At a photo can be the size of a product do not really realize not activate any realistic idea of the dimensions given. Because this Speaker Dock Cradle is really small and handy and fits the design well with my iPod Touch. The sound is surprisingly good, although it does not replace a hi-fi stereo system. And you can also 'so go' Use only with battery the speakers. I find this especially useful. And my iPod is therefore still loaded (if one is not my Mac near). In my view, a real asset to the iPod.
