kindle or iPad much more listener friendly. Over the last year or so I have use a couple of different mini speakers set next to the shower on a shelf. Those are okay but it is really difficult to change songs on your smart phone if your hands are all wet.

Positives:
-The speaker really is waterproof. I know this because I dropped it into the bathtub and it was fully immersed.
-When you turn it on it says. "Power on" and when you turn it off it says, "Power off."
-It is by far the easiest bluetooth device I have to pair with my phone and my Kindle. Some devices require multiple attempts. This one gets it the first time, every time.
-If you were to place this speaker in the middle of a large room and let it blast out it would not be impressive. But, it is designed to play in your shower and the acoustics in most showers are awesome. This speaker rocks the shower!
-The battery lasts 2.5 to 10 hours depending on the volume level.
-The phone actually sounds very good, especially for a device where the phone was most likely an afterthought.
-The Bluetooth has a range of at least 15 feet.
-The speaker comes in 4 different colors: black, blue, pink and silver.
Negatives:
-The suction cup to attach the speaker to the shower wall is just a bad idea all around. Mine detached itself and fell when I was away from home once. It's probably not a good idea to drop speakers so I decided to just nestle it among the shampoo bottles on the shower caddy. If the speaker did stick perfectly to the wall you'd have to be taken it off the wall on a regular basis to recharge the battery, anyway. Plus, oftentimes I take it with me around the house while I am getting ready in the morning.
The AquaAudio Cubo speaker measures about 3 inches by 3 inches by 2.5 inches (including the suction cup).
