Bitmo Lab brings a touch of nostalgia with a special retro phone case dubbed the GameBaby. It is a progressive design that celebrates vintage games and is sectioned into two parts. It is a case that slides onto the phone from the top and the bottom. The main difference is that the bottom half can be flipped around and look like handheld consoles -- specifically it honors the GameBoy which is the inspiration.
The buttons cover the lower half of the phone which also simultaneously offers input without lagging of wireless connectivity or battery. Overall, it delivers a more tactile experience, and slide the case off and flip it to the back when it isn't in use.
