One stick, four buttons and a neon glow you can carry anywhere.

This gaming phone case puts Retro Joystick Glow, an original neon pixel joystick, on the back of your phone for retro gamers who grew up with one stick and a handful of buttons. Keep it as your everyday gamer phone case, or give it to the friend who still brings up the old console at every game night.

The design: a pixel joystick in neon outlines

Retro Joystick Glow draws a classic joystick the way an 8-bit screen would, in isometric view. A magenta ball top with a white highlight sits on a teal shaft that rises from concentric pink and teal rings, and the square base below is outlined in orange with blue sides and two short blue feet. Four small orange buttons line the front-left corner, and a tiny pixel icon sits on the right.

Hatched lines wrap the ball in pink and the base in teal, giving the whole stick a scanline glow, like a neon sign seen through an old tube screen. Two stacked lines of chunky orange-peach pixel lettering sit just right of the ball top. Everything is printed on a solid black back, with the joystick centered in the upper half and the lower third left plain black, so the magenta, teal and orange outlines stand out.

It's a bold neon pixel joystick design for anyone whose gaming story starts with arcade nostalgia: the stick you leaned into on the tight turns, the buttons you mashed a little too hard and the rounds that ended far too soon. Show off your retro style every time you set your phone down on the table.

Everyday protection with flexible, see-through edges

• Solid polycarbonate back, UV-printed in black with the joystick art
• Flexible, see-through polyurethane sides that make the case easy to take on and off
• A 0.5 mm raised bezel around the front edge

• Wireless charging compatible, so the case can stay on at the charging pad
• Helps protect your phone from scratches, dust, oil and dirt

Who it's for

Retro gamers, pixel-art fans and anyone who still owns a joystick older than their phone. It rides along to game nights, sits next to the keyboard during long sessions and comes out for photos at the arcade bar on a Friday night. Give it for a gamer friend's birthday, as a retro gamer gift at the holidays or as a thank-you to the player who taught you your first combo.

Quick answers

Which phones does it fit?

iPhone only. Pick your exact model in the menu, since each case is shaped for one phone: a 16 Pro case won't fit a 16 Pro Max. The SE option is made for the 2020 iPhone SE.

Does the glow light up in the dark?

No. The glow is drawn into the art with pixel hatching, so it's part of the print rather than a light source. The neon colors read clearly on the black back in daylight and under desk lamps alike.

Is the joystick copied from a real console?

No. It's original RaZits pixel art, drawn as a generic retro stick, with no console logo or game character anywhere on the case.

Anything to do before I put it on?

The case may arrive with a protective film on the inside. Peel it off before you put your phone in for the first time.
