The device comes wrapped in extra protective material:

On the top we can see the rubberized finish, which has a nice feel to the touch. Considering the device shape, it can be carried very easy when closed:

The hinge that keeps both parts of the device together has the iHome logo debossed on it:

The back side is covered with the same rubberized finish and we can also see some ventilation holes along with some protective caps that cover different compartments under the product:

On the bottom sticker we can find some more technical specifications, like the rating for the internal rechargeable battery, the AC Adaptor specifications or the frequency ranges:

On the bottom we can also find 4 little rubber feet, to avoid the product slip on the surface it will sit on, but also to permit ventilation under it:

One of the caps can be removed easy for replacing the clock battery backup, which is the same type as the one we can find in the remote control:

In the frontal part of the device we can find the IR sensor for the remote:

The top part can be lifted very easy, and the device interface will be revealed right away, along with the speakers and the LCD display:

The top LCD display has an adjustable backlight and shows multiple information; the unit I have received came completely discharged so nothing was shown on the screen:

The unit has buttons for adjusting the volume, setting the audio source (AUX or FM radio), Equalizer, the power/reset alarm function, sleep mode, saving FM radio frequency presets, the Bongiovi DPS function, the snooze/dimmer, reverse/play/pause/forward, the alarm function and for the time sync/set function:

In the back, we can see the jack to insert the included FM antenna or an auxiliar external audio source, a switch to adjust the DST, another switch for switching the radio from stereo to mono, but also one for setting the remote function (Auto function disables the remote function when operating on the internal battery, to save battery life). Finally, also on the back we can find the DC-IN port for the power supply:

The LCD shows us various information depending on the operating mode:
