Who's Got A Carrying Case?

+Maniacal=Maniac+ · 01-03-2007, 03:13 AM

My Mom Just Got Me A Sling Bag For The Wii!

It Works Really Well Too... I Used To Wrap The Wii In A Towel So I Could Take It To My Friends Houses...

The Bag Can Hold The Wii (go figure), Remotes(duh), And Nunchucks (Duh again).

Does Anyone Else Have Some Type Of Carrying Case?

I've got one, the strap to hold goes across your chest iots small but its perfect for when you go on holidays it can fit all the cables, stand, 3 games, 2 wii motes and nunchucks(3 if you really stuff it in), sensor bar and of course the console itself. and it doesn't affect the wii if its in the sun it stays quite cool inside the bag (padded)

The official Wii bag is really small and i find it hard to fit the console stand all the cables 2wii remotes and 2nunchuck in it

I bought this bag to carry my Wii in. It's great. Small, compact, and fits all my remotes, adapters, sensor bar, etc.! I would recommend this over the sling bag, because it has a little more room!

Where did you get the case? I was looking for one.

Actually found that one at Staples. They had a whole shipment in of all Wii accessories so I got to pick through it. I checked out the sling bag, but I just didn't like it as good. All about preference!

the place i got my wii from had one free with pre-order, but they only had 20 and there were 60 people lined up at launch

Of course! I travel a lot so it's a nice way to make sure the Wii doesn't get damaged.

yeah i have this one too. it is called "the messenger" style bag. if i remember right it is the same price as the sling but has much more room in it. i dont carry my wii around too often but ive used it twice since i got it. i love it. i got mine at circuit city. 30 dollars if i remember right.

Nah I used it once when i went travelling for chrissy

The following pertains to people who will be carrying their Wii around often in busy public places, or who are going to be leaving it in a car for example.

I know that everyone wants to show off the fact that they own a Wii by getting an official bag with the name clearly written on the side, but this could attract some unwanted attention. By that I mean it could attract thieves. Consider a generic bag that will fit all your Wii gear and more. You won't be the cool guy on the block, but don't say I didn't tell you so if somebody snags your Wii bag when you put it down for a second.

yep this is true that is why i have already thought about covering the wii logo on it. and when it is in my car i keep it in the trunk and flipped over to hide that it says wii. but you are for sure right.

Good point, but that's also the reason it travels in the trunk of my car and when not traveling in the trunk never leaves my sight, in an untrusted place! No need in covering the Wii logo on the bag. Kinda defeats the purpose!

When I bought it I didn't know there were official Nintendo ones however I am glad that mine doesn't have the Wii logo on the front due to the reasons mentioned by RyanD.

And yes. It is quite good, I can fit the following things in comfortably.

The pocket at the front under the flap - Manuals, Wii Stand Stabiliser
Front compartment - Wii console
Rear compartment - Wii Stand (along the bottom), Power cord (on top of Wii stand), Component cable (on top of Power cord), Composite cable (on top of component cable, 2 Wiimotes (beside power cord, on top of Wii stand), 2 Nunchuks (on top of Wiimotes)
Detachable case on top of rear compartment - Sensor bar, Sensor bar stand, Wiimote batteries

I have to take the batteries out of the Wiimotes becuase if I don't the buttons get pressed therefore wasting the batteries. Everything is also very snug, nothing bounces around inside.

I bought it for $AU25 at EB Games at Westfield Carindale in Brisbane, Australia.

PS. Can someone please clarify that the Official Nintendo Bag has the detatchable case on top of the rear compartment.

PPS. You have no idea how funny it was trying to tell my Grandma that I bought a 'Wii Bag' with her Christmas money!
