My solution was to just print a thing that I could clip to my preferred Bluetooth controller and hold my phone in place.
I just use a DualSense but this makes me want to design one around a pair of Switch joycons.

@Kolanaki Take a look at https://github.com/SiloCityLabs/Cuttlephone - it's an OpenSCAD parametric design where you "just" need to measure your phone correctly and then render and print it. That's how I did mine. It has support for hard cases (PLA, PETG and so on), soft cases (TPU), Junglecat controller and Switch JoyCons.
Ooo... It even uses the rails. I was gonna be way less sophisticated (and end up using more filament) lol
Could be worse. You could have the Moto Gamepad Mod, which only supports one phone. (Well, three if you want to count all three generations of the Moto Z series phones.)
Yes, I have one. Why do you ask...?
@dual_sport_dork Should still work with some custom 3D printed adapter, shouldn't it? But it definitely looks harder to create the adapter than a case.
Negative, unless your phone has the connector pads on the back for Moto Mods, which only the Z series has. The controller has no other way to connect to a phone.
I actually make junglecat cases for the Samsung z fold series!
I plan to make more for other phones too.
I sell my stls and prints https://frogcase.store/products/z-fold-3-junglecat-controller-case
These controllers are super cheap since the 3 phones it works with are so old now. You can get them for like $30!
