Wii Wrist Strap
Teeksgib:
I used one for my nephews bday party once. Connected the thing to a wooden stick for the pinata. It worked great LOL

Also you can get them free from nintendo. You send them serial number of your system and send you up to 4 at a time. Thats what i did when i wanted to replace my abused ones.

I bought 3 additional wiimotes within the first month of purchasing my launch system. I'm still using the original wrist straps. People just can't be stupid while playing and actually throw the controller assuming the strap will save them.
I got the Wii right before college and i required that everyone use the wrist strap. If they did not use the strap and dropped the remote they were done playing on my system, forever. People also have to rinse their hands before using my controllers. Yeah ... i'm 'that guy'

Shenske, I'm with ya.
I've become more lenient with friends that I know own one/have played the Wii a lot, but people like my 10 year-old brother-in-law are on the perma-strap list.
Also, they're great for portables if you like a strap for them ;)
I've got 12 straps I think. The initial straps, the "beefier" straps that came out within a couple of months of launch, and then the straps with the locking clip as well. Hey, they were free. I wasn't gonna pass em up even though I almost never use them for my Wii ;D
