    I got this because I was feeling down and I needed a treat. It's really fun. I take my lunch breaks in my car and I'm able to turn on PS Remote play and use the Backbone controller with no issue. It also works really well on some of the mobile games I've tried, typically ones with a bunch of onscreen controls that are normally covering your view with the help of your fingies. If you've got the money for it, grab one. It's super cool to have and a nice treat for yourself.

    This is a wonderful buy. I think It is worth the price of admission. Great way to play mobile games, and a wonderful way to play PS4/5 with remote play. Add some functionality back to my phone with the headphone jack for when my pixel buds need to charge. Only negative is I feel like the controller needs to be a little snugger in fit around the port, other than that it is an excellent buy! Don't need the PSN edition but the way it looks is so clean. Go get one if you are a playstation user and want some functionality in the go

    The Backbone has been an amazing device that has helped me enjoy mobile gaming on a whole other level. The compatibility with various apps and being able to remote play my PS5 have greatly increased my enjoyment of my phone based gaming. My only grip is that the control can feel a little flimsy at first and takes some time to get used to,

    Before the PlayStation portal came out. I have used the backbone. And I can honestly say that my experience was an amazing one. Being able to use your phone to play games is simply amazing and convenient. The backbone can easily fit in a small book bag. And can be taken on to go. A highly recommended product and it's extremely affordable if you cannot afford the playstation portal.

    This is a MUST have for any gamer. I bought this so I can play Baldur's Gate 3 anywhere I go. The feel, and control is GREAT! I am using it with a Z Fold 3, which it is not made to fit this phone, but I just have to remove the phones case for it to fit. The connection to remote play on PS5 works perfectly, and i find myself playing regular phone games on it also. Definitely Recommend this!!!

    PlayStation Backbone For Android

    This backbone is incredible! I really enjoy playing COD Mobile with it! It's incredibly easy to use and has a home button to view all your backbone apps. It seems although that backbone PlayStation edition for Android is pretty new. If I put in the game that I'm using a backbone controller it sets my settings for Xbox when my controller's buttons are clearly PlayStation. So I have to set it as me using a PS4 controller.

    So i bought the back bone one for the Playstation 5 and its great for most game. The only games it isnt good for are games where you have to have quick reflexes like call of duty or rocket league. It is compatible with phone games that are compatible with controllers as well so over all its pretty good

    This is cool to have when your waiting somewhere for a long time, but you have to have your actual PS5 on rest mode in order to use it so for road trips it’s not ideal but it’s handy to have when your going over to a big family party or anywhere you get bored easily & can still play!

    Very handy when out and have available wifi. You can access your ps5 when having good wifi connection only down side is the size of the controles there small and for some games its harder to use but overall its a good hand-held gaming device but only if you own ps5 or xbox series x.

    Awkward

    I'm not sure if I can accurately review the Backbone. I bought it thinking it would be awesome with my Z Fold 4 but not so much. For one, It doesn't fit my phone unless its removed from the case. With that, even with the thinnest case that I have, it offsets the phones usb-c port. So the phone has to be naked. Secondly, because of the usb-c connection, it opens the folded screen downwards. That makes the full screen position awkward also. With that being a larger man, 6'3" the downward screen makes holding the backbone awkward for my hands, With all that said, sadly I had to return the Backbone because I couldn't use it as advertised. For a regular phone and people that don't case their phones, it might be great but for a for a person whose phone is protected or if you have a other than normal phone. I say, try before you buy.

    This is amazing for on-the-go gaming. I used it to play Hogwarts Legacy while my husband was driving or while waiting on an oil change. My phone screen was a little smaller than I would have liked, but I think as long as you are familiar with the game it shouldn't be a problem.
