Pros:
* Different face plate lights to choose from.
* Looks really good.
* They send you the screwdriver you need for the WII specific screws.

Cons:
* Cheap plastic
* It's a tight fit which makes it difficult to put it back together.

Overall I like it more than the manufacturers white case. I looked at lots of cases (see through, etc.) and this one looked like the best of all. It's worth the price.

This case makes my wii look freaking awesome! The case itself is actually aluminum and of a higher quality than the OEM white plastic case that came with the Wii, but it was a little difficult to get onto the Wii. The instructions it came with are nice and very detailed, and if you've ever built your own computer, you can manage this case mod. Be warned that it is a bit more difficult than putting together a computer, but mostly because everything inside a Wii is so small and compact. This mod took me about 6 hours.

The only real design problem with the product is the cord on the DVD LED gate. It's a bit too long, so there's not really enough room for it inside the case, which makes it difficult to close. But once you've figured out how to stuff it in there, you never have to open it or worry about it again (i've had mine at least 6 months).

If you want to buy this, also be aware that it comes with three different dvd gate colors: red, green and blue. Personally, i think it looks best with the green gate.

Doesn't the picture look absolutely amazing? I thought so, too. That was until this thing arrived with VERY weak instructions and poor craftsmanship. A significant amount of the pieces don't fit very well. Even after an hour of trying to make them fit the covers for the GameCube memory card and controllers will not stay closed and are off-centered. The instructions are missing several steps (especially for putting it back together once most of the Wii is completely disassembled!!!!).

I do not recommend this cheap piece of garbage unless you want to ruin your Wii. I'm going to attempt to put the original cover back on. Small claims court doesn't sound like such a bad idea. Stay away from this junk!
