    This backbone is amazing, with one small exception. I use the otterbox defender case on my phones and if they allowed the backbone to open just another 1/4 inch, it would work with the case on it. I use s short cable to attach the backbone to my phone on a small stand so i don't have to take the case off to play. Other than that, this is well worth the purchase to play with much better control than using the on screen buttons for call of duty mobile.

    Buttons feel good, gameplay is good if you have good connection, super easy to setup, my biggest issue with it overall is that if you have an android (I'm using Pixel 7 Pro) you get black bars on every game due to the taller but slim screen profile that most Androids share and on an already small screen it makes a large difference.

    Nice hardware, feels very basic for the high price

    Really nice device - but the Backbone paid service is silly. This should be a one-time charge, not a service for something so basic. It's a shame Backbone is greedy - the hardware is nice but within a year there will be a dozen competitors priced 1/2 this or less, and there will be alternatives for the software that don't require a subscription. That being said, great to use, just don't pay for the service.
