I've been making my controllers all nasty. I've decided to get silicone skins, does anyone else have a better solution to this problem?

5.99 is as cheap as I have seen them. Circuit City has them on sale for 5.99 this week (if you don't want to buy them online).

Does anyone else think these skins are a pain in the arse? Changing batteries and sync'ing the Remote turns into a 5 minute task atleast... and I ripped the last skin I tried to put on...

Yeah, definitely obnoxious, but worth the effort. I know how slippery those controllers get when wet because I only have skins for my Wiimotes. Last night I spent 3 hours playing Raving Rabbits and my nunchuck kept slipping all over the place after awhile.

I need skins bad! I find myself having to wipe my palms on my jeans almost every ten seconds, especially when the gaming gets intense!

You could always cut a whole in the back of the skin were the battery comparment is, that way it would make it easier to change them.

We use silicon skins on our wiimotes and they work great! When I need to get the batteries out to recharge them I just curl the silicon back and pop the case open...
