I bought a couple different varieties of these and they would not work because of the way the Ipod touch is beveled on the edge instead of straight. They would work if you held them into the connection and pushed on them, but as soon as you let go they would not work. There are several small portable speaker options that are good and connect to the earphone jack. One is the Orbit, by Alltec Lansing, and Bed , Bath and Beyond sells them for about $29.99, or Sony also has a small external speaker available at Target. etc.
