I think these are better than the original Wiimote silicone case. It gives a better "feel" of the controller. And has a cover for the nunchuck as well. The black color makes it look clean for more time. LOL Thin enough so I can pierce a hole to charge my Wiimote battery (sku 1353) without ruining...

They provide less impact protection then the original Wiimote covers, however they are (in my humble opinion) more comfortable to use. You choose your priority, protection or comfort.
