Chu9 Game Phone Case, 168 Built-in Small Video Games, White, Compatible with iPhone 13, 13 Pro
E**.
Totally worth the money, just get it.
Blast from the past.All the games are solid and operate just like original NES. Exception, Tetris you cannot hold the down button without having the block slam down. Also, there is no two player as it is a single person device. Code for super contra does not work allowing 30 lives. Front edging around the case is a little sharp and kind of hurts the ear when using the phone, I had to take a razor blade and shave off the sharp edging.I am a NES collector and have every device and game ever made, this thing is pretty cool.Full color screen and it lights up so you can play in the dark.

If you don’t buy this you are STUPID!
I was a skeptic that this thing would work but now that I’ve had it for 2 weeks I can legitimately say that if you don’t buy this you are STUPID...Great Battery Life, screen and controls work fantastically!

For the price, it is acceptable with some minimal nitpicking.
I like the selection of games and they look to be genuine NES ports. There is no save feature so each time you power down the device, it resets the device. You can choose from Chinese and English. There are 36 games and they are a mix of NES titles both good a bad. Original Mario Brothers, Super Mario Brothers, Tetris, Contra, Donkey Kong and several others.Buttons: You have a power button which you must hold about 5 seconds to power the device on or off. There is a reset button that takes you back to the game selection menu. You have a start button in the place the select button should be, you will use this to launch the game in the selection menu or to pause games during play. You also have a volume button which gives you four levels - Off, quiet, medium, and loud. There is no headset jack so all sound comes from a tiny speaker.D Pad and A and B: The d pad and buttons have a tacky rubber feel to them. The D Pad is spongey and makes finer work in Super Mario like ducking under a block on level 1-2 very difficult. The A and B buttons are reversed so it does throw off the traditional layout. You cannot reassign the buttons through the game menus which means you are stuck with this layout. The a and B buttons do have pretty decent response.Overall Performance: The system has a problem with flex and it shows on the screen whenever I use the D Pad or A and B buttons. This bothers me as I am concerned with overall longevity. The case fit tightly on an Iphone 6S and IPhone 8.There are additional phone options to fit many other phones. Without a phone in the case, the flex is pretty bad. With a phone in the case, flex is still present. This along with the reversed buttons are my biggest gripes about this.With a decent screen protector, I believe the case would protect the phone from reasonable wear and tear. But there are no extra thick corners as found on most other phone cases. I am not sure this would be a good choice for protecting your phone from more serious drops. The screen on the back would also likely be damaged during any drop.Lastly, there is battery life. This is not really meant as a long term gaming solution but rather a functional novelty for occasional casual gaming use. I got about 3 hours of use when fully charged. At about 3 hours, the screen begins to fade until it goes dark. Sitting in the drawer, I was able to play the odd casual game of Tetris or Super Mario for about a week.It uses the old style Micro USB which means you'll have to keep one handy for charging. It does come with a cable, but it is about 6 inches long - pretty much useless. It would have been nice to use a charge cable compatible with the phone it is designed for, but at $20, this is a minor nit pick.There are far better hand-held consoles available in the $20-30 price range. Many no longer have actual NES roms. This won't beat out an actual GBA with a 120 rom gamepack.Many of these games are available for Nintendo Switch with the $20/year Online Subscription with new games appearing frequently. So finding these games is not impossible.The recent Nintendo Game and Watch also offers some of this and can be hacked to play other games, but requires some hardware and console hacking to accomplish.There is a myriad of other portable consoles available with many of these same titles or that can accommodate NES and several other consoles that might be a more value-oriented choice.Overall, this is a functional gaming novelty that makes an OK phone case. If you're looking for something more, I'd suggest buying an actual gaming device.

THIS... IS AMAZING! (Despite a few downsides)
The media could not be loaded. Â This thing is amazing. have been using it for my daily driver for a whole month now. This thing runs GREAT! The buttons are responsive, the speaker works well, The buttons feel nice and overall is fun to use!But, there is a few setbacks.-The A and B buttons are swapped for some reason, but this has not bothered me at all.-The screen is made of PLASTIC. Now, this is fine on its own, but the screen will get abrasions if you use it for your daily driver. Plastic is much easier to get scratches then Glass / Tempered Glass will. Please make the screen Tempered Glass for future models, if you know... If that will ever happen. (Check Picture 3 for more detail)-There's only 3 volume levels (Not counting MUTE). This is fine by its own, but a Volume slider would be more useful, and can freely adjust the volume, but the 3 levels is fine by its own.Other than those small infractions. this thing rocks. Would definitely recommend!

How neat
Cute little case. Charge up. Place your phone cover on phone. Can play canes up to 2 hours or so before battery 🪫 dies down. Gotten lots of compliments. Will not protect the face of phone so not meant to protect. Good price

A really unique and fun case!
This case is too cute and so much fun. All of my son’s friends like to play it. The only issue is that he likes to put his phone in his pocket and that will pop a couple of buttons off. I was able to get them back on easily. It did not mess up the functionality. It really is a great case and would make a great gift!

For all the gameboy heads, this phonecase is a winner!!!

Nostalgic
I bought this case for a loved ones birthday and they have played the games since opening it. It did need a charge, but the only bad thing about that was not having the patience. This was a super affordable gift for someone who used to have a game boy. It definitely made their day and they often receive compliments on it. This gift was referred by a friend who also enjoys it.

Very disappointed with retailer
Opened gift Christmas morning. Plugged it in to charge. Within minutes my couch has a burn mark and the charger chord is destroyed.Submitted feedback December 25 and January 09, I have yet to receive anything from the supplier. No offer to replace the charging chord. On/Off Button has since started to come out. Would expect to hear something back as the item was opened Christmas morning.

No sirviĂł. Se desconociĂł al primer dĂa de uso.
The media could not be loaded.  Llegó ayer, lo probé en la noche, divertido y emocionante. Hoy en la mañana volvà a jugarlo y de la nada, la pantalla se pudo blanca y apenas se percibe el juego.Inicio devolución.

Horrible case
I got it yesterday and left it to charge and it won’t turn on. I’ve tried different chargers and it still won’t turn on. Won’t buy again. I don’t recommend spending the money on it. It also looks like it’s used, there is scratches on the screen and it didn’t have a protected layer on the screen when it delivered. Don’t waste your money.

Small
Too small and does not for

In Theorie besser als in der Praxis
Leider etwas enttäuschend. Die Tasten A und B sind vertauscht und im Display (Innenseite) ist ein schwarzer Fleck, der während dem Spielen stört.
