Thrustmaster Wants Your Wii...Don't Give In
These Thrustmaster Wiiccessories had better live up to their name, because only that thin shred of sexiness could make these fugly fubars attractive; IMHO, they look like a pair of jumped-up staplers trying to be tiny little catapults. Although these Wiimote sleeves run a fair $9.99, I haven't really felt the need to wrap my Wiilly; the charging and non-charging docking stations run $24.99 and $14.99 and do, I suppose, offer a place to put that messy-looking nunchuck.
Personally, I've been using good old replaceable AA batteries because if I have one more piece of electronics that needs to be recharged, I'm going to go all Lizzie Borden on everyone within axing distance. But even still, I can't imagine any reason to buy a non-charging docking station beyond sheer tight-assedness - in which case, a product named "Thrustmaster" is just what the doctor ordered, one way or another.
For rechargable bliss (but not the nunchuck tidiness...I guess that's what the silverware drawer is for), go with the pleasingly minimal Nyko gig, or the equally low-profile JoyTech Wii PowerStation.
Take tiny's advice, chilluns...don't go with the big ugly stapler thing. Don't be that guy.

All I can imagine now is a wave of toasters and George Foreman grills that you can also run with the wiimote. Nintendo for your entire house.
