Does the speaker quality go down when the case is on?

Not noticably. I listen to podcasts and music frequently and have no complaints.

It's reduced a little bit, but it's not really a significant difference. You get used to it after a while.

No. But I forgot to put in my review that the screen was scratched by the time I finished using their tool to flatten it! I'm not very happy with the screen protector part of it at all.

I found the sound definitely changes but i don't think it's that bad at all. I find that on some of these devices including my phone and iPad i will "cup" the speakers anyway to direct the sound back at me and that's basically what the case does too when flipped over.

No, the volume controls as well as the silent switch are covered when the case is closed.

I Haven't experienced any real difference in sound quality with the case on.

Mine doesn't get any warmer that it does without the case. The bottom is vented to prevent this from happening. However, the keyboard cover makes your sound output slightly lower.

It depends on the case. I've found it's normally not. It does have a USB connection in the back that works exactly the same as the dock connection. That's the one I use. It makes more since than taking your case on and off constantly. I love my speaker system and never leave home without it! You may find that it takes a little time to get acquainted with it's settings. Don't let that discourage you. It's well worth it.

No. I don't think the call quality is affected by this case. Did not notice any differnce in call reception, ability to hear nor in outgoing voice quality. We've had the LIFEPROOF cases and It was hard to hear my kids' speaking.

Speakers, charging port, and headphone jack is open & surrounded by the rubber part of the case. No issue with sound.

Nope, I have not had any troubles with either of the power or volume buttons. I've pretty much forgotten that my phone has a case. It's that good!

I've had that problem myself but it seems sporadic. It can be frustrating . It almost seems it has a warm up period. After I play music for a while , it seems to stop doing this. I'm not the only one saying this . Some of the people who gave reviews on Amazon have this same problem . So it seems not to be a defect. If it is , there are quite a few defective speakers out there.

I know why you are asking that. I've had a few cases in the past where the alignment was poor and it was difficult to turn the phone on or change volume levels. Both the volume and the on/off work fine on this case.

The inner layer, which is rubber, is cut out around the speaker. The inside part of the hard case is also cut out around it too; at the bottom, where your charger plugs, in there is a little cut out in the plastic as well. With this design it basically amplifies the music. I listen to music often when cleaning and such, it is clear and I don't even turn up the volume all the way. I think my music sounds better with the case on.

No.I strongly recommend turning "Live Audio" OFF and turning the volume all the way up before putting the Jambox in the case. Then control your volume and EQ settings from your device.

There are no "flaps" covering the speakers like the ones that cover the plug in locations. The case itself does cover the speakers but have cut outs where the speakers are and have screens to help protect the speakers. It does not affect volume or quality in any way. You won't be sorry going with the case! Best one I've had!

I have not done a thorough before and after on the sound, but I have no difficulty hearing sounds/ music with the case on. It is silicon right around the speakers, so there may be some dampening, but not significant.

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.
