I love my backbone, i get to play multiple console games through the xbox app and having the backbone makes it feel like im playing on a steam deck

Must have for any hardcore gamer. Find it better than a Portal because you can use it with Xbox, PC, native android games, and emulators too! Pretty comfortable too!

More like 4.5 star. Its nice I can play most ps5 games I have. Only thing I do not like is that it is sometime hard to connect to my phone due to the case.

awesome for playing video games on the go. fits in my bag perfectly

Great accessory for mobile gaming. This made those long flights more enjoyable and easy to pass the time

Works exactly as intended, slightly uncomfortable if you have big hands, but still would recommend

A great addition to my collection as I’m a gamer and love the direction cellphone gaming is headed. The backbone works well and responds well to the games I play.

Great tool to maximize games on iPhones IOS platform

Love this!! Makes gaming on my IPhone 15 Pro very easy! Now I can throw this in my backpack and game anytime. Especially when I’m traveling, no more worrying about someone stealing my gaming laptop!

Use this to pass the time when traveling. Was able to play the games i wanted to no problems.

It's a really high quality product. If you're in the market for a phone controller you literally can't go wrong with any backbone product!

Works well with my phone, easy to use, and wuick set up.

Game changer, literally. Paired with the iphone15 promax i am able to play xbox games anywhere. Breaks at work, long waiting room stays and boring family get togethers are no longer a problem at all.

Great device turns phone into handheld gaming system.

Purchased the Backbone for my daughter who has an iPhone 15 ProMax and it works great. I just wished it had the capability of working with phone cases attached to the phone.

Works as advertised and so worth the money especially if you’re a traveler! The app that they download is not free but it really is well designed and thought out. All in all I am very happy with my purchase.

This is a nice accessory for your phone. If you're not really a console gamer anymore in your middle-aged life, this helps make COD Mobile and other games much easier to play.

I love this when playing games on the go. The joysticks can be a bit rough when playing on it for a while, but other than that it is fairly comfortable to play on.

While the Backbone is sleek, stylish, and adds the headphone port back, while having USB-C power, it makes the newest iPhone seem like a Switch contendor, however it struggles to fit the 15 Pro of it’s large camera bump. Worse yet, the game launcher integrated in Backbone’s app is locked behind a $30 a year pay wall. I could understand this price if it offered more content, but it seems to be minor upgrades that can be replaced with cheap/free alternative apps.

Alas, a gaming device that allows for me to play all games on my phone that is better than a Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally and a Switch (minus Nintendo’s star lineup games). The app interface is intuitive and a pleasure to use- showing all of my gaming possibilities. If you have a PS or XBOX you can stream games using that hardware but you really need 5Ghz wifi and the bandwidth. Now that Nvidia lets you use their hardware for a small fee also, you could play all your steam games remote and dont even need a pc. There are some addon costs and $40 annual fee for the Backbone app, but I am highly enjoying mine. One concern is that my phones battery will wear down quick gaming with it all day.
