Product Description
UtorCase turns your PS4 controller and your Amazon Kindle Fire HD into a handheld game console by mounting the phone on the controller. Also, you can conveniently use second screen apps that support landscape mode with UtorCase. (According to my research Amazon Kindle Fire HD does not support USB OTG out of the box required for Android gaming, but you may have a chance to enable it with root access. For a list of phones that have out of the box USB OTG support click here).
Requirements:
In addition to UtorCase, you will also need the following items (excluded from your Shapeways purchase!):
- Amazon Kindle Fire HD with USB OTG or USB Host enabled (Amazon
)
- PS4 Controller (Amazon
)
- USB OTG cable for Android gaming (Female USB to Male Micro USB) (Amazon
)
- Games that support the Android Gamepad API (I started here a list that you can edit as well)
Before you purchase:
Please make sure you can connect your Amazon Kindle Fire HD and your PS4 controller with a USB OTG Cable. On the Utor Case Questions and Answers page, I collected common issues that you may face while trying to connect your controller with your Amazon Kindle Fire HD
