A Wii lid that doesn’t flap. December 22, 2007

Filed under: News — Max @ 10:57 pm

If you are like moste, then the flaps that cover the legacy Gamecube controller and memory card ports on the top of the Wii are bother some to you. if you keep your Wii in the horizontal position, the hinges are actually hindered by whatever surface the Wii rests upon. Apparently, the folks at Cyber Gadget have had enough of this obstruction, and have released a single replacement for the two, called the “Cyber Lid.”

For $8.66, you too can own this sleek and functional piece of molded plastic, which replaces those bulky and cumbersome flaps with small sliding panels (for the controller ports) and rubber stoppers (for the memory cards). Now you can enjoy your old Gamecube library without haveing to be constantly reminded of the borderline retarded design of this particular part of the Wii.

Or you can just remove your flaps altogether.

    will that product even ship to north america?

  4. Gravatar Max Says:

    From what I understand yes, but I’ll look into it more and see if there might even be an American release.

    (Give me until Monday or so)

    As of now no, joystiq is waiting for any word (as are we) of a Release for other major territories to save us from the stupid flap.

    I’ll be sure to post the latest if I hear of anything.

    does it work with the Wavebird? I assume it would, but you never know.
