In the ratings is said that it BOSE not even a "rudimentary protection 'git. That is so not right. The alternative hinzuzubestellende leather (look) Case (think about 30+) although does not provide good protection, but this is in view of the fact that the speaker area during operation simply must be open, understandable.
The carrying bag bought here fits. It fits very well. In fact, it fits so good that the device practically no longer can be pushed with the BOSE Cover. I have nevertheless done it and the seams are easily torn at the top of the sleeve. After I had the BOSE SoundLink III INCL BOSE Cover dringelassen two weeks, I'm with the protective cover to the tailor. He has me so justly sewn for 15 that the BOSE equipment now fits in with Bose Cover.
I am nevertheless satisfied. That thing can wear super, power supply can be stored, what more could you want. In this regard, I recommend the 12V adapter BOSE when times longer in the country)
Who is too stingy, yet a protective cover will, I recommend to use the supplied in its original packaging Transport cases. Works almost just as well, but looks s ****** s and has not so much comfort;)
When in doubt, rather buy recommendation, especially if you do not want to use the BOSE Cover.
