Touchscreen controls cover the game you're trying to see and give your thumbs nothing to find. BandController gives you a tactile D-pad and face buttons with real travel and click — and each press passes straight through to the screen the same way your finger does. Your hands know where they are without looking, the screen stays clear, and the controls feel native because, to the phone, they are.

Each band grips the glass and peels off clean. Slide your phone in landscape, press the bands to the sides, and you're playing — no pairing screen, no firmware update, no dead battery. Because there's nothing to power, it's ready every single time you pick it up.
// 30-second setup, always charged
The bands are flat and open — no telescoping arm, no grip cradle, nothing covering the screen, the cameras, or the ports. Every feature and gesture works exactly as before, so you can leave them on for weeks or months at a time and use your phone normally. Or peel them off in a second when you want your flagship bare again.
// full phone functionality, bands on or off
Dedicated handhelds sell you a screen, a chip, and a battery you have to keep alive. Your flagship phone already beats most of them on all three — and carries a library no single handheld can match. One thing was missing.
