I know this is old, but perhaps the problem is that you didn't calibrate it for the new pouch?

Noooo! I just got the Marware pocket, & recommended it to a friend who is a major runner. I'm going to be so embarassed.

Ironically, the Marware holds the sensor the same way it would sit in a Nike shoe. I stuff the sensor into the Shoe Wallet sideways and it works better. Go figure...

I tried recalibrating when I had the Marware sensor holder, but it didn't register enough to work with the calibration. It just kept telling me that I had not walked/run far enough and rejected the calibration. I didn't have that trouble with the Shoe Wallet. Man, I walked about three miles trying to re-calibrate that thing...

That's when I got so frustrated that I decided to try the Shoe Wallet again. Now, it's back to its almost accurate self.

Other people on the Nike forums have mentioned increased inaccuracy with the Marware pouch as well, so it’s not just you. You’ve probably checked these out already, but if not: Does the Marware hold the sensor face up when the pouch is closed and on your foot? Also, have you tried recalibrating the sensor on a high school track when it’s in the Marware? My Shoe Pocket was off by 10% until I calibrated on a track – now it’s only off by 1%. I wonder if the same effect would hold for the Marware.
