This review is from: CTA Digtal Rechargeable Stereo Speaker Controller Grip for iPhone and iPod touch - Black/Red (Electronics)
This thing is massive. If I try to hold it like a normal controller, my thumbs can barely reach the screen. My right thumb is so limited that it makes it nearly impossible to play fps games. I end up having to hold it normally on the left side, but putting my hand in an awkward position on the right side to allow my thumb to easily reach the screen with enough mobility to play the games.
I would say the redeeming factor is the stand and speakers, except that the stand is pretty useless. It gives you the option to either lay the phone flat, or almost flat. You still have to be well above the phone looking down on it even with the stand. I expected it would hold the phone a little more upright.
Due to it's enormous size, lack of portability (not something you can shove in your pocket), uncomfortable feel, and fairly useless stand.. I have to say I am very disappointed with my purchase. It might be useful to have the speakers and the ability to recharge, but to me it is rendered useless by the drawbacks. This thing sucks.
