I wanted to ask the same question....i think this is made to fit pretty much any phone as it extends....I would be interested to see if it extends enough to fit a 10 inch tablet in between,,,,,that would be nice :)

UK release date unknown atm


It's more about the blockiness of the RP that worries me. The kishi looks like it's tailored more for rounded off phones and that makes me think it won't fit.

I get an email about so much bullish from Razer, yet the one thing I been waiting for ages for gets released and I don't hear ISH!

Downside seems to be a) no built in battery to charge phone while u play, and b) not portable enough to use as a case....

...ok just ordered one - be perfect to use for moonlight game streaming!!!

No RP1? Seriously??? Razer why you do not support your products?

Its like when they brought out those cases a couple months ago - i logged in and found they were only for iphones, oneplus's and samsungs....wtf man - i think its a disgrace.

Lucky i have RP2 - but how can they suport galaxy and other makes before thye cover all their own gaming phones?? I still have my RP1 - the one with the green logo which i dont want to sell and it would be nice if this supported that so if i sold my RP2 i could still use this controller.

However its looking more likely i will sell my RP1 and keep the RP2....

few differences? are you kidding?

1) The screen on the RP1 can hardly be seen in sunshine - the RP2 is so much brighter - i think almost double!!

2) wireless charging - this is not a deal-breaker but still important

3) water proof - RP2 is waterproof - just like all the other phones in 2018 were...

4) Chroma logo lighting - One of Razers signature things- this is also important as it can be used for notifications as well

5) The camera - jesus the camera on the RP1 is garbage man - the RP2 camera aint the best but its so much better than the RP1

6) Bluetooth 5.0 not 4.0 like RP1

There we have 6 MASSIVE differences between RP1 and RP2 - perhaps you were not aware of these differences and now you are.....i think now you will want the RP2 LOL

So mine arrived yesterday - aint had much of a chance to try em out - this busy life we lead...

however a couple of things annoying:

1) Cant charge your phone while playing games with the controllers. It strikes me that for such a heavy price tag i think the case should have included a USB C connection to the phone so that the right controller had some sort of physicall input to the phone - the benefit of this would be two-fold - a) it would be able to connect to the phone without bluetooth and b) we could charge the phone THROUGH the USB C case connection

2) The case isnt that good and doesnt serv well as an every-day case - which means it loses portability -you will have to carry the case and the 2 controllers with you if you dont want to use the case it comes with as an every-day case. One thing i noticed is the case it comes with is nowhere near as good as the carbon case i have which has a lip to protect the phone - this has no lip.

3) No hole for the RP2 chroma logo light to shine through - strikes me as an obvious oversight - cant believe they left this out

I will report back with more info the more i use it


Yeah On the Case, it's a total oversight that they blocked the logo. Maybe a cost cutting measure, but odd coming from Razer. I wouldn't use the case as an every day driver, just when I want to Game. not much protection in my opinion from those cases.

All these 3 means it's better to DIY the case.
Hope there's official 3D model available so we could use for modification.


Modding the case will only be able to change point 3.... maybe point 2 as well....to creat a lip.

So has someone of you who already got the Junglecat been able to test it with a RP1 ? I would love to have feedback from ppl who have tried it!
Thank you so much!
See you, Asten

would be interesting - the case is made for RP2 however the RP1 is slightly smaller so can fit - only issue is the placement of charging port and camera lenses...

I'm think to include a OTA cable like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HBSQMGM in the case.

It can't be used as daily case anyway. For RP1, as I see the phone would just drop from the case when facing down. As NK.33 mentioned, it doesn't work well with RP2 either, so not a lose for RP1. Meanwhile, if it can't be used as daily case, it's not a issue for camera lenses since you don't need that when playing the game. I don't see charging port has different placement, but you can't use it while playing game anyway.
In general, no DIY is needed specifically for RP1 since RP2 case is already bad enough... I have some other issues with Junglecat so far and I may want to post that later. Hold the idea of DIY unless I could solve other issues first.

I posted my issues so far here.
/issues-with-junglecat-so-far.53023/
I hope Razer could help solve them. Some of the issues I need to test more, and may contact tech support directly. However, would like to know if any other user has same issue as mine.

I want to get one. I'm a few silver short of a $10 discount code, was saving up to get ten bucks off the chroma wireless charger but this would be a much cooler accessory for my RP2. Fingers crossed that the wife approves...

Picked one up today for a Galaxy Note 9. Pull it out of the box...it doesn't feel great...but once one of only 3 phones are in the phone specific case....and You load the controllers...and figure out that controller 1 pairs to the phone and controller 2 pairs to controller 1...so it only actually uses one bluetooth slot....so You can have bluetooth audio at the same time....it sings. Are the buttons where You want them....maybe...maybe not....but they click with precision....and You can fix it.

Do I love it. Yeah....it's OK

Why, though, isn't this thing one of those spreader units? Sure...I'm livin' the life...but this thing should have been expandable...with that little centerblock to stick in if You were use it as an external low latency BT mini controller.

So. I got Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. Will razer support more phones with this product later on? Is there any official statement to this? 😮 It would be fun if I could buy the controllers and the case separately. For example, it would be nice to buy just new compatible case when buy a new phone. I usually change my phone at least once a year, so it would be awesome, if Razer made more compatible cases for different phones.

Definitely a good shout to be able to buy tue cases separately...

Changing phone once a year these days I feel is excessive given the relative specs dont change much

If you buy an RP1 or RP2 you definitely won't need to change that often as the phones are so powerful they will never lag for years.

Final thoughts. If You think for one second You may be able to make this work with sumpin' other than the three phones cases it comes with....God bless You. I happen to have a Note 9....and my gaming life is pretty much cherry now. Is good.

Jeeeezus is GTA fun with this.

looks cool. What about people who want to play mobile how it was meant to be played (no controller). maybe just make some grips with a cooler for comfort and long gaming sessions.

When I have this thing out...it is amazing how many people ask me about it.

I got mine today! =D

It was crazy because it had said for days that it was expected next week, then I looked this morning and it had changed to "out for delivery", and below that "signature required"... Gah! So I rushed home and waited to ambush the fedex guy. I really needed to crap, but I held it until the darn truck finally showed up in the driveway an hour later. "Thank god!" I rushed out to sign and grab my prize. First time I've ever been in a bigger hurry than the person delivering a package, but I had something else I needed to deliver to the porcelain throne..

So anyways, lucky for all of you I don't have any unboxing-from-the-toilet video, but that's definitely what happened, and then I played Asphalt 8 until both my legs fell asleep and I'd maybe still be sitting there now but eventually I needed to charge the phone.

Great day guys, absolutely great day.

I have a question. I have this with one-handed controller, with it work with Razer Junglecat? I also have my phone, Samsung S10+, as well. I have disabled, so it's hard to find one-handed controller. Thanks.

one more thing i noticed - even with the razer Gamepad app installed there is no way to tell how much battery is left on these things until they start flashing red or whatever - then its probably to late - or u are in a swamp somewhere with not usb!!

I am using the battery levels to gauge recharge in the app user/account menu ~100hrs is a long time
I have about 12-15hrs on the initial charge.
Also, since the app update Friday, I haven't launched from the app due to app crash from trying to connect to Google play with the overlay option.

I'm really excited about the update that just came to the gamepad app, being able to overlay and map inputs for unsupported games is fantastic, I had two unsupported games with really simple input that I was missing out on playing now I will get to play them with the Junglecat.

I also have a pocket drone that you fly via phone app with simple thumb controls and I haven't tried it yet but I'm 99% sure this is going to enable me to fly my drone via the Junglecat, which is going to be sweeeeet!

With the overlay ability I feel like I got my monies worth now for sure!
