    My review of the BackBone

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros -Built quality is good. -it feels nice to hold. -Buttons feel great to press -design looks just like the Nintendo Switch with the phone in it Cons -Currently not much apps work with the controller -unfortunately you can't use a phone case so for those who uses phone cases will have to take it off to play the BackBone Maybe I'll update it in the future but for now this is all my opinion on the BackBone
