Why did you curate the Portable Card Speaker?
"I’m always on the go, and of course I always need to get the party started somewhere. The card speaker does the trick and in an elegant way." Read MoreTHE STORY
As you may have noticed, we here at AHAlife love gadgets—especially when they look as good as they perform. So when our jet-setting, fun-loving head of business development, Matt Wilkerson, came in to the office with this sleek little speaker from IDEA International, we knew we had to feature it on the site. The size of a credit card and no thicker than a blister pack of gum, it has the sound fidelity of a much larger, more expensive speaker. And its streamlined, eye-catching design raises the bar for all other iPhone and mp3 player accessories. The card speaker fits any iPhone, mp3 player or cell phone with a 3.5 mm jack connection. To recharge it, you simply plug it into any USB outlet—a two-hour charge will you give you five hours of use. And to make everything easy peasy, the padded foam carrying case includes a connection plug and a USB cable as well as the speaker. It’s the gadget that will turn your iPhone into a full-on portable sound system.
