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!

This cover was easy to apply and seems to fit nicely. The straps that go over the feet are open, so the foot extensions necessary for carpet are not a problem. My only complaint is that the grippy foot bumps are not on the cover I received. They are pictured in the last picture of the product description, but in fairness, are not part of the written description. Anyway, the product seems durable.

I do like having a cover for our wii fit board, but was a tad disappointed it does not have the foot non skid spikes like shown in the 3rd picture. It is completely smooth. Good to keep our wii fit clean from dirty feet.

I received this item after hating how the hard footboard for the Wii Fit tore the soles of my feet up. I would give this 5 stars, however the plugs that are supposed to fit inside the bottom of the board did not say put and kept popping out. I remedied this by taping it to the bottom of the board. Overall, it was an excellent purchase and keeps my Wii Fit nice and clean and no more sore feet! A+!

I was nervous to buy a cover at all, but I was starting to freak out about the dirty footprints on my board. This one had good reviews so I got it. It has worked great! I got it on with no problem and it rarely slips at all. The tabs that secure it in place were all perfectly spaced and the cutout for the power button is nice too. It is nice and thick and I like the textured foot spots. They help keep your feet in position and also massage your feet! The color is really great. I love the cover!

This product was diffinitely not what I ordered and I'm not happy with it. Kind of a bait and switch scheme. It's light green, thin and does'nt have the nubs on top or the nubs on the bottom of the feet to hold it in place. I should not have to pay to ship it back because they didn't send the right product. I'd like to know how Amazon is going to make this right since they advertise for this seller. I would not recomend this product to other buyers and say buyer beware.

Placed on my Wii yesterday and used today. It is OK but as in other reviews, did not come with the "nubbies" for your feet. Color is pale. Material thin. Maybe it has to be for the board to work properly. only has 2 inserts on front and back of the board to keep sleeve in place, not around the legs as shown on the website. You get what you pay for....as the saying goes.

This product has stood up well for a few weeks now. I prefer this over the special socks they sell for the Wii Fit. The cover fits well although two of the four plugs that are supposed to fit into holes in the bottom of the Wii Fit don't actually stay in place. This has no effect on the cover staying in place, so the product still does it's job very well. I would purchase this again.
