I love Hori! I knew I was getting a quality ...
I love Hori! I knew I was getting a quality product since I already own the Luigi version like this. Splatoon is one of the best games I've ever played(alongside smash!!) So I couldn't resist buying this. I love the bright neon colors! And that the black goes nicely with my black gamepad, therefore the color pops even more! The case is hard plastic but very durable. Just be careful when taking it off, there are 4 clasps on each corner that need to be popped up before removing it or else you'll break your case. This can be used with the cradle charger that comes with the Wii U. This is a great starter case or an excellent replacemnet one! - just in time for the next splatfest, July 18!

    The case fits perfect around my wii u gamepad. I bought two and placed one around the black and the other around the white gamepad. It looks nice on both and I really like that the case is like hard plastic. Also, there are like little rubbery feet things on the bottom of the gamepad to help keep it from moving when placed down. It also fits on the charger still. All the hole cuttings align nicely as well. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase. It really gave some color to the controller and protects it as well.

    Easily snaps into place and is just as easy to hold as without the case. The case hugs the GamePad perfectly while not obstructing any buttons or sticks. As such, your sticks are still exposed, so don't think you can be reckless with the GamePad just because it has a case. The Protector adds a very noticeable amount of weight. The Splatoon artwork looks great and adds vibrant color.

    It's a little pricey, but it's very functional. So if you love the Splatoon look and are looking to protect your GamePad from scratches, etc... it's a worthwhile luxury.

    This case was very easy to install and adds an extra protective layer to the Wii U Gamepad. Considering that if you damage your gamepad, you have to buy a whole new Wii U console to get another, I wanted something to help keep it protected with kids in the home. This also adds a thicker layer of material preventing the screen from making contact with the ground if dropped face down. The design on this one is very cool as well. The colors are vibrant and make for an awesome accessory for the gamepad.

    Really nice concept and old school design. However, the graphics will rub off where your hands are placed after some time. I don't care for the design of the clasps as if it falls anywhere near the back ones, the force will cause the plastic parts that don't lay flat to break and might cause the case to no longer fit properly. The hardness of it can be uncomfortable after long periods of time. If you're looking to collect it and just want a really cool case that you will have to at least replace after wear on the design where the hands rest- then this is for you! I would've given 5 stars if some design flaws were changed.

    I was expecting something more higher quality. First, the overall color is not as vivid as it looks on the box. Once you look at the case, you'll notice it looks cheap. Second, there's no soft materials inside so I am pretty sure the game pad will be scratched over time. There's thin gap between the front and the back cover. its for my 6-yr old son, so I am okay with that, but

    Possibly the best protector for any Splatoon fan in my opinion. It looks so good on a black game pad that when my sister saw it she asked me what happened to my old game pad having no idea it was just a cover.
    Edit: The top coating of paint can be scraped off even accidentally.
    UPDATE: The paint can be chipped off and taking off the case can be tricky.

    So I'll admit it... I'm completely addicted to Splatoon! This Splatoon Protector for the Wii U GamePad is super cute. The colors are really vibrant and pop.
    The protector is very well made and fits the gamepad perfectly. With the protector on, the gamepad still fits in the charging dock just fine so there is no need to remove it when charging. Also, it's really easy to put the protector on the gamepad, the front and back of the protector just snap together.

    Reviewed in Mexico on January 17, 2018
    El case me encanta, no hace que cambie mucho el volumen que ocupa por lo que el GamePad sigue entrando en su protector sin problemas (probado en el "Tomee Wii U Protective Case for GamePad - Blue")

    Lo mas importante, ya se cayó (a una altura como de medio metro), por el golpe se quito el protector de Zelda del Gamepad pero no le pasó nada al GamePad que protegia y sigue funcionando el WiiU.

    Recomiendo el producto para proteger tu valioso WiiU que, con el tiempo, seguro será una consola muy añorada

    Sono un fan sfegatato di splatoon e cercavo questo case da quando HORI l'aveva iniziato a vendere in giappone. Appena l'ho visto disponibile qui su amazon l'ho preso senza pensarci troppo (su altri siti i prezzi tra materiale e spedizione internazionale superano i 40-50 senza contare la dogana che può far lievitare il prezzo a suo piacimento; qui invece l'ho pagato 21 inclusa spedizione tracciata, sicura, europea e veloce con prime!)
    Fa la sua figura, io ho il gamepad nero e sembra customizzato! è così bello che dispiace quasi usarlo... dovrebbero fare il protettore per il protettore XD
