Apple Remote Cases

A replacement Apple-branded remote is $30.

I personally don't need another object on my keychain taking up space in my pocket, nor do I really need to haul it around with me. If I did, I would just use a pocket in the notebook bag. That Rex remote looks interesting too.

Ah, I think you've missed the best application for these. I've got three remotes in my living room, one for each iMac and one for my Macbook. If I were to get an AppleTV, that'd be four. Skins = color-coding.

I do about the same thing you do really.

I got a Rex Sik for my MacBook Pro as well. It's a remote that fits in the express card slot. It doesn't have the same nice button-press feel of the Apple Remote, but with it I don't have to worry about losing my remote. Check it out at http://www.sik.com/rex.php.

What the heck is a Rek Sik?

I lost mine about a month after I got my MBP...Still haven't gotten around to replacing it, but I'll be a bit more careful with it next time around

I agree with Nick -- NOTHING about the Apple Remote needs protecting.

If I'm planning on using it, I store it at the top right of my MacBook screen using the built-in magnets. If I'm at home and not using it, it's on my bedstand with my keys, wallet, and iPod. If I'm traveling, I put it in a small zippered pouch where I keep other small cables and things (like a photo card reader, my iPod sync cable, etc.).

In the history of home theaters, has anyone ever bought a case for their remote control? I know a lot of people who love their TiVos with iPod-like devotion, but they would consider it silly to wrap the TiVo remote in a case.

This is a product looking for a market where none exists.

its nearly impossible to break an apple remote and who cares if they get scratched, what kind of weirdo would spend $20 on a case for this

I honestly have no idea where it is right now. I'll look under the cushions or ask the dog.

I like the zCover, though I'd want it on my keychain.
I especially like the instruction:
"Make sure it’s dried out before putting your Game Boy Micro into it."
