iPhone Case With Gaming Control Pad [Prototype]

iPhone Case With Gaming Control Pad [Prototype]

Although iControlPad never materialized, gPod, an iPhone case with an integrating gaming control pad, hopes to see the light of day.

Interfacing with the Apple 30 pin connector and providing tactile buttons in the conventional game pad layout, the iPhone Game Pad allows a massive library of arcade and console games to be ported to the iPhone and not loose that old school interface that people who grew up in the 80′s and 90′s enjoyed so much.

A proof of concept working prototype was produced to suit the original iPhone and is shown in the video below. A refined design has been developed to suit the iPhone 3G and 3GS.

Let see the other one was 3 years in the making, wonder if they will have one by the time the iPhone isn't outdated.

I would buy this if it fitted my iPhone 4. I think its a great idea. But what games can u play with this control pad?

I agree. Great idea. Just need to hurry and make ones that fit the 3G(S) and iPhone 4. I'd buy one for my i4 for when I Jailbreak and want to play all my NES/SNES/GEN/PSX/N64 games on it.

Hopefully they are working on models for the 3G/3GS and iP4 as well or it looks like they are about 3 years too late on that design.
