Time For Question the Great Void!

I'm looking for a travel alarm clock to replace the one I have now, which is slowly dying. Apparently, what I require in a travel alarm clock is too much.

I want a sturdy travel clock with:

  • some kind of protective cover/casing
  • large, easy to read numbers (so i can read it w/o finding my glasses)
  • a snooze that is either adjustable or of decent length (10 minutes or so)
  • a common battery size, i.e. AA or AAA
Preferably under $20 and loud enough to hear from several feet away. Any suggestions, wise internets?

I just bought one that is all that except for snooze adjustiness (FIVE minutes? That's not snoozing!)

However, it also sets itself by checking the atomic clock signal, and takes the temperature, so I forgave it for the five minute thing.

LL Bean has an awesome travel alarm clock that I use on trips. The actual alarm is a little beepier than I like (I prefer to wake up to the radio), but it's better than most alarms. the big #s with the indiglo makes it possible for me to read it w/o my glasses. I think snooze is either 7 or 10 minutes. I forget. I'll let you test it out next time I see you.
