Speaking of Wii jackets, I just bought 2 (different colors) of these a few days ago:

The Nintendo ones are fine, but I like to be able to differentiate one controller from another.

Yeah I don't like the freebie Nintendo ones either. I like the thin and colorful silicone skins. I have 4 different colors for the remotes and nunchuks and it makes it really easy to tell them apart. Only downside is it's hard to slide them off in order to change the batteries.

Some people like the clear Nintendo ones though, and they're free.

From having them and using them, I agree. Sure it feels ok, but it looks ridiculous.

I prefer my thin colored skins, even if they're harder to get on and off.

the free ones are super soft, i used color remote face stickers to tell my remotes apart.

red, blue, orange, and gree. just like the hands on the wii pointers


the free ones are even more cushy, easy to remove. i really love the free ones very much!

<3
free remote jackets

Free=Better than paying for the colored ones. I can keep them apart by the little light squares on the bottom of the wiimote :-P

Well, price is hardly an issue considering I paid a whopping $2.49 for a full set of four colored silicone skins for the Wii remotes and nunchuks (eBay).

i like the nintendo ones. i removed them for SSBB though because it is easier to press buttons faster with it off. but for games like SMG its fine.
