Playing games on the mobile can be extremely tiring for both hands after a couple hours, which is why the Tunewear GameHandle 2 will help the avid gamer.

The Tunewear GameHandle 2 is essentially a case that transforms the mobile into a controller. The overall design looks a lot like the [Playstation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elo-vagabond) controllers, so this will be a plus for any owner of a PS2 or PS3. The GameHandle is designed to bring a more comfortable gaming experience. The exterior is covered with a high-quality rubber coating that will provide a better grip and prevent the hand from slipping away. Inside the body is an internal sound cavity system that amplifies audio through vents in the back.

The GameHandle 2 is compatible with the [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-gaming-controller) and [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinypod) touch.
