The iControlPad is a wireless game controller compatible with a variety of smartphones, tablets, and personal computers. It is designed for use as either a standalone gamepad or attached to appropriately sized devices, such as the iPhone, using a clamp system.[2] Due to this, the iControlPad is able to add traditional physical gaming controls to devices which otherwise rely on inputs such as touchscreens and accelerometers.[3]

Naturally, you'll still be able to take advantage of anything on the touchscreen [...] using the accelerometer, but having "real" gaming controls is a great option as well.
