The PlayCase is a fantastic way to make playing your retro games on iPhone much more comfortable, this is the closest my phone has ever felt to a gameboy! With how dedicated Buppin is to this project I am very proud to be a supporter!

As a lifelong fan of the GBA since childhood this iPhone case/controller has spark the memories from my childhood. I can remember the hours spent playing games and see the same enthusiasm in my own son as he is playing his Nintendo switch. This product is more than a controller but a way for me to reconnect with gaming and share that with my son.
