Can This Revolutionary Case Change the Game for Apple Enthusiasts?

Key Points:

• The GAMEBABY is a two-piece case for your iPhone that houses a complex system of physical buttons, allowing you to play retro games on your device.
• It works in conjunction with the Delta Emulator app, which emulates classic Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games.
• The case is available for pre-order at an early bird price of $24.99, with a final retail price of $39.99, and is currently only compatible with the iPhone 15 Pro Max and 16 Pro Max.

As a child of the 90s, I grew up with a Gameboy Color by my side, playing iconic games like Pokémon, Ray-Man, and Super Mario. The thought of reliving those memories on my iPhone was music to my ears when Apple opened the gates to emulator apps like Delta. While it’s great to mimic physical buttons using haptic feedback, there’s no substitute for the real thing. That’s where the GAMEBABY comes in.

This innovative case is a simple, yet clever solution to playing retro games on your iPhone. Its core functionality is straightforward: a two-piece case with a camera cutout and a bottom portion that houses the magic. When used as a regular case, it’s just that – a regular case. But when paired with the Delta Emulator, it becomes a full-fledged retro gaming experience.

The case’s secret lies in its use of a stylus-like material under each button, which mimics finger input on the screen. This allows for a seamless experience, with a 99% hit rate in my testing. Combine this with the haptic feedback, and you’ll feel like you’re playing the original Gameboy.

One caveat is that Magsafe support is nonexistent due to the case’s two-piece design. However, this is a small trade-off for the sheer delight of playing retro games on your iPhone.

The GAMEBABY is available for pre-order, with an early bird price of $24.99 (reverting to $39.99 at retail), and currently only supports the iPhone 15 Pro Max and 16 Pro Max. If you’re a retro gaming enthusiast, this is a no-brainer purchase or gift.

As I close my review, I’m excited to see how the GAMEBABY will evolve to support more iPhone models. For now, I’ll be using it extensively, whether on the subway or during long flights. If you’re a fellow retro gaming enthusiast, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this innovative accessory – would you use it?
