(Even if you happen to have a glass protector, which was a big upgrade from previous versions). We have more details about it for you here as it's currently on sale for $40.

GameBaby Gaming Case for iPhone 17

Building on the success of previous models, this new version features an enhanced design and additional color options while maintaining the signature flip-to-play functionality that instantly transforms smartphones into retro gaming handhelds. The iPhone 17 series GameBaby case introduces two signature color schemes: the vibrant GameBaby Color​ (classic yellow-and-white edition) and the retro-inspired GameBaby Retro​ (gray-and-white edition). The latter features a gray-and-white base with deep red A/B buttons, recreating the iconic design of the 1989 GameBoy and evoking nostalgia for the golden age of pixelated gaming. The latest generation introduces significant structural and functional refinements:

  • New Clasp Mechanism: A mid-frame clasp ensures tighter integration of the two-piece design, delivering smoother detachment and more secure protection.
  • Upgraded Button Layout: The original D-pad has been upgraded to separated directional buttons, reducing input interference and enhancing operational precision.
  • Refined Tactile Performance: The underlying conductive silicone structure has been optimized to maintain consistent feedback and responsiveness, even with a screen protector installed.
