User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Works as advertised
The Nike plus sensor fits snug into the sensor case. When using this case, I calibrated the sensor using the ipod touch and was surprised that the sensor was tracking very close without any calibration. This was a very cost effective solution to the problem of Nike requiring special shoes for their sensor. Good job Marware!

5 Stars Awesome!!
I recently bought a pair of nike shox that were not compatible with the iPod sport kit. The Marware case allowed me to pick the shoes that I wanted without sacrificing the ability to use the sport kit which was on of the reasons that I bought an iPod in the first place instead of one of the less expensive mp3 players. The distance measurements are accurate as long as you attach it to your shoe properly (the directions tell you how). One more good thing about it is the fact that you don’t have to take the insole out of your shoe every time you want to turn the sensor off.(I turn mine off every time to save the battery so the inside of my shoe would probably be worn out a lot faster)

I would recommend this product to everyone that is thinking about getting the sport kit and still wants to pick the shoes of their choice.

4 Stars Nike+ Sensor Case
Wonderful item!! I have a pair of Adidas shoes, and I use the sensor case, and it is RIGHT ON! I calibrated my run on the track and it is perfectly calibrated to the step! I frequently recheck to make sure that it is still accurate, and it never disappoints me! You do have to follow the directions and insert the sensor into the case EXACTLY as it tells you to, otherwise, it will NOT be accurate.

5 Stars Great product
I use the sensor case with a pair of Asics Kayanos and I absolutely love it! The sensor fits in the case snugly, and I have no concerns whatsoever about the sensor falling off, incurring damage or getting lost. Like another reviewer said, keep it as far down on the laces as possible and make sure its velcroed on tightly for most accurate results.

(As a side note to this, even calibrated, my sport kit has never been 100% accurate, and this is just the nature of the device. It measures impact, so if your stride changes a little, or the sensor’s not on tight, your sport kit might be a little off. Mine is always very close, which is as much as I think you can ask for.)

The only negative about the sensor case is that, when left on the shoe, it does make it just a wee bit harder to tighten the bottom laces, which is important for both running comfort and accurate metrics. I can’t take any stars off for that, however. It’s only a little extra effort to work the laces with the case on, and it’s easy enough to take off, if needed. Overall, the reward of using the sport kit with my Kayanos is more than worth it!

5 Stars Super product!
I can wear my Nike+ Sensor in all my different running shoes. Easily changes from one pair to the next, so I can keep track of all my training runs. Calibration is exactly the same as in the Nikes.
