    But without a strong game library for mobile that utilize the controls it's just not worth 100$. Don't get me wrong I would pay 50$ for something like this. It was good quality and it's easy to use. But man the price is just wrong.

    Strong Backbone

    This is just the thing that will keep you occupied while riding in a car or on a plane. It's not flimsy, has some weight to it and is pretty sturdy. Be sure to pay attention to the attachments that it comes with, otherwise you'll have problems putting your phone into the Backbone, especially if your phone has a case on it. Overall good purchase.
