I wear my Wii remote strap. I've yet to actually drop the remote, but I continue to wear the strap.

It depends on which game I am playing. I never use it with shooter games like COD or Resident Evil 4, but I always use it for sports games or party games that require a lot of quick hand movements.

of course i do - why wouldn't u? It's not just there for appearance, it ensures extra protection. hu cares if your sure you're not gonna let go - accidents happen and it's not like it prevents you from playing the wii as well as you can. It only takes a bit of time at the beginning and end to put it on and adjust it.

I only wear it sometimes when I'm playing Zelda because slashing the sword makes the darned thing smack me in the wrist... and I find it annoying. Other than that, I don't want to damage the controller by smacking my cat in the face or bringing it to the bathroom with me... I forget it's there. @.@

Yep. I'd feel stupid if my hand was so floppy that I couldn't hold on to it. Besides, I'm not an avid exercise person anyway. I lay on my side and casually flick my wrist. That's all you need, anyway.

I wear the wrist strap and I'm proud of it! Even tho some of u people say "I'm careful, I'll never let go" u never really know what's gonna happen. The Wii-mote is an expensive piece of equipment and I wouldn't want it damaged in an accident.

That's true, actually, a little turn is all you need for most things to work just fine.There's no need to swing it around insanely.And I Love Playing the Wii while laying on my bed. It's great.

I wear the strap sometimes, usually when the reminder comes up to put the nunchuk connected to the Wii Mote string. Otherwise, when I just put the controller down to do something I forget about the strap when I come back.However, I always make my little brothers wear the strap. They are 9 and 7 and are NOOBS. On Christmas day, during Wii Bowling they threw it at the wall.Fortunately, it didn't break.

My arm gets tired after laying on it for a while. Playing Wario Ware is a baisch though. They assume that you have enough room to stand while playing it.Oh yeah, did you guys hear that they're making a jacket available for the controller, its free for all wii owners, and its going to come with all the new Wiis. http://www.nintendo....cketrequest.jspI guess it's good for the little siblings that like to play rough with the "form baton".
