After I open it I get 2 set of speakers. Its X-Mini Max II and X-Mini Gen II Speaker . I try to test the X-Mini Max II speakers first. The design is unique like capsule and if you want to use it, you can separate each other by pulling it gently. By twist and lift counter clockwise you will reveal the resonator. Now the part to connect to my lovely Acer netbook by using the USB cable. Connect 2 mini USB adapter to each speakers (turn it on) and the stereo plug into the audio port netbook. I try the heavy metal song from Metallica and the quality is loud and clear. I would not expect too much from X-Mini portable speaker but the stylish and ultra-portable design really amazed me.

Now the second speaker – X-Mini Gen II which can be parallel (daisy-chain) more than one speakers with the same type. I see on the image it can be parallel up to 5 (maybe more). But so sorry I do not know the quality if it parallel ( I just got one speakers) and for the quality is lower a bit rather than X-Mini Max II. The different is the cable for audio jack is under the speakers, so you can directly plug into the portable player or you can use the USB adaptor to connect it.

Now the conclusion about both of the speakers. With unique model and ultra-portable design X-Mini Capsule speaker is really recommended for you. It can be connect to music player such as iPod, mobile phone, PC, laptop, MP3/MP4 player and PSP as long as it has 3.5mm stereo output port. The quality is above standard and if it include optional subwoofer I think the sound will be much better. But this speakers is build to carry on with light weight right? Now I know why this speakers as the winner of Red Dot Design Awards (Germany) and Infocomm Singapore Awards.

So lets see what inside of this BodyGuardz scratch proof for the Storm. You will get the Application Solution which is must apply to the protector and at your hands but not to your device; the protector screen for Blackberry Storm (include the layout diagram) and you get 2 pairs for the front and back device; and the squeegee to overlapping the strokes. Also you can see how to application instruction on the box and read it carefully.

I really love the BodyGuards because it give me 2 pairs of protector. If you fail to apply the protector, you have a backup and you can replace it with the new one. The first that I do is to read all of the instruction carefully and there are some basic rules that you must have to do to make success apply the protector. For example: TURN OFF your device, wet your hands when apply the protector, do not push too hard when using the squeegee, you must know the pattern of the device, and SLOW BUT SURE when apply it

Ow..dont forget, on BodyGuardz website you can see the video how to apply the protector. You can see how to video from many devices like iPhone 3G, iPod shuffle, BlackBerry Pearl 8100, Motorola RAZR, Sony PSP, and MacBook 13. After watch the video for Blackberry Pearl, I ready to apply it on my BlackBerry Storm.

First time I get nervous but after several minutes I enjoy how to apply it and for almost an hour I finish it!! And I almost forget, the device must not turn on until 12 hours. Hiks..so sad I cant get mobile using my Blackberry, but it must. And I really satisfied with the result

With the price only $24.95 for the full body of my Blackberry Storm, the BodyGuardz really useful to protech from scratch. Its like an insurance from scratch for your device and also you get the backup protector when you fail to apply it. But if you successful apply to all, the price is really cheap! Its only $12.5 for each device and for sure I really recommend BodyGuardz
