"Apple&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Made for iPhone&amp;#039; program was recently extended to include specially-made game controllers for its smartphones. The first of these is the Moga Ace Power, which is designed to wrap around the outside of your iPhone and add proper analogue controls to your mobile gaming. While parts of it feel slightly cheap, the actual difference it makes to playing games on a smartphone is hard to ignore.  The Moga Ace in essence adds an Xbox 360 controller to your iPhone. The centre of the controller expands to fit your iPhone and shrinks back down for storage. It actually holds handsets rather snug and has a lock switch on the back, once your phone is in place, to further give the controller a solid feel. On one side of the centre of the controller is a Lightning connector, which does mean that it&amp;#039;s iPhone 5 or later only. This is obviously an issue if you use older generation 30-pin iPhones and iPod Touch devices. Then you have the controls themselves, which match up closely with any modern games console. The shoulders of the Moga have a pair of buttons on each side, including R2 and L2 triggers. The front features X,A,Y and B buttons, two flat analogue sticks and a D-Pad.  In practice, the controls actually operate rather well. The analogue shoulder keys make a huge difference to racing games like Trial Xtreme 3. Having a bit of finesse over controls changes things from that slightly clunky touch-based experience we are so used to while gaming on the iPhone. The big bonus, though, is the proper analogue sticks on the front. First-person shooters like Dead Trigger 2 become infinitely more playable than before. In fact, we have few problems with the feedback, control and setup of the Moga Power Ace. The issues arise when you see just how few titles are currently fully supported by the controller. There aren&amp;#039;t many, with a complete list available on Moga&amp;#039;s website. The other problem we have is with build quality. The Moga Power Ace features a built-in 1800 mAh battery, so that long gaming sessions don&amp;#039;t utterly drain your iPhone battery. However, actually connecting your iPhone to the Thunderbolt port involves jamming the handset into the controller.  Then there is the fingerprint-friendly gloss black plastic, which feels distinctly cheap against the brushed aluminium of an iPhone. The bottom line is that this controller makes iPhone gaming far, far better - but it&amp;#039;s not the nicest thing to pull out of your pocket and play with on the way home.
