BoomCase: The iPod Speaker in a Suitcase - Hong Kong Silicon Valley

Dominic Francisco Odbert turned a suitcase into a speaker for the iPod, and it became a favorite among music lovers. In fact, because business was so good, he postponed his plans to graduate from graduate school.

Over the past half-century, portable music players have become commonplace, bringing vitality to many parties. In the earliest days, phonographs were housed in cases about the size of a suitcase. During the era when rap and cassettes were all the rage, portable boomboxes ruled the scene. Today, the iPod has become the choice for most people, with sales exceeding 275 million units. The playback devices may change, but songs remain timeless. People want their own music, and they want it now—so they choose BoomCase.
