Hello James, Your first question has already been answered.
As for the pouch that comes with the booksense, I like it as it protects the unit when you are carrying it and not using it. If you were to use it, you would have to remove it from the pouch which can then be stored in your pocket while you are using the unit. It comes with a couple of lanyards which allow you to wear the unit around your neck. That's great for exercising Hope this helps.
