Nintendo Wii Remote Jacket

The nintendo wii remote cover is now supplied free of charge with the wii remotes after several people had issues with the remotes flying out of their hands whilst playing games and breaking TV's, windows etc. However, if you have an older wii or controller then you most likely have not been supplied with one of these and if they are being used by children especially I would highly recommend buying one. The cover or jacket is made from silicone and is very thick at the top of the cover to protect the top the remote and also the infra red light source. Due to the fact that it is very sturdy it can be fun to get this on and off when you need to. ...  Read the complete review

Absolutely essential for playing the Wii (and not just for those of us who play it while tipsy on Friday nights), the Wii Remote Jacket is 100% necessary and the ideal solution to the severe case of 'hot gamer hands' that always ensues after more than a few minutes of bouncing around your sitting room. Made of the wonder material silicone, this tightly fitting sleeve sits around the smooth, pearlescent plastic of your Wii Remote and fits it like a second skin. Silicone is a great material to use as it's heat resistant, easily wipes clean and has a fairly matte, tactile feel to hold.

I would be absolutely gutted if I smashed our beloved flat screen but fortunately I shouldn't have this problem.

If you purchased a Wii when they were first launched you may well be aware of the vast number of accidents in the home that happened through people accidentally letting go of the Wii Remote when playing with their console. However, from October 2007 all Wii Remotes sold (including those which came free with a Wii console) come with an adjustable wrist strap as well as a silicone remote jacket.

The Wii remote jacket was released by Nintendo after many accidents with Wii remotes smashing TVs while playing tennis or another game on the Wii! The jacket is silicone and was released to stop this problem and comes free with all Wii`s bought after October 2007 and I think if you bought your Wii before that you can claim one for free from a Nintendo website! One thing the jacket does to stop this problem is that it gives the remote extra grip so the Wii remote does not just fall out of your hand and break something. It achieves this very well as the jacket is very gripping so it does not fall out of your hand easily. Another good point about ...  Read the complete review
