Best place to put sensor when you don't have the shoes
I currently just put the sensor under my shoelaces. but it tends to slide out from under there. I also tried taking out the lining in the shoe, and putting it under there, but I got some skewed results on my graphs and such. Anyone else have a better place to put it? I've heard of some 3rd party pouches that you attach to the laces to hold the sensor, but I don't know how good those are.
I actually bought one of the Incipio sensor cases while I was picking up my GDGT iPhone case. It was a bit pricey for what you get (12.99 for 2 cases), but it works well and looks decent. You just feed your showlaces throught the case and it is nice and secure. Highly recommended if you don't mind the price.
I used one of these DLO pockets for my Asics, when I had them:

They work fine, though I suggest doing the calibration for both running and walking. The sensor is designed to work sitting perfectly horizontal in the footbed of the shoe, and sitting at a slight angle on the laces altered the calculated distance, in my experience.
(Though, of course, even perfectly calibrated in a Nike shoe, the sensor is not 100% accurate.)
