Outdoor Tech Turtle Shell 2.0

The symmetrical Turtle Shell 2.0 has overall dimensions of 5.5”W x 4.75”D x 2.25”H and weighs 10.9 ounces. On its front are three pushbutton controls: skip forward/back, which doubles as volume up/down; and a pause/play button that doubles as a Bluetooth pairing control, and can be used to answer phone calls if you’re set up for that. On the right side, toward the rear, is a small On/Off slider. When you turn the Turtle Shell on or off, the action is confirmed with a spoken acknowledgment as well as a light -- orange for off, blinking blue for on -- but these are momentary and give no indication after a few seconds. You’ll have to look at the switch’s position to confirm whether the Turtle is on or off. On the left side is a covered compartment containing a USB Micro port and a 3.5mm input. On the Turtle’s underside are four small suction-cup feet to hold it in place on a flat surface, and a loop for a lanyard or carabineer. There’s also a socket for use with a tripod or the Turtle Claw bike and all-purpose mount
