That's true if operating the SW100 open. But if moving about you can
operate it closed, and it comes with a little pseudo-leather
semi-pouch which closes over the lid snap, which both cushions falls
and stops the lid opening in a fall. The volume control and an earphone
jack are accessible with the pouch thing closed. Pretty robust!
