I’ve added another Nike+iPod sensor accessory to my Shoe Hacks Round-up: The LaceLid. It’s a simple hard rubber “cap” which fits over the Nike+iPod sensor, and is attached to your shoe by running your laces through holes at the top and bottom. At $5, the LaceLid is one of the cheapest and simplest Nike+iPod shoe accessories, but there are a couple of things to consider: Because there’s only one lace hole on the top and bottom of the LaceLid, proper attachment does require you to lace your shoes differently than you may be used to. Also, the LaceLid is an open-topped cap rather than an enclosed case or pouch, so the sensor may not be completely protected from wet weather (though unless your feet are actually under water, it probably provides all the protection you’ll need). I haven’t actually used the LaceLid, so I’m not sure how well the sensor stays inside the little cap, but it looks like as long as your shoes are laced tight, it won’t be going anywhere. Overall, the LaceLid is another affordable and unique solution for Nike+iPod Sport Kit owners who don’t own Nike+ shoes.

I would be afraid of the rubber ripping in mid-run after some use. And then there goes your sensor down a sewer hole. =)
i purchased the lacelid and will let you know once i test it.
