How well can you see your phone screen through the Phubby? Can you answer a call, leaving the phone in place, using the phone speaker?

Yes and no. In bright sun, I have difficulty seeing the face of my phone, but in lower light conditions it's possible. The Phubby doesn't appear to interfere with sound quality, but I prefer to slide the phone out while talking because I feel a little silly talking to my wrist.

It would be possible. But, I keep a cover on my phone for protection. The phubby was just to keep it handy. I quit using it because it was too tight and uncomfortable to wear.

Yes, you can see the screen well enough to answer a call (although not to play Angry Birds), and use the speaker phone.

can see the light on, can see that it's a text or a call, but that's about it. it's not very good really!

I was disappointed with this feature and found that I can't use the phone in the pouch because I really can't see the screen properly.

poorly made, I could barely see the face of my phone, let alone answer a call.

Yes, it's possible if you set the phone horizontally over a standstill surface!

yes i am as well if i use the phone stand alone. if i use bluetooth or plug in a headphone jack no problem. however, if i don't have it, the screen blacks out and does not come back on until the other party hangs up.

The speaker phone part has a volume control which works very well to be heard and to hear. You should be near the phone to be heard. Thanks

Yes you can but with mine sometimes people on the receiving end of the call say I sound like I'm in a box or can't hear me especially if I try to use the phone on speaker phone. It also seems to effect the phones ability to deal with automatic answer systems it makes it hard to get the computer operator to understand your voice commands. Overall though I like me case since I bought it to protect my phone from drooling kids who think cell phone can swim in bath tubs , dog bowls, and toilets.

Yes. You can hear calls. You can also hear the phone's turn-by-turn navigation and any other sounds such as notifications, etc. If you put the phone in Drive Mode (if you have that option), text messages will be read out loud, and you'll hear that through the speakers as well.

The speaker has its own volume control. So not only can you turn the phone volume up, but you can also turn the speaker itself up a notch.

You can recieve the calls normally, but you won't be able to hear them through the speakers, unfortunately. I tried..

I haven't tried to use the speaker as a speaker phone, so I'm not sure. You'd probably be able to hear your caller through the speaker, but that's about it. It doesn't have a microphone port (at least I haven't seen one), so I doubt you'll be able to have a two way conversation using the speaker. I'll have to check to make sure though, I'll update you if I find out more. Thanks for your question.

the only way is if there is a option on your phone to answer the call with your handset. when a call comes in my iphone shows options on the screen if i want to answer using the phone or the bluetooth speaker

Hi B., Sony Portable Speakers doesn't have phone capability for answering calls. Its main purpose is for producing sound from connected devices. -Vincent

Generally yes, if the phone is answered with a wired speaker the sound plays through the speaker. This speaker doesn't have a microphone or answer button so you will have to use the phone to answer, when the phone is answered it should detect that there in not an external mic because the mic contact will be shunted against ground. Most phones will go into a speaker phone mode automatically using the internal microphone with the sensitivity set as speaker phone would be but will play the the audio through the external speaker or headphones.

Yes, you can play/pause track, step back/ahead, up/down volume, answer/drop calls, turn headphones on/off and perform voice command if available on the phone. A nice voice provides feedback for main actions, and alerts on battery low and connection down.

The sound with a phone is great. I asked the person how I sounded and they said they couldn't tell that I was talking from a headset.

My splash proof jam xt let's me answer and ignore calls. You can turn that function on and off with your phone.

Yes, you can. 2 things I do not like about the phone, otherwise it is GREAT!. sometimes, I get told my speech is garbled. (I use it with Vonage). The speaker on the phone is fine for listening, but sucks for 2 way conversation.

Not at all. And once you answer the call you can continue the conversation with the cover closed because it doesn't cover the listen speakers or the microphone.
