Summary
$24.99 is the starting price for BitmoLab’s refreshed GAMEBABY case, which adds a new translucent version and turns an iPhone into a retro-gaming controller with physical buttons.
The two-piece case works without batteries, Bluetooth or pairing: users flip the bottom half onto the screen, where capacitive contacts line up with a free custom skin in the Delta emulator app.
The translucent model is a limited run of 500 units for the iPhone 17 Pro Max and is sold only through BitmoLab’s website, while other versions support iPhone 15 Pro and newer on Amazon and BitmoLab.
BitmoLab’s design keeps setup simple and costs low, but the tradeoff is no MagSafe support and no camera control cover, underscoring its focus on lightweight retro play over full-featured case extras.
