Wii Transport?

Dubb's Wii · 11-27-2007, 04:04 PM

if you don't mind spending more on a case, I use Pelican cases for work with all my film equipment and editing gear and they work better than any other. The only problem is buying a Pelican for a Wii and lots of accessories will cost you a pretty penny...Well, ok, maybe $150 bucks or more. They are the best cases and have great foam inside, again, just very expensive.

Here are a few pics of some of Pelicans' cases .... (you cut your own foam inserts) so the pics are just examples...

You can find them at any high-end camera store or film camera rental house sometimes or check online at b&h, samys cameras or birns and sawyers.

Here's a pic of my completed case...it's a little bigger than I anticipated, but I got the case for free to modify. The hardest thing to do was trying to slice the foam precisely to make it even! Some of the bottoms are a bit sloped but it all fits correctly. You can't tell, but there are 3 games stacked there, so there's room if I get more wiimotes/nunchucks.

What do you guys think?

Thats definitely a cool case! I would like something like that, but I think I'll stick to buying games first before I spend money on a case. Its a great idea though. I wonder if you could get one large enough to hold 4 controllers.

Hey all,

These work pretty well. They may be hard to find, but they are worth the effort!

Thanks,

Matt!

The Plastic Bag Fits My Budget

Actually I just chunk mine in a duffle bag.

If I need cushion, I've always got some clothes I'm not wearing.

I found similar containers to the one I used at The Container Store...they're not that pricey, about $15-30 a good sized one. It may seem like a lot, but when you consider the price of the pro gamer's box and the fact that everything fits in rather tight, these containers will give you the chance to get everything right the first time...

Compass, we have all the same stuff! I rep'd you!

I don't get my Wii until Christmas, but I plan on using a laptop bag I got a Goodwill and should hold everything with my zapper. It's an old laptop bag so it's larger than normal, but nice looking.

I was thinking of buying an embroidered patch on ebay with the Wii logo to iron on my bag.

I tried a few laptop bags as well - the thing that always bothered me was when I made the foam 'surrounds' for the components, I'd have to take out the whole thing in order to fit it in the bag...in other words I couldn't just keep the foam in and lay the components in their spots. If the bag opened up all the way on one side instead of a slit, I'd be able to access everything like a soft case version of what I got now...but they work just as well!
