Unlike other mobile controllers that need to be attached separately, GameBaby also functions as a phone case,
allowing users to conveniently switch between regular phone use and gaming mode without having to carry additional accessories.
The case is split into two parts. When gaming, the bottom half of the case sits on the front of the iPhone, partially covering the screen and adding physical navigation
buttons and keys that emulate handheld game consoles like the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and NES.
When not gaming, the bottom half of the case can be moved to the back of the phone, turning it into a regular phone case.

Instead, it uses capacitive touch controls to operate. Bitmo Labs has designed the accessory to be compatible with the Delta emulator,
the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max, ensuring it can handle a wide range of console emulator interfaces.
The GameBaby starts at $20 for the first 1,000 orders, then goes up to $25. It is expected to be released in October. After the pre-order period, the GameBaby will officially cost $39.99.
