First of all it is as cute in person as, it is in the picture. The next thing I noticed that this little speaker has some weight to it, not to heavy though, so it is a sturdy little thing. It paired quickly with my iPod and the sound blew me away! You would think I turned on a stereo instead of this little speaker. If you wanted to you could put it on your key chain or leave it in your purse it wouldnt take up any space at all.
