From the name, you&#8217;d expect a Bluetooth game controller or something similar, but in actuality the GamePad is a little simpler &#8211; but no less useful &#8211; than that. The GamePad is instead just a physical adaptation, adding some much needed controller-style handles to your smartphone. This makes it a lot more comfortable to hold your phone during long gameplay sessions.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nFYMmaQvjBA\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The GamePad works due to the use of Clingo&#8217;s trademark sticky substance to temporarily adhere your smartphone to the top of the Game Pad. You just stick it on, then pull it off to remove it &#8211; simple. The generous spacing at the top of the pad ensures that it can be used with any smartphone, from the iPhone, to Androids, Windows Phones and even BlackBerrys.<\/p>\n<p>The Clingo material is extremely strong and yet doesn&#8217;t leave any residue behind. It stays sticky for a long time, and you can use plain old water to remove any bits of fluff that get stuck to it over time.\u00a0It&#8217;s pretty remarkable stuff, so you can see why Clingo have spun it into a full range of products, including a lot of Mobile Fun favourites like the \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/clingo-universal-tablet-stand-35670\">Clingo Universal Tablet Stand<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/clingo-universal-vent-mount-25791\">Clingo Vent Mount<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/om1Qu-wxMnE\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, back to \u00a0the Game Pad. It&#8217;s a nice way of getting that traditional controller stance on your mobile. A lot of mobiles are a bit awkward to hold for gaming, so it&#8217;s nice to have the option to add the grip where you need it. And since it isn&#8217;t an actual controller &#8211; you&#8217;ll still be using the on-screen touch controls &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t ever need to be plugged in, recharged or have the batteries changed.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, if you&#8217;re looking for a cheap way to add a bit of comfort and flexibility to your portable gaming sessions, then the Clingo Game Pad is just what you need.
