    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

    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.

    Great controller

    NO phone case is compatible with this. I have a very thin case and I still have to take it off to use the controller. Subscription is silly but ultimately unnecessary. If you want to use your phone + backbone as a usb controller for another system or know other people that use a backbone, it may be worthwhile. All that said, it’s a great controller. I mostly use it for Xbox (cloud and console streaming) and PC (nvidia shield/moonlight or steam.)

    Very easy to use. Loading and using the apps was a little tricky at first, but once we got the hang of it, it’s great. It literally turns for phone into a hand held gaming device.

    I've been waiting for such a product! It's a game changer if you are on the go and love to play games. The Backbone platform is also very unique. Easy to navigate and great tips on the product and its capabilities.

    I originally bought this as a way to play my Xbox without taking up the bedroom tv. I have also noticed that I tend to play more and enjoy the fact that I can cross platform game with my son.
