If you’re using Backbone One (2nd Gen)

In your Backbone’s box, you’ll find your controller with pre-installed adapters and another set of adapters inside the lid. These adapters connect to your Backbone with a magnetic lock so you can swap or remove them anytime. Here’s the complete list of compatible cases we’ve tested so far.

Compatible Peel Cases for iPhone 12 or earlier:

Best Cases for iPhone 13 & 14 Series:

Quick-remove cases: Backbone One pairs best with silicone cases that can be easily removed and put on again in less than 2 seconds. Our top recommendation is Apple's iPhone 13 and 14 silicone case lineup. Unsurprisingly, Apple-engineered cases offer excellent protection, a wide range of colors, and can be adjusted in seconds.

Compatible Peel Cases for Android Devices:

We haven't forgotten about our Android fans! Our Partnership with Peel extends to many Android models. You can pick up a case today HERE.
