Customer Ratings & Reviews

The price was great and the item is what it’s suppose to be. The backbone is a nice accessory to any phone for a gamer.

A great portable game system to add to any phone. The lightest weight system, compactable to take take anywhere.

I never heard of the backbone till one day I just found it at my local Best Buy and have it a try, a great solid product for anyone who wants to play their games remotely with Xbox remote play, or taking their mobile games to a premium

For anyone who enjoys mobile controller gaming, I think this is a great buy. Personally, I do recommend getting a slim case that can stay on while using the Backbone because having to take your case on and off all the time can be extremely frustrating. I also wish they’d made some sort of grip on the left side of it to hold that side of your phone in place. As designed, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear a clumsy person had their backbone’s lightning Jack snapped off inside their phone. One last complaint, the ads are real… like it takes all my strength to not drop this review a star just for the ads as a non-subscriber.

Pretty cheap and super convenient. Works as advertised

Bought this before leaving for training. Didn’t wanna buy a whole console and this made up for it. Awesome portable gaming device!

I love this hand held adapter. I have never been a huge phone gamer but i had always wanted to try it out and i have to say that i love how easy it works on my phone

Item has been great so far. I thought it was going to be a problem since i have a big phone but it expands alot. My only complaint is that you cant use it with a case on

Love it. Works great. Using it with a lightning wire extender to my older ipad pro for a big screen on the go. Taking full advantage of xbox cloud gaming. Highly Recommend. Mine did come with iphone 13 adapter included.

The Backbone is a thing of beauty it's helped me be able to play games from more places. It's a must-buy.

I like having the convenience of an all in one device to game with. It’s perfect for on the go gaming. I got tired of bringing my XBox controller with me on trips.

Backbone was ok as a controller, but not great. Trigger buttons were mushy. Ergonomics felt like Joycons and not as comfortable as a Razer Kishi. Just ok. Some will love this and it really isn’t a bad controller, just not for me. The subscription service is ridiculous as well. Controller functions like play anywhere should not be behind a pay wall. The app was meh.

Easy on the go gaming with Apple Arcade & also cloud streaming & remote play from consoles

Absolutely astonishing! Now I can play everywhere and not have to stop and get back into it later. Never ending fun.

Bought this for my son and he loves it! Great for X-Box, not so much for PlayStation but that is on Sony

The backbone works amazing on the iPhone 15 for all games. Easy to use and feels comfortable.

Really good device but the set up can be tricky. It kept asking me to sign up several times. Overall great!

Very easy to use just place phone in controller, didn't like you need to pay subscription in order to use app to control your games.

Really neat to play with Xbox Gamepass. Can play all my games on the go while traveling. Highly recommend!!

I really love this device. Able to play Xbox remotely and cloud, PS5 remote, Apple Arcade, Amazon Luna, Geforce Now. Just a great all-around portable gaming device.
