Digital camera reviews of Switcheasy RunAway Nike Plus iPod AnyShoe Adapter (Black)
Digital camera Review: Unique Features not offered by other pouches
Summary: 5 Stars
I've got over 500 running miles using the Switcheasy with no problems. This product has a few unique features that the others don't have.
1. quick attach and disconnect for switching shoes. Very easy; much better than fussing with wrapping little velcro arms around laces. Pull, turn, slide-out.
2. Direct, finger push access to the little on/off button on the sensor. Handy if you want your sensor battery to last longer. you can even access it without fully taking the sensor off of your shoe- just pull-turn-press, and you're good to go.
3. comes with caps for the Receiver connector that slides into the housing for 'safe keeping' and keeping your Nike+ goodies together.
Hard to imagine how it could possibly fall off as reported in some other reviews. Seems very secure to me. (but I believe them- I guess the product plastic must have broken)
Digital camera Review: Wanted to love this but it falls off...a LOT
Summary: 2 Stars
This inexpensive little "Switcheasy" clip looked like a promising solution to holding the Nike plus sensor onto your shoe if, like me, you prefer running shoes other than Nikes with the built-in sensor pocket (I am a big fan of Asics Gel Kayanos). In fact, I bought two "clear" clips. I have a different pouch that laces onto my shoes, but it's hard to remove since you've got to unlace the shoe completely, so I thought this clip would give me an easy way to change between walking, running, hiking shoes etc.
It IS very easy to switch. The problem is, it's too easy: it falls off. A lot. I read the directions and carefully tried to "lock" it onto my laces. But I lost two separate sensors...one while walking in my neighborhood and the other while on a cruise ship deck. I was always picking it up after it fell off around the house or on the street. I do walk a mile or two almost daily, but I'm hardly a "power user"...I don't run much and I'm not hiking in the backwoods. THe clips are not expensive, but the Nike plus sensors in the sport kit or with the new Nike plus sportsband aren't cheap. It just doesn't make sense to use this clip and risk losing the sensor.
The best choice: the velcro-driven Marware sportsuit sensor case, currently on Amazon at $9.99. Velcros right onto your shoe laces. Easy, secure. And no, I don't work for Marware. There is always some slight accuracy loss with all these clips, but they make so much sense because they allow flexibility with your workout shoe purchase AND what particular shoes you want to wear that day -- especially important if you wear waterproof/cleat walking shoes in the rain and ice.

This product in made of poor quality plastic and it can be easily knocked off. Once knocked off it falls apart and does not protect the running chip.Digital camera Review: not delivered

I would love to rate the item but since It has not been delivered to me its impossible to do it, so I hope to get it anytime soon, and then I could write a review.
