    Love this controller

    I bought this for my iPhone 16 and I love it. Originally I purchased the backbone, but found the controller to be not bad, but not super comfortable. The backbone pro however is really nice to hold, I enjoy it a lot and find it very comfortable. I prefer to use it in Bluetooth mode and just set my phone on a holder to keep my hands from fatigue and it works great for me. It works nicely in handheld mode as well. I love the pink color as well it’s super pretty although it is overpriced to have to pay an extra $70 just for pink.

    Crappy!

    Received this as a birthday gift from my husband. Initially I was excited. I love mobile gaming & these remotes make that experience so much more enjoyable. I was skeptical because I've owned these in the past & have had nothing but awful experiences with them. They stop working easily & break even faster. Not only are they crappy but their return system & customer service is horrendous. This remote worked fine for a while but after about a week or maybe two, it started disconnecting mid game. It would reconnect a few seconds later but by that time you'd already be losing whatever game you're playing. The Bluetooth also lagged terribly when using it as a remote to play games on my television. Needless to say the item was returned for a refund. Didn't even want the replacement. Looked online & saw that a bunch of others were having the same issues with theirs. I would not recommend this product. It's entirely too expensive & honestly it does exactly what the older models do minus the Bluetooth remote option they've added. Not worth the buy.

    It’s cute but for the price you might as well buy a Nintendo switch. But if you just want something cute and girly get it!

    The color is so pretty!

    I like how I can take it with me up stairs, downstairs, kitchen. I got the black backbone for my husband in Christmas. I tried it out and loved it. He recently got me the pink one when it was on sale. I play use it the most in my bedroom before bed and when I’m lounging with my family in the evenings.

    could have been better

    the concept is nice it feels comfortable in your hands but having to take my phone case off everytime I use it is crazy. also there's no easy fast way to get your phone in and out of it without the possibility of dropping and cracking your screen. im also disappointed that they almost force you to sign off for a subscription to use your apps.

    Great controller

    Perfect! I just started gaming on my phone and hated using the screen as a controller. This has made gaming more fun, less fatiguing, and more accurate. The color goes well with my pink phone case. Unfortunately, I do have to switch out my phone case every time I want to use it because my more protective everyday case doesn’t fit. Otherwise, I love it.

    Awesome gaming accessory

    Love this accessory! Fits well in my hands without giving me fatigue or cramping while gaming on the go. Wayyy better than trying to use my phone to game by itself for games like COD. Not too bulky, so easy to carry with you and the kids just stuff it in their hoodie pockets and go. Easy to use. Highly recommend.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE! And so happy with PINK!

    Aboslutely love this device. Been eying a Backbone for a while now and bought this when I saw the pink device come out. I didn't realize they had a Pro version and I am so surprised at how much I like it. Comforatble, don't notice any lag, and haven't had the need to charge it yet. Love it!
