 Works, but only for a rechargeable battery! |

| This Wii Remote glove works well as a glove -- it improves the grip on the remote -- but only get it if your remote has rechargeable batteries of the type such that you put the whole remote into a charging cradle. That's because it's nearly impossible to replace AA batteries with this thing on, and it's a pain to take off and put back on. It has a hole in the back that works with the kind of recharging cradle where the remote leans against the electrodes. It doesn't have a hole to support the kind of charger where you plug a USB cable in the back. |
Pretty cool!

I wanted to get a cover for my Wii controllers, since they seem to take more of a beating than the average sit-there-completely-prone video game controllers, and I've always loved glow in the dark stuff, so this seemed like a dream come true.
The color is nice in the light and, in the dark, it gives a glow that is noticeable but not at all distracting. So, it protects and it looks cool.
Two minor downsides - the wrist strap is colored the same way as the actual covers but does NOT glow. And these aren't faceplates or anything, it's more like a rubbery form-fitting substance that stretches over the controllers, which is a bit difficult to get on the first time, and also has to be wrangled halfway off to change the batteries in the wiimote. But, those are just minor quibbles. |
My favorite wii remote!

| I love this remote for my wii cause you can always find it around in a bed room. The also enjoy the feel and the color seems poop green but really is more of a neon green. All i'm saying is the picture doesn't do justice and i would hope others with loves in glow in the dark and wii will enjoy this product like i have! |
Fun cover!

The remote and nunchuck just feel more comfortable in my hands with the covers. We also enjoy the fact that we can find them when glowing. A slight modification is needed to use with the recharge stations, but it's not hard to do.
Now to get another color for our last remote. |
Cool skin

| Glow in the dark product is really a cool two tone look. Product is very durable given the battery pack changeouts that have to be done regularly. |
Fabulous!

| I purchased this product well over a month ago and I love it. It's definitely a better green color than the picture shows. It glows in the dark - so if you can think of any other green thing that glows in the dark, that's the color it is. The skins go on pretty easy. They are meant to be nice and snug - so you shouldn't expect them to go on super-duper fast, but it doesn't take long. The Wiimote feels really nice with this cover on. It's not bulky at all. I does cover the whole WiiMote - except for the spots cut out in the pictures - so you will need to roll it up to change batteries or re-sync it, but that is pretty easy. I prefer having a cover on my WiiMote and this one has worked great - and is fun at the same time because it glows in the dark. |
Waste of money... not functional

| I purchased this item based on a review that indicated this can be used with a charger..."there are cut outs in the back that allow the metal contacts from the remote to connect to the ones on the cradle". I guess I should have asked myself, "which type of charger?" I have a Nyko with slots for 2 remotes. This product DID NOT work or was not functional in conjunction with the Nyko charger. Although the skin is pretty tight on the remote, it was not thin or tight enough for the remote to sit snug in the cradle. In addition, it did not have the cut-outs in the right spots to secure the connection. I even made a precision cut on my own to see if it would work, and had the skin been thinner, it may have. But, needless to say, I had to end-up tossing in the garbage because it was useless. The whole reason I bought this product was so that I didn't have to remove the skin every time I needed to charge my remotes. DO NOT buy this product if you are thinking of using with a Nyko 2-remote charger... period. |

I think the product has been modified since the earlier reviews:
1) You get *two* sets for the named price. (Consider them disposable?)
2) The back is not textured.
These are indeed much less robust than the original ones that come with the remotes, and I don't know how many times they'll last being taken off each time the batteries need to be changed. There is a small cut out right above the battery compartment latch to accommodate recharger prongs - but who knows for which recharger? The wrist strap does not lock. The design is more stylish than the original. I don't regret buying it, but I don't know that I'd buy it again. Two stars for value, one star for quality, one star for style. |
Be carefule with these

Pink Wii Remote/Nunchuck Skins
|
| Review Date: February 1, 2010 |
| Reviewer: L. Latham, |
| The skins fit well and feel good in my hand(s). I was particularly glad to note that the Wii Motion Plus will fit and lock with the skin installed. I simply rolled the skin back a bit, installed the Motion Plus, and then let the skin settle back in place. Because it's pink, the boys won't touch! I can always use "MY" Wii remote! |
