" A cool device. " (Sam Mcwilliams )

5stars

This is a cool add on for my ipod. I have a nano 3rd generation and I can easily look at my screen while running and adjust volume or change the song. The best part of this is the Nike website keeps track of all your runs and makes graphs and helps you set your goals.

" Great item " (Elizandra Cruz )

I got this few months and it works great with my new nike shows. I ran few miles and I got to save it in my profile nice product!

" Great product! " (K. Castillo )

5stars

I've had this for over a year now and I love it! The online features you have access to are also great, such as joining challenges with other people. A friend of mine said that when the battery starts to run low, you will notice that it is not calibrated correctly (if you are running a know distance), but that's the only negative thing I have to say about it.

(Review Date : 2008-11-25 )

" Awesome " (C Nelson )

5stars

It's just great. It just is.

Heads up: don't use the pouch on the same foot every time if you have very lite shoes.

" Incredible Product " (Ramble Redhead )

5stars

If you are a runner so matter what level you are - you will love having this as a partner! It will help keep you motivated and will keep track of how you are doing! The best part of this is that when you sync it up with your Ipod it will send the info from your runs and upload the results to Nike+ site. The other thing I love about the Nike+ site is that you can create challenges to compete with friends, family and people all over the world to help keep you motivated as well!

$I haven't been able to try it yet because my ankles are healing from hairline fractures but now I have the proper shoes and gear ready and waiting. Very quick shipment! :)$ 5stars - "Quick shipping" (Christina Skarp)

This Nike+ sensor holder is the best made one I have found. I have a cloth one with velcro, a pouch one big enough to hold a credit card & a small silicone one as well. The cloth one, you have to completely unlace to change from one shoe to another. The silicone one is difficult to remove the sensor to change it out. And the large pouch is just too big & cumbersome & looks hideous; plus the sensor moves around in it which gives inaccurate data. The Marware Sportsuit easily attaches, (no unlacing)& it looks sporty. It is also very secure in its design. It won't move around & give inaccurate readings with the Nike+ info. The price is reasonable.

5stars - "Nike+ sensor holder" (Tammy Bennett)
Works well for what it's designed for. I ususally slip it under two sets of laces so it doesn't bounce around. I've used it outside and on the treadmill, there's no slippage & it has yet to fall off.

5stars - "Great product for non-Nike+ shoes" (A. Marshall)

With this product, anyone can use their existing iPod or iPhone with the Nike+ sensor without having to buy a Nike+ (read: "expensive") shoe. The product is designed to work with any shoe since it wraps around the shoe laces instead of in a special pocket in the sole of the shoe. The sensor is fits very snug in the pouch and the pouch is relatively stable when you are running, giving you a relatively accurate readout for your workout. Once you start using this product, I would highly recommend calibrating the sensor since the sensor is above your foot (and at a slight angle) instead of below your foot (as it usually is). This positioning might make the reader less accurate, but I'm not sure. You should definitely calibrate it either way if you are a hard core runner, since calibrating it will make it calculate your distance correctly based on your stride. See the Nike+ sensor product manual to find out how to calibrate it to fit you.

I love the Shoe Pouch. I put it on my shoe and I ran some long distant runs. You don't even notice it. I love that it can hold my Ipod senor and I don't even notice it. I like that the pouch is offered in so many colors. I bought mine to match my shoes. I recommend this to anyone who does not wear Nike Shoes.

5stars - "What a great idea!" (IMMAC525)

Okay so i bought this for my half marathon training, after by the nike + product and was not going to fork another $150 for trainers after buying some new ones less then 1month prior. I was scepticle about the product as other shoe pouches i had read about on the internet. So i took a leap of faith and forked the cheap price out. When it arrived i slapped my footpod in the pouch and ran a distance i knew exactly as i had ran it hundreds of times. after finishing my session the foot pod was safely nestled in the pouch which is great. and the distanct was out by less the 2% which i can just about handle for the price.

great product shows that cheap can be cheerful =D

would recommend for short distance runners as the 2% lose isnt as bad until you get up in to higher numbers

4stars - "Scepticle at first but was enlightened." (James R. Perkins)
Fantastic Product. I purchased the Nike+ without owning the correct Nike shoes so i purchased this pouch. It works perfectly and is 100% accurate.

So, I see no point in buying special Nike sneakers so I can use my sensor. The Tune Belt Sensor Pouch is the perfect item to hold my sensor. Plus it saved me a ton of money!!! I've had it for the past couple months and it works great!!! I highly recommend it. The velcro is super strong and since it's on your sneakers theres no lint on it.

I bought this for my dad, and it holds the sensor and fits the shoe perfectly! My boyfriend uses a hard plastic case (bought it before these came out), and the silicone pouch is much better - his case rattles around when he runs and doesn't seem very durable.

5stars - "much better than the hard plastic sensor shells" (megan)

The silicone skin pouch is perfect if you don't wear nike+ shoes, and it is very inexpensive. You just insert the sensor through the little slot in the back, lace your shoe laces through it and it holds the sensor firmly in place. I don't worry about it falling out or getting wet, and my ipod receiver easily picks up the signal. I got the lilac color, which looks great, but there is a whole range of colors to choose from. It takes a couple of minutes to attach, so if you rotate shoes it would be easier to just get 2 so you don't have to relace the shoe each time.

5stars - "works great, looks great" (pb76)
Great product. Once sensor was calibrated was very accurate despite being on the top of the shoe instead on in the sole as in Nike shoes.

I already own one pouch, this time I bought it for my dad. It works fine, sits very stable on the shoes, easy to install and water resistant. Simple, but still you have the choice of colors. Probably the best option if you don't have the proper Nike+ shoes.

This works well, it stays in place on your shoe, doesn't bother my foot and hold onto the nike+ thing without fear of it falling out. The only thing is it's really hard to get that thing in and out. I put it in upside down the first time and had a heck of time getting it back out.
But it's a good product I'm glad I got it

Haven't had any issues with this little pouch. I don't run in the rain, so it's not a problem for me keeping it dry and protecting my sensor. It's also unobtrusive, and looks pretty well on my shoes. I wear it towards the toe, and have had no problems with my iPod picking up the sensor's signal.

This product has been great for me and my husband. We can share the Nike+iPod between our iPods and shoes!

5stars - "Great way to use Nike+iPod without having Nike Shoes!" (Mary Rebekah Stitt)

I purchased the Mivizu Nike+iPod sensor pouch so that I could avoid having to buy some lousy pair of $100+ Nikes in which to bury the Nike+ sensor. The item was exactly as promised and arrived quickly. I would say based on the price and the quality this is an excellent buy. Probably one of my top ten purchases ever - value-wise - on Amazon.

The only two caveats:

1) Buy more than one. They are super inexpensive and if you are like me, you have more than one pair of running/workout shoes. It's worth adding a couple more to your cart now rather than finding out how convenient and great it is and having to put in a whole separate order. And once it's on, you are definitely not going to go through the hassle of unlacing everything just to transfer to another shoe. "Set it and forget it" to quote some cheesy late night infomercial that escapes me.

2) If you have already been using your sensor, you will want to recalibrate your stride/pace with the Mivizu set up. The reading will be different and the data will be off if you don't. That's simple enough and will make life easier in the long run.

In short, great product, great price, good shipping options and highly recommended.

5stars - "Love this!" (VLH)

I purchased this product a while ago- directly from their website. It was easy to install, maybe a little too easy. I had it on for maybe a month before I went for a run on a local trail. After finishing my run I noticed my shoe looked different- the adapter had unclipped and my sensor was gone! It is way too easy for this thing to fall off.

A better (and cheaper alternative): Cut the tongue of your shoe, insert the sensor, then sow it back up. Costs nothing, and you'll never lose your sensor.

1stars - "Great product (if you don't really need the sensor)..." (Matthew)

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)

Tune Belt armband has worked great. I have about 15 inch arms and it fits perfectly. I use it with the Nike Plus sensor and have never had a problem. My only issue would be that the wheel is very difficult to operate through the plastic. Outside of that, it is perfect.

It uses good quality material, I like the overall design and it seems durable. but there one big design problem: the ipod get stuck after i put it inside the armband pocket. It's extremely hard to get it out after. It seems the plastic cover adheres to the ipod screen, and it is very difficult to remove it. I haven't use the case fot the nike+ipod sensor yet.

3stars - "ipod get stuck inside the belt pocket" (Aleph Enterprises Inc.)

I bought this and it works great for me. The armband stays in one place while running or weight lifting. The Nike+ sensor case on the shoe stays in place and doesn't flop around.

Only thing I didn't like is that it is really hard to remove the ipod from the case due to the plastic sticking to the screen. Also if you have large arms this probably won't fit if you have it on your bicep. But for my smaller arms it works great.

4stars - "Great product" (Tyler S. Erdmann)

My husband and I each have one of these and I'm not too crazy about it. The plastic sticks to the screen so much that it's nearly impossible to get the iPod out. So, if you're just going to leave your iPod in this, I recommend to put it in the sleeve with the bottom of the iPod facing the pocket opening so that you can sync and charge it without having to attempt removing it. You can control the iPod through the plastic, but it is not super-sensitive like you'd like it to be.

The little velcro pocket for the nike + ipod sensor is nice. What would be nicer would be if there was a pocket or elastic band on the little thing for storing the receiver that plugs into the iPod.

Finally, I fell like I work up a 'normal' amount of sweat when working out. This armband becomes saturated and there is no moisture barrier to protect the iPod.

So, what are the 'pros' of this, if there are so many 'cons'? It fits nicely, it is comfortable, it has a pocket behind the main pocket where you can put a key, ID, a couple of bucks, it was reasonably priced and seems durable.

Bottom line, there is probably a better sports armband out there, but after looking on Amazon for a few days and reading all the other reviews, it may not exist.

I have the Sport package. It comes with a Receiver, and a Chip you stick in your shoe. With any iPod
you bought from 2009+ you do not need the receiver. You only need the chip (and a holder for it, if you don't have the special Nike+ shoes).
The watch-Remote is the same deal. You don't need the receiver if your iPod is 2009+.
I bought this because I wanted everything to be Nike+. I thought it was better and would link together more cleanly if everything was all the same name brand.
I was wrong.
The Chip synced up nicely in just a few seconds, and I had my Workouts going just fine.
The Watch-Remote is another story.
With the Receiver, without the Receiver, makes no difference. It's not linking up to the iPod Touch.
If you do a search for a few minutes on line about "Nike iPod Watch Remote", or look at the iPod, or Nike+ Forums, you will see a tidal wave of bad reviews, and syncing issues. There are several suggestions, but none worked for me, nor about 70% of the people who had the same issue.
Solutions Include:
--Resetting the ipod
--Updating the iPod
--Putting a new battery in the remote
--Linking/unlinking turning remote commands on/off
--Trying to sync the remote and iPod with Receiver Plugged in (the first time).
--Pressing the PLAY button on the Remote, Before trying to Sync.
According to Tech support: "Replace the battery. The watch function and the light display will continue to function on Low Battery; the remote control function is typically the first function to suffer when battery power is diminishing."
This worked. The battery needed is CR1632. Buy three when you buy your watch. You'll need them.

The left button that controls the Pace, Distance, etc. Announcement, is the Power Song button. You have to press and hold for 3 seconds.
The delay for almost all the buttons is less then .5 seconds.
When pausing and restarting the Workout, it Speaks "pausing Workout" and turns the volume down before stopping. It's not instant.
This remote ONLY WORKS when you are running. I tried tricking it. I moved my shoe around and started the workout. After the shoe didn't move for 2 minutes, the remote stopped controlling the iPod.
Remember this, if you hit a long RED-Light while running.
This remote ONLY WORKS if you are using the Nike+ Workout. It will not control your music if the workout is not running.

I also notice a lot of people giving 5 star reviews for the watch with statements like: "I love it. It's my 3rd one this year. I can't live without it." , "Its great, when it works.", "High Quality, but the battery dies after 2 uses." etc. etc.
5 Stars is supposed to be for something that is perfect, not something with so many obvious flaws.
The buttons are easy to find, but hard to press, there is a lot of resistance. I guess they didn't want you accidentally hitting the buttons.

The watch is almost useless.
Yeah, it looks cool, but you can't just glance at it, and know the time. You have to press the Right button and it will scroll the time with it's LEDs. Tough to read in bright light.
A much better suggestion for controlling your iPod with a Watch Remote is the Timex Unisex Blue Ironman Sleek iControl Resin Strap Watch #T5K049 You can control the music at any time, and it reads as a watch. Snowboarding is good. You can use it with your gloves on.

2stars - "Great Looking Wristband" (Brian Dowrick)

What can I say, it just works. After looking for a Nike+ remote locally and finding nothing, I purchased this one and it works better than I could have imagined. Go to the next song, push a button. Go back a song, push a button. Adjust the volume up, push a button, down; push a button.

I used to fumble with my encased Nano and end up doing something that I didn't want to happen and with this it's a breeze! I can concentrate on relaxing and my pace rather than dinking around with the volume and skipping a song.

Does it tell time? Yes. Is it 'unique how it does that? Yes. Does it matter to me? No! I don't watch my watch when I'm running, I watch the road!

It's perfect for me and what I wanted.

5stars - "Watchremote..." (R. Smith)

it worked for a couple of runs after the initial link to my Nike+ receiver on my iPod Nano 3G . Then I could not get it to control the Nike+ interface anymore. after working w/ Nike tech support I had to send it back. Now I am sending the 2nd one back. Don't waste your money or time. it's too bad, this should be a simple thing to program and should work every time. it is extremely frustrating when it stops functioning just before a long run.

2stars - "Link problems" (Jeffrey Holder)

I use this with my iPhone 3GS which has support for Nike+

PROS:

>The buttons work to manage the volume, skip back or forward tracks of music, pause and end the workout, and to have the male or female voice read back your progress in the middle of the run. The left side button will also activate your "Power Song"

>The band fits well, is attractive and seems to be quite durable. It also appears to resist moisture and perspiration

CONS:

>While the LED watch is cleverly designed (it scrolls the time across the display), its really only readable in a very dark environment (like in a dark room or at night)

>If you have your iPhone in your pocket while you run, anytime you make an adjustment with the remote, the screen powers on and the onscreen controls become active. This is a problem because as the phone is bouncing about in your pocket, your leg may inadvertently activate any of these controls. The fix for this is to put it in an armband or other case you can attach to the waistband of your pants or shorts

>The device was crippled so it can ONLY be used if you are using the Nike+ application and you are on a workout and your shoe sensor is active (ie. your feet are moving). It CANNOT be used to control the ipod of your iPhone otherwise.

>One little bug (fixable I'm sure) - when you end your workout with the remote, the "voice" is supposed to read you a summary of your workout - unfortunately, it cuts off after just a few words. When you end your workout by tapping on the iPhone screen instead, you get the whole synopsis.

SUMMARY:

For me it's worth the money because it's too cumbersome (and dangerous) to manage your music and your run on the iPhone screen.

The remote functions work well overall - but you'll have to invest in a case for the iPhone to keep it away from any contact with your body to avoid inadvertent control activations on the screen.

Don't plan on using it as a watch (or as an ipod remote outside of the Nike+ application).

TIP: turn off the "Shake to shuffle" function on your iPhone or you may inadvertently shuffle your songs while you run

This is exactly what we were looking for. Controls the Nike+ perfectly. Very happy with this product.

My wife has used this for a year and a half or so and enjoys it. We do notice that if she is really sweating a lot moisture collects inside and we need to take the iPod out when we get home to allow everything to breahe and dry out.

4stars - "My wife likes it" (A. KING)
Item is as advertised, it fits snugly on small woman's upper arm and/or wrist. Would be big enough for man's upper arm as well. Had to cut a hole in the plastic to work the Ipod Nano wheel. Once done, the plastic is not sharp edged.

4stars - "good item" (M. Rose)

I had another type of arm band previously, but the problem with it was the velcro closure simply fell apart over time. Plus, since I use my IPOD Nano in the gym, it was getting too much moisture on it, causing failure of the stereo headphones. With this new armband, the IPOD is completely covered with just a small hole in the base where the output is. So, it's no longer prone to moisture. Plus, the armband can be as snug as I want, and the fabric is really cushy; very comfortable to wear all the time. I've only had it for about 3 months, but so far, it's exceeded my expectations.

5stars - "Sport arm band for IPOD" (Barbara Hailey)
After going through several other armbands, this is the best one if you run with the Nike + attachment. I also really like that there is a place to wrap your extra wire around.

5stars - "great for running" (Nicole L. Diglio)

This is one of the only armbands I can find for this model of ipod and it's a bit of a disappointment. The space for the ipod is too large so the ipod slips around a lot while in use. If you're a heavy sweater/hardcore workout junkie, the compartment collects a lot of condensation from the sweat which then makes it difficult or impossible to use the click wheel. Given that it's the only product I could find, I suppose it serves it's purpose, but the design could certainly be improved to make it more waterproof with a snugger fit for the ipod. The velcro is awesome and it's comfortable to wear otherwise.
