Gamepad-like Stick-On Buttons for iPhone / smartphone replicate the feel of a real game control-pad

Good news for iPhone / smartphone gamers, a Japanese company has released Tactile+Plus - stick-on plastic nubbins that stick onto your touch screen device to mimic the feel of the buttons on a game pad. While the iPhone is pictured with Street Fighter, the sticker should work on any smartphone. By putting them on your iPhone / other smartphone’s screen where the touchscreen buttons are, it's expected to enhance your experience of playing touchscreen mobile games. You'll feel the bumps on the stickers when you punch away in games that support the vibrate feature. However, the controls may not be in the same place for different games. No word on how long will these stick-on buttons last and if they can be re-used once they are removed. The Tactile+Plus can already be ordered from Japan with a price tag of ¥630, which is about $7.80.
