The Joytech one seems to be the best out of all the ones that I have seen and it is something I am thinking about getting.

I have seen one from Big Ben and its a single dock that you need to plug into the wall... the Joytech one is USB! much better!

but I looked at amazon (cause i am in Germany) for the joytech (Amazon.co.uk: Power Station (Wii): PC & Video Games) but its different from the one on gameseek... i like the look of the gameseek more..

Watcher, are you still happy with your purchase (just that I saw these in game too and was considering them)?
Unfortunately, I have 4 'motes, which means the cost will come to £60 :(

Weejamer, you can get the same from Ebay as well.

A very similar alternative from Ebay are

these.

....or maybe these

that include a place to put your 'chucks

:

However, if you don't mind not having a cradle, these

are a cinch to plug in and charge from the Wii itself and come out even cheaper.

Yes, very happy, the actually cradle, USB cable and battery pack are top quality stuff! My only (very petty) gripe would be with the replacement wiimote cover with the battery contacts on. Its a slightly different shade of white to the actual wiimote and is slightly rough on some of the edges. But that could just be the one i got!

Do you have a silicon skin on your wiimotes too?

I have them but the look of cradle seems to "hug" the 'motes in quite a snug fashion.

...in which case, I'm not sure my 'motes will fit with the sleeves on.

Is it quite a tight fit?
