“The controller it’s self is great. It literally turns your phone into a console right! things I reckon id probably change… This SHOULD, be compatible with cases. (Perhaps make the tip of the lightning plug a little longer, then if people want to use it without a case you could make a rubber adapter similar to the opposite side or maybe a port you can adjust the length of with a slider. Could help with design ideas if you get in touch with me) It’s too risky using a £1000 phone without a case Also for longevity purposes you guys should probably look into making it so the lightning plug has some free play or is perhaps the side with the plug is on a joint. Because I feel that the lightning port won’t last long. Also think it would be worth while to integrate a battery so that play sessions can be longer. This would mean car journeys wouldn’t dent your battery life too much because it’s charging your phone as you play rather than draining it I’ll be completely and utterly honest the execution of this is great. The price…. Not so much. £100 for something like this is too much. If it included things mentioned above this would be worth it. And it’s be the greatest mobile phone accessory of all time. But for now it’s an emerging market and difficult to get everything right This is as honest and straight forward as a review gets”

“I love the Backbone itself. My only complaint is that about a week past my one year date and the sticks have started to drift. So of course my warranty won’t cover this. But it is a fantastic addition for anyone who plays games on their phone!”

“Adapter fit the new iPhone 14 pro max plus perfectly. I wasn’t aware I needed the adapter until I received my backbone. Within a few days I received a email asking if I needed an adapter. I received it at no cost inn3 days!!”

“Not being able to use the Backbone without a case is a hazard and the phone cost more than the backbone so sadly I am returning it, unless there is a way you can creat a small adapter or extender to it. I would definitely buy it again later.”

“I order backbone for my son and he can’t find any games he can use it and that are free. Wish I could return it and I probably won’t pay anything again from backbone”

“Enables me to take my entire Xbox Catalogue on the road with me Via My IPhone 13 Pro Max. Comes with a converter to fit my phone perfectly. Buttons are comfortable to use, the whole controller is light but sturdy. I am over the moon with my Backbone.”

“Backbone was so kind to send me an adapter for iPhone14MaxPro which it detected automatically when I updated my phone. This is what I call the best user experience. 🙌”

“The controller seems mostly sturdy and user friendly. I really enjoy playing with the controller and I am satisfied with my purchase. There I’ve noticed that my thumb gets a bit sore from the left stick not sure if that goes away or if I’m using it a bit wrong. Also the controller seems a bit jittery, as if the sliding parts could be a bit tighter so it wouldn’t move so much but mostly this doesn’t impact gameplay. We’ll see how it holds up in the long run.”
