    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.

    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.

    When I first saw this controller on social media, I thought to myself. I really need a controller to play some of these mobile games I play on iPhone. So I bought the best controller on the market and I never regretted it.

    It does it’s job but it is very important to have your Xbox hardwired at home at least that gives you an opportunity to cloud game. Some glitches with the backbone but when it works it’s great.

    I bought this so they could still play some games snd do their dailies while we were on vacation. It definitely kept them occupied and even though they said you can’t play everything you normally do, its still better than not having it at all.

    Have to say I have been enjoying mine. I also tried the Razer controller as well and have to say I do prefer the Backbone. The app integration Backbone offers is superior to the Razer and is absolutely worth the subscription in my opinion.

    Great accessory however only for iPhone. Tried to download Backbone app for iPad Mini, no dice. Only supports connection if you manually set the backbone to use on iPad. Just felt it had limited use. If you are using it primarily with your iPhone, then this Rocks!

    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 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

    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.
