So you've heard about the Wiimotes smashing an expensive TV set, walls or even people. Then a flood gate of cases and rubber silicon gloves were being sold. Well, Elecom has taken it a step further to ensure that your wet slipper butterfinger hands doesnt let go of that remote. They have added a strap to the back of the cover to ensure that the Wiimote does not fall and slip out.

Clicking on the link below will also show you three other covers that they will be releasing. One is a cover but instead of a strap, it has grooves for better gripping. Another cover features an opening for the battery compartment. This is great for easy access to batteries rather than having to remove or lift the cover. This may also be helpful for those rechargeable battery packs with special battery door covers.

No price has been announced or a way to order but they will be available in three different colors: Clear, Black and Blue.

I dont like it at all. I had my wii since release and I have'nt once hit anything with the wiimote.

Theres nothing wrong with the idea but it looks like this wont really change anything. By the looks of the pics, they dont look secure enough.

ppls just don't get it...

It gives nothing to smash like Nadal when playing wii sport. There should be an advise before playing saying that well.. don't play stupidly please.. tank you!

thats not necessary at all.
its just that people dont know how to use the controller correctly.

Thats excactly how I feel. Its not nessesary if you know how to use the wiimote.

I agree, the extra handle grip seems a bit of a rubbish idea.
I do however like the idea of the silicon case with the space for the battery cover to be removed. I hate having to slide my case off all the time to replace batteries!
