When the top of the Creative TravelDock 900 is open, its simple design is pleasing to the eye. Two drivers are spaced a few inches apart, on either side of a small dock area for flash players. This dock area consists of simple 3.5mm plug, which is standard for most headphone jacks; lightweight flash players plug right into it. An auxiliary line input and a standard audio cable are included for heavier MP3 players and laptops. When the lid is closed, however, this unit resembles a white, oblong mussel shell that never seems to close all the way. It's not ugly; it just seems awfully clunky for a unit with only two drivers. Still, travelers should have no problem making room for it in their messenger bags and suitcases. It measures 6.0 by 2.5 by 1.7 inches when closed and weighs just 9.11 ounces (without batteries).

Along the back of the Creative TravelDock 900, you'll find a few useful ports and features. On the far left is a universal USB adapter that lets you simultaneously play and charge an iPod Shuffle (if the speakers are plugged in to DC power). To the right are the auxiliary line input, the Wide Stereo Effect switch (more on this below), and the DC power jack. However, a power adapter is not included.
