Digital camera reviews of Marware Sportsuit Sensor Case for Nike + iPod Sport Kit for iPod nano 3G (Black)
Digital camera Review: A bit pricey, but works well
Summary: 5 Stars
Using a ziplock bag and inserting it under the laces would do the trick, but the pouch looks much nicer :) and it's easy to switch between shoes. It is also more secure than the plastic strap sold online. I have the Nike+ and the Adidas mi coach (both have space inside for the sensor) .. but using the pouch makes it easier to switch .. unless it's a rainy day then it might be safer to have the sensor hidden inside.Digital camera Review: A must-have
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, at the Apple Store on a whim, thinking I could just slip the sensor under my shoelaces. This worked for a while, but was less than elegant. The sensor would slip around and, once in a while, find its way out, even after switching the way I tied my shoes to "zipper Lacing" (look it up).
A good friend recommended I give this pouch a try. At less than $10, there was really no reason not to.
The pouch itself is clearly finely made, with durable, elastic materials and a night tight fit.
As for accurasy, initial reports were less accurate than when I had it inside my shoe. So I put a little thought and testing into it, and now it's working flawlessly!
Things to keep in mind when using the pouch:
1) Make sure the sensor is inserted correctly (so it's oriented right-way-up when attached).
2) Place it as far down your laces as you can. The closer to your toes, the flatter the top of your shoe, which makes for more accurate readings.
3) MAKE SURE that it's TIGHTLY attached to your laces. The sensor works by measuring the amount of force you step with, which is measured as shock. If it's just floppin' around on there, much of the shock will be absorbed, resulting in incorrect measurements. Really crank it down when velcro'ing it on, as though it's a part of your shoe, and you'll get the best results.
And the best part? I don't have to buy new, expensive shoes to house the transmitter! =D
Digital camera Review: A useful product
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading the above reviews, I was careful and followed the instructions on placing the sensor in the pouch. I got the same reading as when the sensor was in my shoe. So, I for one, am happy with this product because I don't have to buy the 100 dollar Nike shoes to use it.Digital camera Review: AWESOME DEVICE

MY DAUGHTER & HER BOYFRIEND BOUGHT ME A NANO FOR CHRISTMAS & SUGGESTED THE NIKE & IPOD WORKOUT ASSISTANT. AT THIS POINT I REALLY AM NOT INTERESTED IT AN EXPENSIVE PAIR OF SNEAKERS TO TRACK MY CALORIE BURNING, ETC. I FOUND THIS DEVICE AND PURCHASED IT, IT WORKS GREAT FOR WALKING & RUNNING. I FOUND IT DOESNT DETECT MOTION ON THE ELIPTICAL. I STILL THINK IT IS CHEAPER THEN A 80-90 DOLLARS PR OF SNEAKERS.Digital camera Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy to attach and remove from your shoes. This has stood up to the elements well and retains the accuracy of your nike+ sensor. Absolutely worth the purchase.
