Can't say that I do anymore. I did when it first came out, but I was afraid that it would slip out of my hand. Then I used the Wiimote and realized you would have to be drunk to throw the blasted thing while playing.

It annoys me to wear it, but I do sometimes, when it annoys me. I know. It annoys me not to wear it, but it annoys me TO wear it. For example, I'm playing Mario Kart Wii; and Im using the wheel.The strap flicks around and stuff. .D. And then I'm forced to wear it.

i think that the wrist strap is clever and prevent things from getting broken, but i don't wear one becasue I hav rechargeable batteries and the wii remote can't fit into the charger with the wrist strap on and I can never be bothered to put it on before I play.

I don't always wear it, but I make some of my more clumsy friends wear it, and they hate it, but I've already seen one go flying across the room, so its worth the added hassle

I almost never use it. I just sit back and play games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Metroid Prime 3.

I always use the wrist strap. Safety first! Once I didn't use it and it slipped out of my hand by accident and hit the floor. Luckily, the plastic Nintendo uses is sturdy and the Remote didn't even have a scratch on it.Wonder what they put in those things...

It depends on what game it is....For example, do you really need to have it in brawl? where you don't even move the thing?

How? No, honestly, how can you even let go of the thing?I never use the wrist strap, it's uncomfortable, and I have what we call 'grip', I clench my hand around the remote to a degree and suddenly it's not prone to flying everywhere!Genius, even if I do say so myself. =)

Depends, if the game is extra waggle-controlish then yes, I wear the strap. Otherwise I don't, not that is matters, I haven't played my Nintendo Wii in a long while.

The only instance I could ever see my self flinging a Wii remote would be if I were VERY, VERY angry.And I'd be quite mad, if at that point, the Wii remote did not promptly fly from my hand into whatever I was wishing to hit with it at that moment. And no, the fact that it would have been money spent would do nothing to appease me. Because then I'd have to take it off my wrist anyways, and chuck it as hard as I can as soon as it was off.

I chose sometimes, since it's not a habit of mine although I will play with it on in, say... Endless Ocean :D I got used to it with that game, but not any of my other ones

I don't it's annoying and if someone else want's to play its a pain to remove it. So I like flinging the wiimote around.
