I was very excited to get a silicone sleeve for my Wii Fit balance board with cold weather coming and wanting to be able to wear socks without slipping. I have tried it with bare feet and with socks, and it makes no difference. It has a number of places underneath the board to attach it (which one would think should hold it in place). Unfortunately, the sleeve slides all over the board, particularly during activities that involve moving on the board such as the hula hoop, for example. The only advantage is in certain yoga positions, it allows you to grip it with your bare feet a little better. I wish I hadn't invested the money in this item.
I got this for a friend of mine whom we play and battle on the Wii Fit games and weight loss activities. I noticed that after awhile that the mat tends to look unsanitary and i wanted to do something that would make all 10 of us feel better while playing this game and sometimes using our hands. Everyone loves it and it gives the board more pizaz if I can use that one ^_^
I bought one in pink from a store for the same price and, although it fit perfectly, it bunches under my feet when they slide on the balance board (as when Hoola-hooping). If you want to keep your balance board clean, just wipe it down periodically with a damp paper towel, and use a can of compressed air to get the dust and particles out of the crevices.
This skin fits the wii board snug and goes on easy, however it tears just by pulling it out of the original box, where I use to transport back and forth on the weekends. I would like to see a skin that does not tear so easy.
When I received it I don't see how someone could tear it so easy. I didn't have any problem putting this sleeve on my Wii Fit Balance Board. I didn't know at first after reading some reviews that it was very strong. I have used mine everyday for 35 days now and it works great. Keeps the board nice and clean.
