Ownership verified by DX Class, because Nintendo still only has white
Posted by E_Man on 11/18/2008
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Pros: Ever wanted to see inside your Wii-mote? Fear not, with a little elbow grease, your wish will be answered. It comes with an installation kit, (trigram screwdriver), that's better quality than sku 1887. All the plastic parts you need are there, just a few pieces from the old shell and BAM, see-through Wii-mote.

Cons: It's not to tough, and there's different guides to help you along. I completed it in about 30 min, even with some issues. As others noted, you may break the original shell when breaking into it, but that's ok, you have a nice new clear one.

Other Thoughts: Even though this is a Do-It-Yourself job, it's really satisfying after completed. The button response is good, it looks great with the Wii-mote shell on it, and any attachments still fit proper.

Bottomline: I've bought 1 so far. I like mine with a retro Decal Girl sticker, and my GF has a pretty blue sticker. When I get my 4th Wii-more, another one of these will definitely be with a future purchase.

Pros: - Everyone can see the interesting parts in the Wiimote, and you have the best-looking one of all your friends.
- It includes a special Nintendo-Screwdriver, which you need to open your old Wiimote.
- The price is ok

Cons: - Some buttons should be kept from the old case, because they aren't that good built
- The + and - Buttons are able to rotate, but for me this isn't really a con

Other Thoughts: - If you are a bit skilful, there should be no problem at all to disassemble an rebuild the Wiimote.

Bottomline: Buy one, to impress your friends!

Pros: It's very well built, and is rather simple to install, as there is more or less one internal board that is very easily removed and installed.

Cons: The + and - buttons have wings on them that match grooves in the places where they go so that they don't rotate around, and can't be put in the wrong spot, but the case lacks those grooves, so your + and - buttons will be spinning about. Doesn't affect performance though.
None of the clear buttons actually have any labels, which might not be a big deal, although if you let someone who isn't familiar with the Wii use it, they might have a bit more trouble figuring out which button is which. Solved by using the buttons from the old remote.
The battery compartment also isn't built quite the same. This also isn't too much of a deal, but it causes the Nyko Rechargeable Battery pack to rest a bit too high for the battery cover to fit (although you can push it down and make it fit)

Other Thoughts: As mentioned, the process of installing the case is very simple, the hardest part is getting the metal contacts from the battery case out. Being designed such that you can't simply pull it out, you have to fit a thin wire or something (I used a bent paper clip) in order to trigger the release.
You'll also need to use a similar tool in order to get the LED illuminates for the player indicators out to transfer to the new case.

Bottomline: Unlike, say, a Nintendo DS casemod, installing this is really a piece of cake, and at a great price and for such a cool looking controller, I definitely recommend getting this!

Pros: - Excellent Price, because the quality is PERFECT. You don't get such a high quality lots of times on dealextreme (the lower the price, the lower the quality most of the times) but this is a good price to quality.
- It comes with a handy screwdriver.
- It comes with all the screws (so you don't need to use your original Wii remote screws.

Cons: - I was afraid to break the plastic of my old Wii remote because you really have to force the plastic to open it up.

Other Thoughts: Excellent!

Bottomline: Good product for a reasonable price. Good work.
