The Verdict: Exspect iPhone Protective Gaming Grip Review

0 Comments

Ever since game developers came to the Apple iPhone portable platform, people have been hampered by the touch controls for some games.  I’ve found especially for driving games and where you need to hold the device in the landscape orientation, problems can arise.  The Exspect iPhone Protective Gaming Grip is one on the market giving the device a perfect case aimed at the gaming market.  Does it withstand the use for gaming then or does it just get in the way?

Well the case really changes the way you play games full stop.  It is a mile ahead of using my other case, the Incase Slider for instance.  The Exspect Protective gaming grip is ergonomically brilliant and the grips are in the right place at the rear of the case.  I just have not seen any other iPhone aimed cases like this and is adequate for gaming on the go or at home.  Another advantage is that as much as it is a gaming case, it also satisfies the basic needs of an iPhone user as well.  It fits both the iPhone 3G/3GS as well as the iPod Touch 2G.  So with this, the gaming grip also has all the buttons/ports accessible thus not hampering your demands.  When you feel the case it is lightweight however there is significant reinforcement on the back especially at the ‘leg’ areas but it is debatable how much of a challenge this would provide to a proper iPhone hard case.  Saying that I think it would do a good job the majority of the time.

Obviously this case is aimed at the gaming market and these grips can mean that in everyday use it can be uncomfortable to carry around.  For instance in trousers, especially jeans, the case adds larger thickness making it stand out more.  It doesn’t really add weight just the fact is nearly doubles the thickness of the iPhone which may not be really wanted but thats the pay off you take for getting a better gaming experience.

So the Exspect iPhone Protective Gaming Grip does exactly what it needs to and that is to make gaming more comfortable and easier on the device.  There are the limitations mainly in the added size to the iPhone but if you are after that extra gaming dimension then for between £5 and £15 you can try this special device.

Life Upgrade: YouTube Partner and Ordered the Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 HD camcorder

I’ve been through many camcorders on my channel so far. The FS100 has provided many great videos but I felt the step up to HD was necessary and I plunged for the Kodak Zx1 pocket HD Camcorder. This was amazing however was limited by its main selling point -- being compact. So I’ve decided to go for the Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 and go up another gear. Lets hope it works out!

Exspect Xbox 360 Gaming Headset Unboxing

If you’ve ever played Xbox Live you’ll know the value of using a headset, especially in team games. Not only does it make the game easier but also a lot more fun…as long as there is no screaming kid down the other end. Exspect have sent me their version to unbox and review but will Exspect’s headset at a lower price live up to the quality of the Microsoft alternative?
