Gadget review: The Gaming Grip

By Steve Wollaston on Jul 24, 09 12:51 PM

The popularity of gaming on the iPhone is on the increase, developers like EA and Konami are targeting gamers with some very solids versions of their games purely for phone.

To capitalise on the increase in mobile gaming Exspect have released the Gaming Grip - a high-grade silicone cover for your iPhone.

Why? Well - it is contoured especially to help even the sweatiest palms to enjoy some comfortable 'on the train' gaming.

Gaming on the iPhone is potentially great - the standards of the games are getting better but it has to be said that it is tricky to play them.

This new little cover eradicates that awkwardness and I was very very impressed with the one that was sent to me.

It fits around your phone but has cut-outs for the screen and main iPhone buttons, it basically transforms your phone to make it feel like a handheld-console.

It is also great protection for your phone should you drop it! I loved the design and I think despite its very chunky persona it looks really sophisticated.

A huge help with gaming whether you are playing landscape or upright, I honestly don't see me removing my case anytime soon.

The Gaming Grip from Exspect will be available via Amazon costing £14.99.
