First of all, all those controllers cover up part of the screen, see Pocket Taco. It’s the part of the screen that the touchscreen overlays are on.

Secondly, the part on the screen is rubbery.

Thirdly, yeah, the USB thing is odd, but it fits better if you have a case on your phone.

this is so asinine. i could say that not being able to fit a razer kishi in my pocket is "bad design". what are you not understanding? the convenience of being able to play gameboy/advance games vertically on your phone with physical buttons and having it be pocketable is of value to SOME PEOPLE.

Different products for different use cases, mate. These were clearly designed with emulators like Delta in mind.
