The sleek, good looking design attracted me to this product, but unfortunately it lasted all of about a mile and the top piece (along with my Nike plus transmitter) was gone. I guess I should have put some tape around it to be sure, but I figured it was designed for running and didn't expect it to break open so easily! Now I'm out $30 for a new Nike plus :( Don't let it happen to you!

I own LaceLids but they are not interchangeable and I thought this item would be great for changing shoes (a girl's gotta have options, right?!?) While it's a great concept, I did use it once and felt that it wasn't sturdy... noisy clattering coming from my shoe made me nervous that it was going to fall off. I read one comment that it fell off during a trail run, and while my runs are usually confined to the treadmill at a local gym, I do 10k runs monthly... so I am concerned. I think I'll stick with my LaceLids and just buy them in bulk... They are very secure.

I now have about 300 miles on the Switcheasy RunAway and it has been flawless. Its best features:
1. Easy to take on and off shoes in an instant. Just pull and turn to unclip from your laces. Yet it's quite secure as it locks on.
2. It has an easy access button so that you can turn your sensor OFF when not in use to save its battery. The marware doesn't do this.
3. comes in many crystal colors to match your shoes (perhaps not really important)
4. the newer 'crystal' version is a slight redesign which is more secure, rugged and easier.
5. comes with a cap for the ipod adapter, that fits snugly in the RunAway for easy storage of the whole nike+ipod gadget.

I tried running with the sensor under the footbed, but that didn't really work, and I'm not a Nike shoe guy. So, this clips easily on to my Saucony and Brooks running shoes. Yeah!

Update:
6. I now have 900 miles on her and it's still a rock solid holder. No problems. Not flimsy
7. The clip also works fine on the strap of my Vibram Five Fingers KSOs. So, another benefit as some holders require shoe laces.

I'm not a big fan of Nike running shoes, but I like running with Nike+ on my iPod. I needed a way to keep the sensor on my shoes, and tucking it into the laces just wasn't cutting it. It's not only convenient for that, but it has storage for the plug when you're not using it....

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.

Very easy to put on and take off of shoes. Locks so you don't have to worry about it falling off.

This is a great solution for your Nike+ipod sensor. It easily clips on/off your laces. It is attractive looking too. I can't say enough good things about this clip case. I've had NO trouble with the case falling off or coming unattached.

i've been using this product for over a month and it's been working great so far. it isn't very bulky and there was no shipping cost, so it was a great deal.

If you do not have and/or plan to buy a pair of the NIKE shoes, that has the little compartment in the sole for the ipod sensor. This would be your perfect device. However, be sure to tie this device to the bottom of the shoe lace right at the bridge. If you tie it any higher, it will dangle around causing inacurate reading. So at this price, it could save you 40$ and up.

its good that i can use it with any shoes and not have to buy the nike+ shoes .. works really well!! love it
