I don't see any speaker holes in the image. Does the case muffle or lessen the sound? Thank you

No holes needed for the speaker. It has a cutout where the speaker is so no obstruction at all. I still use my holder/stand everyday and works fine. I took back to BN the $25-30 dollar one I bought new with the tablet because this one was more flexible in using and cheaper.

The speaker hole is there but covered by the elastic band in the picture on Amazon. When open, the sound is not blocked in any way by the case.

There is a cutout in the back of the cover for the speaker, so the sound comes through fine. Also, the power switch, volume buttons and headphone jack are completely accessible when the Nook is in the case. I originally thought the power button was covered up, but it turned out I had the case rotated to an upside down position (you can rotate it a full 360 degrees) when I put my Nook in it.

The speaker does lose about 40% in volume when laying flat. But that's because of the phone's speaker design, not due to the case. The same problem exist whether a case is used or not.

I have not had any issues. There is a hole in the case over the microphone.

There are holes for the sound to pass through. I don't have any problems with the sound coming through. This is an awesome case, not bulky and very snug, I love it. Hope this helps. I am very satisfied with this purchase, in fact I now have the same style in two other colors, lol.

I very rarely experience any echo or muffling and if I do im 99.9% sure it isnt the case...its my service. The case itself does not block any of the speakers...not the one that rests on your ear or the one that plays media. If you get this case I would suggest getting screen protectors because the screen is exposed. No big deal they are very inexpensive.

the on/off and volume buttons are not cut outs - so there aren't holes to touch the actual buttons, but the case has indentation for these buttons so even though they are covered, they work well. i didn't have any problems with this at all. hope that helps!

Hi, yes there is a hole and it doesn't interfere. The back is the same material. My wife has this and is vey happy with the case. Hope this helps.

It doesn't on the iPhone, but I am sure this s4 one will affect the sound quality without a hole for the speaker.

To me, the call speaker sounds good with minimal tunnel effect. The membrane that protects the rear speaker can be "buzzy" when the phone output in high. Other than that minor detail, I am very happy with the case and clip setup. The case doesn't have a hard screen protector, so I make sure to carry the phone face-in on the clip.

The gumdrop case is custom designed to fit the openings located on your device. There are small flaps that snuggly open and close. I use the audio port a lot for my speakers. Also there are small holes over the internal speakers so you can hear just fine.

Good question, There are holes in the case corresponding to the microphone holes. It doesn't seem to affect quality, judging from the voicemails I've heard of my voice left with this phone.

There is a small hole in the rubber casing right behind the speaker, then there is a slot in the hard plastic casing that that directs the sound out through the bottom of the case, You can't see it in the back because it is inside the credit card department. I can here the sound fine, and I really like this case, it is kinda fat but I dont carry a wallet now so I like that.

In my opinion it does not affect the sound quality. The case offers perfect protection for this excellent high end Bose component. Every time I bring it to BBQ's at wounderful Zürich-Lake my friends are fascinated cause this case its not available outside the U.S. I would highly recommend. Sacha, Zürich, Switzerland

Sorry, I don't have that problem with my case. But the speakers are on the back of the galaxy S5 phone so make sure nothing is covering them.

The speaker and the mic are 2 different holes. The speaker is on the back and the mic is on the bottom. The case has a hole on the bottom that let's sound in.

The hole on the bottom back lower of the case is to let the speaker on your nook not be covered with anything to obstruct sound coming from it
