Hi Annie,
Both the Braven and the Turtle Shell and, for that matter, the Beatbox and Jambox all have 3.5mm inputs so you can use a regular cable with a headphone jack to connect devices that don't have Bluetooth.

Thank you for the information. Do these speakers have a mini jack connection too. Best regards Annie.

However, when I checked the Braven website I read that it has a water resistant rating of IPX5. The IP/IPX designation is an international standard and you can google this and look it up. Anyhow, I just thought I mention that the Turtle Shell Speaker from Outdor Technology which I wrote about last week seems to compare quite nicely, but it is $150 versus the $180 for the BRV-1 and it has an IPX6 rating which is more waterproof and dust proof. The downside is that the current Turtle Shell has no battery indicator on the phone, but Outdoor Technology is about to release their first Bluetooth 4.0 headset in June and then this will be followed by the Armedillo which is a Bluetooth 4.0 speaker that compares to the Big Jambox in size and sound and a new Bluetooth 4.0 Turtle Shell should follow later this year. This will have a battery level readout on the phone and apparently hugely improved battery life. You can read more about the products from Outdoor Technology at <http://www.OutdoorTechnology.com> www.OutdoorTechnology.com. Below is the definition for IPX5 and IPX6 with respect to dust and water resistance: Dust: 5 = Dust protected Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; 6 = Dust tight No ingress of dus. Water: 5 = Water jets Water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. Test duration: at least 3 minutes. Water volume: 12.5 litres per minute. Pressure: 30 kPa at distance of 3 m. 6 = Powerful water jets Water projected in powerful jets (12.5 mm nozzle) against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. Test duration: at least 3 minutes. Water volume: 100 litres per minute. Pressure: 100 kPa at distance of 3 m.
