Marware Game Grip Provides Handles for iPhone Gaming

by Engadget Staff on November 3, 2008 at 10:19 AM


We've seen a few accessories for augmenting the gaming experience on the iPhone that would give the device awesome functions similar to a game controller, such as the elusive and yet-to-materialize iControlPad and the totally fake JoyPod.

Well, Marware's Game Grip is sort of like that -- silicone sleeves that your phone fits into -- except that it doesn't actually do anything beyond providing 'handles' for your phone while you game. Oh, and it exists. So let's refer to it as the 'enjoyment enabler' of your iPhone 3G or iPod touch 2G that can be used with headphones (just like normal), can be charged while gaming (just like normal), and has a 'cord management system' (kind of not normal).

If that's not enough to convince you to reach for your wallet, the "lifetime guarantee" and ludicrously zany look of the thing will probably get you to bite... it's $49.99 and available for pre-order right now.
