The World’s Most Dangerous Object, the Wii remote, is now that much safer and cuddlier. Nintendo is now offering free silicone covers to further soften the already rounded corners of your light, plastic Controller of Chaos & Destruction.
From the press release:
The Wii Remote Jacket provides cushioning for the Wii Remote for people who might accidentally throw or drop their Wii Remotes while playing games. Use of the Wii Remote Jacket is meant to supplement, not replace, the basic game-play instructions: keep a firm grip, don’t let go of the controller, use the wrist strap and make sure your play area is free of people or objects. The Wii Remote Jacket also serves as a cover for the Wii Remote. Nintendo recommends players use the new Wii Remote Jacket as a cushiony shield, though the current Wii Remote is a safe product when used properly.
The Wii Remote Jacket is designed to be added and removed easily, in case users want to slip their Wii Remote into an accessory like the upcoming Wii Zapper.
Current Wii owners who want to equip their Wii Remotes with the new Wii Remote Jacket free of charge can go to Wii.com or nintendo.com, or call 1-866-431-8367 to place an order. Nintendo will begin taking orders on Oct. 2, and Wii Remote Jackets will begin shipping the week of Oct. 15.
I’ll send some GGL swag to the person who sends me the best name for this item. I vote for “Wii Condom,” but maybe you can do better.

Your email failed… when I tried to send you some names.
That’s no good. Post them here for now.
Other than refining your Wii Condom to Wiindom, I’ve got nothing.
