 A must-have April 9, 2007

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
 Doesn't work so well. September 21, 2006

I received the marware pouch two days ago to use on my Asics. It holds the sensor well, but frankly, the setup doesn't work. My Nano catches only about half of steps. In fact, when calibrating for walking, it only captures .13-.14 of a .25 mile walk. My Nano gave me a calibration error because it was so far off. When I calibrated the run, it got .3 off a .25 mile. When I took it for my test run this morning, it only got .49 mile for over a mile run.
This is the Bomb! for NIke+ September 9, 2006

Now you can use your Nike+ transmitter with all your shoes = not just the Nike+ ones.
Yes, this does work. The transmitter doesn't need to be under your foot. Take the transmitter from your shoe and test it out: Squeeze the transmitter with your fingers routinely = little difference on your iPod Nike+ Nano. Now take the sensor in your hand and move it back and forth = Your Nike+ iPod Nano picks up the signal.
Do I have the Marware transmitter holder? No, I cut the finger off a $1 pair of ruberized cotton gloves and stuck my transmitter in that. Pinned the transmitter (in sock) to my shoe and tied it in with the laces. There was nothing nothing else available locally.
 $19.95? This is overpriced at Amazon October 9, 2006

This same item is $9.95 on the Marware website. I don't understand why Amazon is selling it for double the price.
Sleek and sexy, but my accuracy rate went down... January 3, 2007
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
This iPod sensor holder looks so much better on my shoes than the huge Shoe Wallet I was using before. The only problem is that when I used it, my accuracy rate fell into an unacceptable range. I did a three mile run and it only registered 1.5 miles. I tried recalibrating, but the iPod couldn't read the sensor enough to register that I had gone ANY distance, much less 400 meters.
The second I put the sensor back into the Shoe Wallet, my accuracy rate was right back to normal. The Sport Sensor is gathering dust in a drawer now...
