I have admired iHome for a while, and if you haven’t ever tried them out, then you really should.

The iBN16 is a rechargeable mini speaker but with a rubberized finish, and it is made for any and all Bluetooth devices. I realize that goes without saying, but I just like using “any and all” in a sentence, along with the words “without saying”. Anyway, this one is set up for NFC, which means you can do that thing where you tap an NFC-enabled product and it works.

The mini Bluetooth speaker works wirelessly up to 30 feet, and there is an aux line-in jack as well. There is also a line-out jack for connecting additional speakers. It also has a rechargeable lithium ion battery, and I should probably get around to testing how long it will last.

You can get the iHome iBN16 NFC Bluetooth Rechargeable speaker for about $49.95 on the iHome site.
