So funny Rick and, yes, you sometimes wonder just what substance these people are on. They throw wads of money into crazy ideas when all they need is a blob of plasticine to do the job... sometimes it's a case of not seeing the wood for the trees and, yes, it sometimes helps to step back from the workbench and go out and sniff the roses for a few hours.... when you come back you may see things from a different angle. Plasticine rules by the way

"Plasticine rules by the way" yes it does but two thing for cel phone use 1-they get tossed around a lot so any acoustic/vibration treatment should be one that does not rely on it staying there just because.In other words and hard surface to hard surface mechanical isolation can be an adhesive type (thin cork sheets with sticky stuff on the back,thin stips of inner tube type rubber applied with contact cement,better yet layers of the two ) but only if extremely low in mass or the end result of all that inertia from being buffeted about will be bits of "sticky stuff" rattling around inside 2-I'm not real comfy with such a substance inside a tightly sealed chamber that has the potential to be tossed on car dashboard.There where with the the heat built up from being under a magnifying glass beaming pure sunlight hence causing the interior temps to rise above the melting point the blue tac/sticky stuff would be more gooey bluey or sticky goo,not condusive to a proper operation I would think 3-would do zip for acoustic damping unless you filled the entire chamber then when the efficiency of the speaker goes below the teeny tiny alread stressed to the limits (limited power availability in such a high density circuit even for Class-D) amps ability to drive it to full volume since damping reduces efficiency. bottom line is maybe they need to design a proper housing up front rather than throwing electronic fixes at a mechanical problem due to piss poor design R&D but that would be too easy plus would mean the phones could not be so damn cute/tiny and we all know it is the appearance of hi tech that counts not good design practice.Added mass and rigidity does not exactly go hand in hand with teeny tiny and light...... "sometimes it's a case of not seeing the wood for the trees an" More they look for a complicated electronic option for even the simplest troubles and this goes to "getting out more".Only well rounded well balanced humans that live a full life tasting from all the fruits of can see solutions outside their particular area of responsibility but spend your whole life as a tech geek or a "shut in" and these are the only POSSIBLE answers from their world view. It has always been my experience that it is best to use the proper tool for the job or you risk mangling that job beyond any hope of repair and to always go the the most simplistic solution possible for any problem on the theory that the more you complicate a thing the more "parts" of that no matter what that item is and the more comlex it is the easier it is for something to go wrong and when it does the very nature of it being complicated is what makes the "fix" also far too complicated for good reliability. The " it has to look high tech so we can justify our pay" answer to the dillema by those engineers went way overboard trying to correct would be to just cover the interior of the case in strategic spots with single side adhesive closed cell rubber to handle any "plastic" sounds then a small chunk of "floating" open cell phone to handle the back wave of the speaker. www.rubber-gaskets.com/images/foam-cushions-2.jpg[/img]If they REALLY wanted to justify their salary and do it right this would not be a willy nilly deal but more a combination of electronic frequency correction combined with strategic damping fore a proper balance of reflection/absorption maybe actually restoring some true natural fidelity to the human voice with an added plus that once the "Flat Line" generic compensation EQ attained would be a simply Menu/shift>EQ> -/+ to tunes that to taste.Something that only works if you start out with a benchmark of quality so any adjustments small ones rather than trying to beat a crap sonic profile into submission with heavy handed EQ that never ever works anyway
