Boost Your iPhone Speaker With the Eco-Amp
Eco Made creates a passive iPhone amp out of recycled paper.
Passive amplifying of smartphones seems to be pretty popular nowadays, with devices such as the iBamboo speaker dock and DIY methods such as placing your iPhone in a bowl. This particular passive amplifier by Eco Made, is quite interesting, seeing as how it is made completely out of recyclable paper. Dubbed the Eco-Amp, this passive amp is die-cut from 100% consumer chipboard.
Like an origami kit, the Eco-Amp comes as a flat piece of paper that you get to transform into a neat little sound booster for your iPhone speaker. Seeing as how the amp is pretty much just a piece of paper that you have to build yourself, the $8 price tag may seem a little bit steep. Regardless, the Eco-Amp is a neat little concept that is perfect if you are looking for a convenient, easy-to-setup boost in sound.
EDIT: Oh it was the plastic passive amplifier for the ipad, a bit different than this cardboard one

that said, get a blue tooth speaker,
get a speaker base station,
the speakers in the ipad and iopt touch (iphone may be better) are such poor quality, i'm surprised they don't bundle a external speaker from the getgo.

Still, I agree with everyone else, the speakers will be crap no matter how much you tweak them.
i was just going on the speakers in the device alone, but yea, from what i understand they also have bad quality over all for sound as far as how much they cost, audio wise, ill discount processing and screen as thats another topic.
