Travel for work and an absolute must - Traveling for work and bought this to help kill time in the airport and hotels. Has been amazing!! The pass thru charging keeps my device fully charged. Even though I have an older phone that does get a little warm after playing a while. I’ve played for 5 hours straight without it crashing though. The compact design makes it where it fits in my crossbody bag and always easily accessible. Runs off my battery of my phone when not plugged in and means no battery swapping and always available. Would definitely recommend. They do have a subscription that allows you to tap directly into your PlayStation; Xbox; or steam account. I’ve just been using it for my Apple Games. I think if you travel, have kids or just enjoy mobile gaming this thing is a must have.

Absolutely hate - This is probably my worst purchase at Best Buy. Cheaply built and not worth the money.

Perfectly functional. - It is perfectly functional for what it is. Not much else to add, I use it regularly. Not the most comfortable, but not uncomfortable either.

It does it's job and feels nice - I have used the Backbone a decent amount since purchasing it. I have really enjoyed being able to play more games on my phone with it. I have a iPhone 17 Pro Max, and in order to use this, I have to take my case off. A bit disappointing, and maybe it says on the packaging that it is exclusively for non max phones, but because it wasn't egregiously obvious I am reducing rating to 4 stars.
