10/10, I would buy it again.
Dislikes - weight, not heavy but you don't want to carry the phone around with this attached. Requrires me to remove the case each time I want to use the speaker. Battery is great to have but it runs off the phone battery first, if you kill the phone and run it off the speaker you have a dead phone when you take the speaker off. Should be the other way around and hopefully a software update will fix this.
My greatest complaint is the kickstand. When utilized, it points the speakers down at a 45 degree angle, thus losing quite a bit of the definition of the sound. I would rather they had devised a stand that would allow the phone to stand on its edge at a 90 degree angle to the ground.
Overall, a good buy.
**************
edit: I really wanted to like this speaker, so I've been using it pretty much constantly since it came in.
pros: It's sooo convenient and compact. Go anywhere. Fits in your pocket. People take notice. It's fits my Z4 great and it is cool looking! It would be good for boosting conference calls, if that is your goal, as it definitely beats the phone's speaker. No issues with battery life. And I really like having the stand.
cons: Speaker placement seems to make a big difference in sound. The problem is, sound goes from really bad to barely tolerable...at least for music, though I do find the vocals to be a little muffled. The bass is severely lacking and what little is there, isn't very accurate with poor tonal separation. Bass extension is pretty much non-existent.

I've been using it daily for the past 2 months
Depending on the volume level the battery will go down accordingly. I get about 2.5-3 hours of battery life on complete full volume. With moderate volume like watching shows it can last 9-10 hours easily.
It charges pretty fast as well, pretty cool you can charge your phone with the battery connected to your phone and charge both at the same time. If you charge it by itself it charges reasonably quick, about 45 minutes to full charge. If your mod battery dies it will start using your phone battery.
The volume is really loud for the size, sometimes I use it in my truck and have to turn the volume down because it can get pretty loud. My friends are all surprised with this mod.
The kickstand on the back is pretty sturdy too, I tend to fiddle around with it all the time and it still clicks back and forth flush with the speaker.
Only complaint i have that it can be bulky. But it's definitely manageable.
Definitely a great mod.
