    Bought my son this backbone for xmas, so he could play his Xbox games on the go. He was so impressed and so happy to be able to play on his phone as if it were a handheld device. The ONLY down side is that you need to remove your phone from it’s case in order to connect it, which can be catastrophic should your phone fall while you’re in the process of connecting/disconnecting it.

    Amazing for the games that actually are compatible with the backbone all I ask is that u guys get more contracts with these games because I’m all over the place with the plethora of games I’m already able to participate in I NEED MORE.! I only had one issue,I had to get another one due to the charger port having a poor connection after a while.

    Buy it! It is totally worth it. Can play xbox games on it plus apple store games. Much better than using the onscreen touch pad games use. You won't be disappointed! I have the 14pro and it comes with an adpater to make it fit.

    There isn’t really anything complicated about this product’s concept. It’s just not my thing as I have pretty big hands so I prefer the full size of a controller. With the Backbone I had to cramp up my thumbs pretty hard. But again, that’s just me and my predicament. PROS: Build quality felt just ok with typical plastic, functionality was spot on and worked without a fuss. CONS: My biggest gripe with this thing is the lack of any kind of horizontal support for the phone. Seems like an oversight especially with how big and heavy the Pro Max can be. My next biggest gripe is actually it’s portability - it’s fine if you’re a kid to leave the thing on it all the time but snapping it on to play some games during my lunch break always felt awkward and kind of clumsy. That might just be me in that (remember the big hands) thought process.

    The back bone is really a good deal especially when you get the Xbox one because it comes with a free month of game pass and it’s the same price as the ps5 one I got the Xbox one just because of that right there but it’s a really good device to have
