Wii Transport?

[twilightx]

That looks exactly like a camcorder or camera case used for transport such as on a plane...that would totally work!

Wasn't sure if it was something else I didn't find online, since I've been looking for a solid container for my Wii to move...

I bet there is a place to buy it im pretty sure nintendo of canada gave that to someone maybe email nintendo asking them where to buy it?

I'm very new here, but I was just wondering...am I the only person that has been transporting it in the box it came in? I travel from school and to home (I'm in college two hours away) and I figured just using the box would be the best...I mean...thats how nintendo ships them...

That's actually a good idea too! But mine is thrown away...

See, I kept mine because I bought it a day before I was going home for Thanksgiving. Now I only have a few weeks before the christmas break. So I figured I should keep the box. Its cool. Wrap everything up like it came. And then I just put my extra controllers and the games in a lil bag.

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.:smilewinkgrin:

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?

 

[K LoLo]

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...

...do those REALLY hold everything you need? A full Wii for me complement consists of:
1 Wii and its cords
4 Wiimotes
4 Nunchuks
1 Zapper (So far)
And a game case that holds all the games instead of individual cases.

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. :wink:

 

[twilightx]

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!
