Not worth it no good for long distance travel, and on top of the cost of the thing itself you have to pay to a service to even play games on it

The iphone 14 pro camera pushes against the backbone causing the lightening port to plug into the device at an angle even with the included adapter. Will return as this seems like it will cause future issues with my lightening port on my iphone... its a bummer as the quality of the controller feels great but was probably designed for 13 pro and earlier phones (which may work fine)

Buttons are responsive. Big downside is cases for phones MUST be taken off. Build quality is nice. Just wish the phone connector is adjustable.

The Backbone is a very nice quality controller no doubt. It was a great size portable. I really loved the streaming that you were able to do. That was very accessible. At the same time it would've been better off just a regular mobile Bluetooth controller that you could buy Xbox and PlayStation games on. . I just felt like it was no point of getting the controller if you had a console unless you traveled a lot or the go, And if you didn't have console , you were limited to a lot of popular games you could play. There were a lot of apps that I had to download for the controller. And as a package, keep in mind you had to pay for the controller, if you had an Xbox or PlayStation membership, then the Backbone app is free but if you wanted that membership that's a monthly bill as well. You're better off just buying the game system itself.

Purchased for my 10 year old as a great on-the-go way to keep him entertained while traveling. We just connect to our mobile hotspot or airplane WiFi and he's got all his games right there with him! Love that it can charge while playing instead of burning up the battery. The apps are an added bonus I actually wasn't aware of ahead of purchase. Was hesitant about buying white with young hands, but the controller is easily cleaned with a wipe. Great produt, great price.

I've been playing playstation since the PS1 came out, and had a PSP at one point. This experience is incredible, super reactive & high quality, really comfortable, and more portable than any other option. Couldn't recommend this more.

My oldest son is getting into video games. I don’t want to be THAT MOM that is hovering over his shoulder or monitoring what he’s playing. I like the Backbone because he has to use my phone to play so I have more control than a standalone system.
