The first Gamevice product appeared as a strange hybrid gaming tablet in 2014. More interestingly, the first Gamevice controller for iOS only supported the iPad mini and was launched in 2015, with versions for the iPhone and larger iPad models later that year. Overall, the Gamevice line of controllers has been one of the few to connect directly to a device’s Lightning port rather than Bluetooth, and it seems to have become a popular option over the years for those who wanted a fast and stable controller for their iOS device. Of course, a controller that supports a device in this way could become problematic if the size or shape of a new model no longer matches the dimensions of the controller, or if you prefer to use a case on your device. These are issues that Gamevice hopes to address with its Gamevice Flex announced overnight.
Here is the Gamevice Flex
Nowadays, with the price of iPhones, few users do without a good cover to ensure the longevity of their device. However, having to take a case off and on just to use something like a gamepad can be inconvenient enough to cut off any desire to play.
The Gamevice Flex for iPhone offers a seamless transition from console to mobile. Use the Flex Adapter Kit to create a custom fit for your phone with the case. Hall-effect triggers and full-size joysticks will allow you to easily transfer your console skills to your cell phone. Improved ergonomics will allow you to play longer, comfortably, wherever you are. Use your existing headset to plug into the 3.5mm audio jack for latency-free audio and complement your console gaming experience to suit your lifestyle.Stream and play hit titles like Fortnite and more with leading cloud gaming services including Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Stadia, GeForce NOW and Amazon Luna. Play the latest native mobile games from Apple Arcade and the App Store, including Apex Legends Mobile, Diablo Immortal, Call of Duty Mobile, Genshin Impact, Minecraft and many more.
The objective of the Gamevice Flex is therefore clear, to satisfy everyone. If you are used to cases and you do not want to bother placing your device in a controller, here is certainly THE solution. There are versions for iOS and Android and you can pre-order them today on the Gamevice site. The Android USB-C version retails for $99.95 and will ship in October, while the iOS version will cost $109.95, presumably because it needs to be MFi-certified, and will ship in September. We can’t wait to try the new Gamevice Flex!
