Abstract
A substantially waterproof player presents content stored on an electronic storage device. The player has a body with a recess that houses the storage device and a closeable opening to permit access to the recess. A door is connected to the body and moves between an open position allowing access to the recess from outside the body and a closed position covering the opening. A docking piece in the recess holds the storage device, and moves between a receiving position for receiving and removing the storage device and a housed position for holding the storage device. The docking piece moves into the receiving position when the door moves into the open position. The docking piece moves into the housed position when the door is moved into the closed position. An input device in the recess receives the content from the storage device.
