I wanted to buy a hotshoe cover (P600) for my Panasonic LX3 pictured below. I found it at SillieNation.

I was looking around the site and saw the X-Mini speakers. I did a little research and found great reviews for it so I ordered one too. The site’s owner, Eilis texted me that the new X-Mini II (P1,600) was arriving the next day so I ordered that instead. I didn’t know what to expect when I plugged in my Ipod Touch. I was amazed to hear a loud, clear and bass heavy sound. It was absolutely fabulous. I can’t imagine such a big, full sound coming from a tiny thing like this. I tried playing different songs from Adele’s “Chasing Pavements” to Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody”. It all sounded great even when I put it on the loudest volume. The sound can be comparable to a 3 piece pc speaker with sub-woofer even though it’s just a mono speaker.
Another thing I love about this speaker is it’s built in rechargeable battery that lasts for 11 hours. A usb cable for charging comes with it. If you have more than one of these X-Mini IIs you can connect them together with the supplied cable to create an even louder sound. I played it in our office and impressed the people there and now they want to order 5 speakers for their families.
Ordering from SillieNation is a breeze and delivery is super fast c/o Air 21. I ordered this on Thursday and got it on Friday morning.

I also bought a Ricoh LC1 auto lens cap in Hong Kong for my Panasonic LX 3. It’s so convenient since I always forget to remove the lens cover before. I used my Fujifilm F100fd to take these 2 shots.
