Customer Review: Simple and effective
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a simple and effective alternative to having to buy a Nike+ shoe. It does keep the sensor securely in place as recommended for accuracy in your distance. I ran about a year with one before the top came off, losing the transmitter. I believe the part that locks it in place can't take long term stress.
I recommend checking it periodically for signs of stress.
If you want a pouch type, make sure it keeps it secure with no extra movement. This is required for maximum accuracy.
Customer Review: It works....BUT
Summary: 3 Stars
I actually owned this for over a year. No problems except I went for a trail run last week, and poof it's gone. My guess is that because it's made with a plastic swivel to lock the clip around the shoelace. Must of worn down and gotten loose....I just replaced the sensor too, because the old one ran out. I think it's time to try the velcro oneCustomer 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.
Customer Review: So sad
Summary: 2 Stars
After having my SwitchEasy RunAway for a few months, I did a fun run with a girlfriend. We walked it, and it was on the street. When I got home, I noticed my sensor was gone. It was the tamest activity I have ever done with this set up. The connection between the two swivel peices is not strong enough, or has some sort of design flaw. Don't buy it.Customer Review: 10 Runs and its gone
Summary: 1 Stars
This product is good and BADDDDDDD.
Its simple to use, u can 'show off' with the nike sensor sticking out in clear view. And it has a nifty "On/Off Switch" to Save power.
BUT WHO NEEDS THE ON OFF SWITCH???
WHEN after 10 runs with my new sensor,
I walk over to buy dinner.
AND POOP the whole thing disappears.
I lost both the COVER and the NIKE SENSOR after 10 RUNS.
If you use this product, Always check that the item is there...
That ALL i can say about it.
