Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love it, makes gaming portable, controls are easy and the display is incredibly good.. great for on the go gaming and a lot of gaming options

This is a solid controller for your iPhone. I was able to remote play from my PS5 and Xbox with little input delay. Note: The case does not come with the controller

This device truly took mobile gaming to a completely new level realistically and affordably. The quality of the product was top-notch, it was extremely ergonomic, for my hands at least. The Backbone app was also an extremely nice luxury, given it centralized all games and game-streaming services in a single place alongside device control. This is an amazing gift for tweens/teenagers or really any age, my son loved it!

The backbone has really increased my mobile-gaming capabilities, and I really like the quality.

Product is awesome. I can play all my Xbox games with no input lag thanks to the local connection.

The best mobile controller by far. I totally recommend it

Backbone iOS Mobile gaming has evolved the last few years, especially as companies like Microsoft, have dived in to cloud gaming. However, you’re often faced with either using touch controls which tend to be unforgiving, or settling for 3rd party bluetooth controllers that either need to be charged, lose connection, or require you to prop up your smartphone to play a game. So, its not at all surprising that a company would offer a solution that offers both the flexibility of using a controller with easier to use inputs, and the ability to hold your screen at the same time. In the package, you’ll find the Backbone controller, an iPhone 13 adapter to account for the raised camera bump, and a basic quick start guide. Setup of the device is easy on iOS. If you have an iPhone 13 Pro, make sure to install the adapter, which allows the camera to clear the back plate. Using the spring tension, simply plug the iPhone into the lightning port, and then rest into the controller. The spring tension does a great job holding the phone in place, and like most iOS accessories with an app, your iPhone will prompt you to install the Backbone software. Once installed, you’re presented with an app walk through of the controllers buttons, including the capture button, backbone button, and the various features of the device. To make things easy, the app will also present you with a 1 year trial, after which you’ll need to pay for a membership fee for Backbone+. If you’re not currently subscribed to Xbox Live, the backbone will come with a 1 month Xbox Live Ultimate free trial to try out Cloud gaming. If you have an Xbox with remote play capability enabled, you’ll be able to use the controller to play those games. The capture button can either be tapped to start a recording, or held to take a screenshot. The Backbone is fairly responsive, with all the button combinations you’d find on a regular Xbox controller. You’ll have both joysticks with button press, L1/2 and R1/2 triggers, and the familiar ABXY and directional pad. I appreciated the ability to play games, such as Halo Infinite, using remote play on my Xbox Series X, and also works with various app based games found on the iOS App Store. This accessory alone has changed my mind with mobile gaming, turning my iPhone 13 into a small gaming device. The Backbone app will also sync with your contacts to provide notification when your friends are also playing a game with their backbone. Ultimately, this device is a great accessory to compliment your mobile gaming and taking a leap into cloud gaming with Xbox or even Stadia. The easy set up, without a need to pair the device, makes this one of the best accessories I’ve ever used with my iPhone for gaming. So, if you’re at all wanting to game with your iPhone, I’d highly recommend this!
