    I got this Backbone One Lightning game controller for my Nephew. He absolutely loved it. It works with his current iPhone. Because he takes lots of trips for his job, he can easily play for hours on the plane. He is thankful for this gift. I'm sure he'll get many long hours of play with this controller.

    The quick plug n play of the backbone is what really kept me using this product. Nice snap onto the phone and boom im playing the Delta Emulator/Minecraft/Call of Duty with no issues and can even map the buttons if I do not like the traditional layout which is a plus! I would def recommend picking up the carrying case to pair to carry the backbone with no issues/fear of breaking the unit. Would buy again!

    Very recommended if you like remote play and you can play some mobile games. Tje best thing is that you can charge your phone thru your backbone and use wited earphones.
