So I broke my glasses about three weeks ago, and just today managed to get over to lenscrafters to have them repaired. Due to the damage, they had to replace the frames entirely. As I was about to leave, the lady told me I could take the glasses case if I wanted... so I grabbed that too and walked out. Sitting in my car after, I stared at the case for a few minutes sizing it up. Yeah, I thought to myself, that'll be perfect.
And so:

The glasses in their rightful case.

If only we could get rid of the DKNY and somehow put a Wii logo on it.
It would be like something out of a cheesy movie. Like "The Wiizard."
Oh god that was a terrible joke. BUT IT HAD TO BE MADE.

hehe it'd be cool if there was space to wire up some LEDs and make it play some zelda music when you open it.

Well I don't know that glasses have model names, or numbers... I do know the frames I got are apparently discontinued... they had to get them from another lenscrafters that just so happened to still have them in stock. I tried to look this up for you guys, but the best I could do was this (already ended) ebay auction:

I like that a lot... I assume the nunchuk would fit in one.

sadly the niceness of the case makes the wiimote look yellowed

also my shit digital camera, and bright yellow halogen lights don't help the case. but yeah in the pics it does have that appearance... in real life it's a lot less noticable. especially nice is the soft felt interior (which might I add is perfectly squared) to rest the controller in.
I just railed one of my wiimotes against the wall playing baseball. thankfully the wall got the worse of it, and the remote only has a tiny smudge near the ir at the front.

Reminds me of:

You have a nice case there, and to top if off, should your Wiimote ever die, you have nice coffin to give it a proper burial in ;)

Is the DKNY printed on the top of the case? If so, I think some nail polish remover would remove it..similar to the LOGITECH logo on the PlayGear for the PSP.

Why rub it off? You can lie and say you ordered it from DKNY specially made for the Wiimote. LOL.

Nah, rather have a Wii logo on it.
Anyways, I may be able to get my hands on them. Unfortunately, it wont come cheap. It'll probably cost you $10 each and that includes shipping to you. Once I can find out how many people are interested and how many you want, I can see if price can drop.

np, I'm glad you guys are actually finding these! I didn't know how obscure they'd be. Mind letting everyone know where you managed to score one? and maybe for how much? (considering mine was free)

Walked into the one at the mall, said I needed a couple of cases, descibed them.
She asked if I bought glasses from there, I said I had(true, just not DKNYs).
She brought two out, I asked how much, she smiled and said Merry Christmas.
YMMV
