For one thing, it's too fat to put in a pocket. A problem compounded by its silly shape. One of the things that makes carrying around a portable amplifier just about bearable is the fact that its shape at least resembles most mp3 players. Makes pocket-carrying significantly more comfortable. The fact this case has multiple layers as well makes tucking the cord away extremely annoying. I don't want to have to open the thing twice. The transparent lid is pointless as well (surely not cost efficient), and again, the dome-like shape is just wasting space.
I really love the mold though. The material is particularly funky. And although the inclusion of a little mold to carry the ports is a nice touch, it's largely of little use (at least in where it is currently situated).
The case should be rectangular in shape. Only as thick as it has to be. The cord doesn't need to be tucked away. You could extend the mold slightly to include a spindle (or two) about which one can wrap the cord around in the mold itself, nice and neat. That would be ideal. There would even be enough room for the ports in the centre. I'll try and put together a mock drawing maybe.
