After countless days of frustration with my roommates and myself smudging dirty footprints on my new, pearly white balance board I shopped around for "the best" balance board cover I could find a review for. Many of the other silicon covers gave negative reviews about silicon covers stating that they didn't stay on the balance board and often slid or moved when you tried to work out. With hesitation I bought this one (being a good cheap to medium price and the color green) and I am very happy with it. The picture doesn't do it justice as it fails to show some of the cover's shining features. First of all there are loops which go around each of the legs of the board which prevent any chance that the grip could come off. Second, I enjoy the extra notches build around the edges of the silicon cover which fit into many of the screw holes of the balance board, further providing a snug fit and assurance of attachment. I have had little problems with the cover slipping across the board. Finally (besides the cool colors) the top of the mat has a comfortable foot-shaped grip which helps prevent slipping and is a great "foot reference" on how to properly stand on the mat (kinda like the plastic jutting out on your "f" and "j" keys on your computer keyboard to bring you back to the proper typing pose). If your looking for a good priced, cool colored, smudge barrier for your Wii Fit balance board...I recommend this one.

This "Nintendo Wii Fit Board Anti-Slip Food Pad Silicone Skin" is a nice buy. It slips on easily, looping around the feet as shown in the customer pictures, but the one I ordered did not include the "foot grips" also shown. It can bunch a little, but for the most part holds on to the balance board with no complaints from me.

Having heard some complaints about changes in weight from other skins, I took my weight both before and after adding the skin and there was no noticable change in weight.

It attracts dust and hair like crazy, but keeps my balance board clean and so does what I bought it to do. Worth the price I paid for it.

After being frustrated with having to constantly clean foot sweat and dirt off my Wii Fit Balance Board after every session--ick!--I started searching for a silicone cover. After reading how other styles were either unreliable (slippery, throwing off the measurements) or poorly made (tore easily), I hesitantly ordered this one.
I had no reason to worry. Not only is it the perfect shade of "Wii Fit green," it's snug and stable. The underside boasts loops that fit around the Balance Board feet and molded plugs that fit into the screw holes, ensuring it won't budge. The material is soft and grippy, making the exercises more comfortable, and repels dirt and hair really well.
Perhaps the best part are little massaging bumps shaped like footprints on top that can help you place your feet and really grip, a vast improvement over slipping while trying to balance on the sweaty plastic board!
