    My teen loves this device. It is very simple to set up (just fit your phone into it, it just works). It plays any game that supports controller. Very cool purchase.

    It’s pretty good. It’s not a 10/10 but it is satisfying enough if you want to game when your out of town or on a plane it’s up to you. However I don’t find the time for it. It’s good enough. Only but if if you truly need it other wise not worth the 99$ price tag. Thank you!

    The Christmas gift hit of the year. I couldn’t ask for a better reaction to a Christmas gift. My son plays with this almost daily and it’s great for road trips.

    Backbone

    Item is very good. However, with the iPhone 14 pro max, it doesn’t line up very well. The camera is too big for it, so it doesn’t hug the corners the way it should. Other than that, I like it.

    My boyfriend has really enjoyed his backbone for travel. He can easily play games while sitting on the couch or in bed so we can still be together.

    I really like this item. The idea behind it is awesome and it meets those expectations. I do wish the joy sticks were a little taller and smoother. But work fine. I can now make my phone a portable Xbox. Love it

    Getting through the logins for various apps, downloads, the playing experience is great. Still trying to figure out how to play via the Xbox console connection, but over all...great device.

    I bought this for my nephew so he could “take his Xbox everywhere”. Set up was very easy and he loves being able to play his Xbox games on his phone.

    I’m really enjoying my Backbone. I have long 3hr chemo sessions and using my iPhone and Backbone over XBox Cloud Gaming has been seemless and smooth even over cellular networks. I’ve already convinced one of the young nurses to go buy his own just by him looking over my shoulder while I cleared out some zombie hordes in State of Decay 2. Controls are responsive, buttons seem sturdy. The triggers are not very dynamic so I do a lot more feathering than I would on a dedicated XBox controller but it’s very easy to get acclimated with how they react to inputs.

    It is an easy connect to your iphone off the rip. Only annoying thing is it makes you set up your backbone + membership and enter your card before youre able to use it. But u can cancel it right away. Works great though i like it.
