While I definitely saw the benefits of buying one, I also think that part of the reason I bought it was because I fell into the category that a lot of consumers find themselves in, which is that of "But if I DON'T buy it, am I missing out? What could I be missing out on?" The pain of a loss is often much greater than the feelings of joy that result from a gain, and I can testify to this.
One of the more obvious reasons that I bought it was because it was waterproof AND had the little suction cup to stick to your shower wall. Cool right?
Obviously I know that I can just use my phone to listen to music while showering, but with my last phone, the steamy hot air from the shower caused a layer of condensation to form on the top of the toilet tank where my phone was resting, and water seeped into my phone speakers. Needless to say, my phone spent the night submerged in a bowl of brown rice. Luckily, the rice sucked the moisture out, and my speakers worked normally again. I didn't want to chance it again though with my new phone, hence the SoundBot purchase. Better safe than sorry. So far, the SoundBot works really well! All I have to do is turn it on and connect it to my phone via bluetooth, so I can still listen to Pandora while my phone sits safely in my room. I have the option to turn the volume up or down, change the song, and even answer a phone call if someone calls while I'm in the shower. Kinda weird, but I guess it's nice to know that I have the option. One thing that I know I'll forget about is that you have to charge the SoundBot every now and again (duh). Having an indicator has to how much battery life is left would be the only feature I would add, because while having 6 hours of play time is awesome, I'll never be able to gauge how much of that 6 hours I've used.
Overall, the SoundBot is by no means a necessity, but it is a nice "luxury" item to have.
