Speaker protection systems can be configured to protect audio speakers from falls. In some embodiments, systems include a bottom cap coupled to a bottom portion of the speaker device. Systems can also include a top cap coupled to a top portion of the speaker device. The top cap can cover part of a top surface of the speaker device such that the top cap is configured to resist downward dislodgement of the top cylindrical cap. The top cap can be rotatably coupled to the bottom cap. Embodiments can enable variable shock absorption with resistance to deformation that increases as the magnitude of the deformation increases. This approach can maximize odds of speakers “surviving” falls from substantial heights.
