Works well despite one flaw
Customer Rating: 




I read all the reviews here about several different Wii case options before deciding on the Wii Pro Gamer's Case. My reasons were:
* cheaper than the G-Pak
* hard case design gives better protection
* snug compartments prevent elements from rattling around
* compact size isn't larger than it needs to be
* metal looks good
My only complaint is that the design didn't allow for the power supply. I will often just leave the Wii stand at home and put the power supply in the long, skinny compartment, leaving ample room for everything else in the small compartments, solving the issue all together. The stand isn't that important since having the Wii standing on edge doesn't change gameplay. However, as another reviewer suggested, if I do bring the stand, I put the power block in the first small compartment at an angle with the cables carefully laid into the corner spaces of that compartment. It isn't ideal, no, but I think the pros far outweigh this single con.
My major concern for my Wii was protection and this setup does the job better than any other case or bag I have seen yet. The compartment for the Wii is snug - so snug it can sometimes be hard to get the Wii out. The velcro straps are almost not even needed. Another protection highlight not found in most other setups is the space for the Wiimote sensor bar, located in the lid of the case. No way is the sensor bar gonna get damaged.
By leaving the stand at home and putting the power block in the long slot, I can easily fit the audio/video cable and my two Nunchucks into the remaining small slots with room to spare. I could probably fit two more Nunchucks if I had them. I then put the sensor bar in its slot and the three Wiimotes in the lid (with room for a fourth). All are held snugly. If I place the Wiimotes with the elastic between the buttons, then the buttons don't get mashed in transit, though if you have too much crammed into the main compartments, the partition could possibly press the buttons and cause power drain. In that case, I would just remove the batteries.
Another reviewer said they broke the hinges on their case. It is true, the hinges do not open further than 90 degrees but (and I just now checked) quite a lot of unnecessary force would be needed to break the hinges. For the $25 price tag, the hinges are well made and if mine ever broke, I would buy another just like it. Or just put on a new hinge for $2.
For the protection provided by the compartments and the strong materials and by the snug design, this case wins hands down for me for the Wii. It loses a single star for lacking the design forethought to include room for both the stand AND power block.
