This is an Omnipod accessory that I feel everyone should have. The white guard fit my Omnipod 5 perfectly. I placed the Omnipod into the guard before applying it to my body as instructed. It helped me attach the pod without touching and messing up the pods adhesive. The included over patch (2) included is lightweight and sticks well. Patch did not irritate my skin and came off easily. I prefer the look of the decorative printed ones better. I had generic overpatches that I bought at Amazon for as little as 40¢ each in packages of 25. I did see some of the lightweight white ones on Amazon for 17¢ each. They both fit the same. If you have bumped or dragged clothes over your Omnipod and dislodged the cannula as I have you will appreciate this guard. I wish I had seen it long ago.

I usually wear my Omnipod 5 unit on my waist right about my belt-line. The pod has a tendency to get snagged on my pants or jacket and this little soft plastic "bumper" gives just enough protection to avoid that. I use a second sticky patch over it and the pod and the only issue is that then it is hard to remove without some help. (I use a liquid adhesive solvent to soften the over-patch and then it comes right off. ) These pods are too important (to a diabetic) and too expensive to risk having one get pulled off before its time.

This product has been a game changer! It has worked for both my OmniPod Dash and OmniPod 5 pods. It helps keep the pod’s adhesive from folding during placement, as well as making the pod easier to grip when placing. It does require slightly larger pod covers however, but I use the Nuanchu waterproof OmniPod adhesive patches and it works great (I just have to cut off the small center strip of the patch for a better fit). Overall, helps so much with pod longevity! Accidental bumps are much less likely to dislodge the cannula, and if I end up needing to replace an adhesive patch before the pod is ready to be changed, I can just remove the adhesive with the grip and save the pod.

I really wanted this to work, and technically it does, but it is poorly made. The cover itself is too rigid so it doesn’t lay flat against the skin once it’s put on the pump. It also left sores and irritation, as well as being impossible to clean as now it is stained. The included overpatches are not strong enough to hold this cover over the pump very well. I’m pretty sure the current pump is halfway ripped off because of the rigidness of this cover and ineffectiveness of the overpatches.
