Apple’s iPhone isn’t exactly a console, but it might do better if it had some actual physical inputs and stuff like this just doesn’t make it a gamer’s best friend. Sure, it has the touchscreen and tilt sensors, but without some buttons and a D-pad, the average gamer finds it hard.

Well, gamers have something to celebrate as the iControlPad case for the iPhone is heading to production. This is the final prototype. When released, it will be in black and those holes will have buttons for mashing. No word on any ship dates or even a price.

It probably won’t do much for the iPhone’s gaming reputation, but it’s a start.
