Questions & Answers

When I'm not playing Splatoon, do I have to remove my hat?

Yes, I understand. The item, which is intended to completely disable your gamepad, will not come off when it is applied, and, in addition, will keep your gamepad from supporting other games. Ensure that you intend for the rest of your Wii U's lifespan to be filled with Splatoon only. A sarcastic remark (dripping

Charge the game pad while it is stuck inside the case?

To charge the gamepad, you can plug a USB cable into it.

Is the charging station capable of charging the device?

Yes, of course! Whether you are using it on the docking station or on the controller (its just a case), it can still be charged there.

In the cradle, does it still charge properly after this has been added?

The answer is yes. Because the plastic case covers only a small part of this area, the charging dock can fit the game pad there

Hori is one of my favorite anime shows! There was no doubt that I would receive a quality product
5/5

Hori is one of my favorite anime shows! I already own a Luigi version like this so I knew I would be getting a good product. I consider Splatoon to be one of the best games I played. (It is up there with Smash! I therefore couldn't help but purchase it. Colors like this are so vibrant and fun! I like the fact that the black goes well with my black gamepad, making the color stand out even more. Hard plastic is used on the case, but it is extremely Be careful when you take it off, there are four clasps on each corner that need to be popped up before it can be removed. Otherwise, you may Using this charger is easy because it works with the Wii U cradle charger. It is a great starter case if you're looking for a replacement! This is just in time for the July 18 splatfest!.

I like it
4/5

A few small details would be helpful. This design has a very old-school feel and a nice concept. Although, the graphics will rub off when your hands rub against it after some time. I am not fond of the clasp design because if it falls anywhere near the back ones, the force will cause the plastic parts that do not lay flat to break, causing the case to not remain in place. This case feels fairly hard after prolonged use. If you're looking to collect it and just want a really cool case that you will have to get a replacement for after the hands rest on it wears out, then this is the one. If some of the design flaws had been changed, I would have given 5 stars.

This is a great product, so there is nothing to complain about
4/5

In order to protect our Wii U gamepad, we purchased this gamepad protector. A total of five children live with us. Having a product that will not be damaged if it's dropped is something that we want to achieve. It is one of the inevitable outcomes when one has 5 kids ranging from 10 to almost 1. There was no problem assembling this product, it arrived on time, and it is a good price. It would have been great if it had come with a screen protector like you can get for your phone, like you can order from Apple. In my opinion, this product is worth your money. It looks nice, and the kids love the pen. A pen cannot attach to the container due to the lack of a place to attach it. In addition to purchasing it again and recommending it, I also found it to be reliable.

It fits perfectly and I keep it on at all times, even when I am My astonishment at how perfectly and snugly it fits is beyond words
5/5

Despite the shape, the gaming pad fits perfectly on top and leaves cutouts so the buttons are still accessible. The screen, camera, stylus, and anything else can be used as usual underneath. made of hard plastic, so I am not sure if it is a good shock absorber. The mere fact that it covers the Gamepad means that it may prevent the corner from breaking if it drops. It has some cool art too, so I can look at it while I target those.

Although your son looks amazing (especially if you have the black controller)
5/5

Splatoon is one of the games I play the most, so when my mom snuck onto Amazon and bought this for me for Christmas, I was shocked and excited. I immediately installed it on my Wii U Whether you have the black controller or not, it looks amazing (especially if you have the black controller), but this controller does easily get fingerprinted. I found that odd, since protectors are supposed to keep this away from your screen. As an added bonus, the back of the controller isn't covered. It's only one-piece, so it's hard to judge exactly how useful it is as far as protection is concerned. I found it to be a great buy, however.

I highly recommend this hard case! I am very pleased with this case as it gives the Wii U Gamepad an extra layer of protection
5/5

With a Wii U console that must be bought if the gamepad gets damaged, it made sense for me to get something to protect the Wii U gamepad with things like kids in the house. It also adds a thicker layer of cover to prevent the screen from making contact with the ground if it is dropped flat. As well as the design, this one is pretty cool. I love the vibrant colors and think this gamepad accessory is awesome.

I am very happy with my purchase
5/5

It fits well, protects my GamePad, and I am pleased with the quality. With the Retro Mario protector, I ordered a stylus to go with it. The same cover already has a very detailed review on here, so I won't repeat it here. Just let me say that it finds the GamePad perfectly, and keeps it clean and protected perfectly! I still fit it in the charging station without any issues. Contrary to other reviews - it fits fine. It is not bulky or heavy, and it is small enough that my hands can use it. It does not fit in the stylus holster on the GamePad, therefore it is not suitable for use with a stylus. However, it's easier for young kids to hold than the standard stylus, so I suppose that is a bonus as well.

This GamePad case is super cool! When I purchased it on December 2, 2015, it was for a new computer I bought at that time
