1270 - A customer indicated that the case sometimes breaks off at the grip and that water can get in and the circuits corrode. These were determined to be clear design weaknesses. We continue to work on all products and make improvements when ever possible!
We have made changes to improve:
1) Added a machined steel support to reinforce the bottom of the case so that it will not break.
2) Weather-proofed by adding silicon around the junction between the face plate and the case halves.
3) Sealed the speaker (it's mounted on top and points up) with a clear plastic seal.
