I have had this cover since April, and took the entire Wii to a cabin trip in MN where all my stepkids and nieces & nephews pounded on it for hours. It withstood heavy use by kids between 5 and 17 brilliantly!
It was easy to put on (I was worried because of some of the reviews I’d read!). I can imagine that, if one didn’t read the instructions, one might try to put the sleeve on after putting the carpet feet on, and that might present a bit of a challenge. However, I had zero complications, and feel this product is just fantastic.

This has been great so far! It went on the balance board really easy and fits snugly. Keeps the balance board clean. I also use the board with bare feet and this is a great non-slip cover. It’s also very convenient because it doesn’t cover the battery pack, so it’s still easy to change out the batteries and sync to a different Wii if you need to.

I shopped around for several different covers and styles for the wii fit balance board, and this one takes the cake. I don’t feel like it changes the “feel” of the games like the bumpy/textured ones do, and it definitely feels stronger and more secure than other silicone sleeves out there (we checked out at least five similar-looking ones in the stores). It hasn’t affected sensitivity at all, and best of all keeps the board clean and dust free (we live in a carpeted house).
The silicone is comfortable to sit on, and is especially useful for the strength exercises that involve putting your hands/ankles/elbows on the board. It is much more comfortable having the silicone cover there. The only downside is that it does slip a bit when you lean on it at an extreme angle, but this is rare (even in the warrior pose) and it is not enough to make me worried about slippage or rippage.
As for durability and fit, I was fairly careful when putting it on, and haven’t had any need to remove it since then. It has “pegs” that fit into the holes in the bottom of the board, creating a snug and secure fit. While I have heard other reviewers talk about it ripping, I have used it quite vigorously, and my 200-lb husband also does all the exercises on it. I will update this review if anything does happen, but right now it’s hard to imagine how mine would rip at all. I hope this helps!

After seeing some of the reviews, I was afraid that this product might be flimsy, but I ordered it anyway as the price made it worth a try compared to some of the other covers. When I first took it out of the package, it did indeed look like it might be flimsy, but I took my time placing it on my balance board – and it was not hard to install at all! I use my Wii Fit for at least 30 minutes every day and have not had any problems with the cover at all. It stays firmly in place and even provides a little cushion and extra “grippage” as I work through yoga, strength exercises, aerobics, and balance games. I usually workout in my bare feet (I’m the only one using the board), but have worn sneakers a few times without any ill effect to the cover other than scuff marks, which clean up easily. The color is paler and more translucent than it appears in the photo – and I am very pleased with the way it looks. The most important thing is that it does a great job of protecting and preserving the balance board.
