[Q] Game pad side controllers - S20 Ultra too big to fit in these? - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories

I was looking for gaming accessories like the Saitake 7007X, but most of the manufacturers of this kind of device list a max of 6.5 in, and the S20 Ultra is listed as 6.57 inches
Does anyone have Saitake 7007X or other similar gamepad accessory that they like and confirmed works with the S20 Ultra's size?

Here you go.
It is a very! tight squeeze. It wouldn't fit on with my Spigen case on.
Works fine without it though .

S20 Ultra has specs: 76x166.9x8mm, so as long as the bracket can hold those dimensions (esp. the 166.9 length), it should work, right?
I know they make some of those controllers for smaller tablets, too - so maybe those.
I want to pick a set up, but waiting for other people to recommend something.
I'm using 8BitDo gamepad w/ the phone holder bracket for now, but the phone being so heavy throws off the comfortable balance since the gamepad is so skinny and light.

Keyboard case recommendation

I picked up the GNP 12.2 relatively "cheap" for $449 refurbished by Samsung as a easy, portable laptop replacement for my HP2000. All I really do away from my desktop is email, web browsing, Facebook, Tapatalk, Youtube, Netflix, and a handful of things that Android handles well, and it works great.
My current case is a $15 eBay cheapy that I am not happy with... What I am looking for is a recommendation for a case that has a keyboard and can be used as a plain tablet case in your hand, lap, or stand up on a table w/o the keyboard, about 50/50 usage each way, without completely swapping cases.
I was hoping for an option under $50 and was looking at the Khomo keyboard case with swivel or a Moko BT keyboard case on Amazon.
Any recommendations on something else or anyone using either of these cases?

I can highly recommend the Logitech Keyboard pro. Ok. It's expensive but it's worth every cent!
Have a look at youtube, there is a test.
I am very happy with my Logitech pro KB.
In combination with the Logitech ultrathin touch mouse the Galaxy is a perfekt office.
For keyboard cases specially designed for the Note Pro, the Logitech is great.
Still, I would love to have a keyboard with trackpad since many times the combination of Keyboard and touch screen is very inefficient and I don't want to carry a mouse.
There are generic Chinese cases with keyboard and trackpad but they look cheap to me (not only in the price).
Asus has a great BT piece called ASUS Transleeve Keyboard 90XB00HP-BKB090 or 90XB00HP-BSL070 that comes with a folding cover to place the tablet at the correct angle but I don't know if it will fit the Note Pro well.
Also, the keyboard is intended for a Windows tablet so maybe the multimedia keys will not function properly in Android.

Sony PS4 remote play controller adapter/mount

Just wondering if anyone has had experience using something like this on their Z3/Z3C or other phone? Looks like it would work ok and much cheaper than the Sony one (and available now).
I can't really justify paying ~$50 for the Sony one as that's money that could go towards another game

wont the suction cups on the holder tend to be tight? my wry is that constant removal n usage will cause the back glass to come out

I dont think the back will come off that easily as it will be glued together strong enough to make the phone waterproof

I have this one and it works pretty well.
dereffy use
How does the remote play work? If using the PS4 controller while mounting the Z3 on there, wouldn't that be uncomfortably heavy over long sessions?
The support for remote play isn't even here yet.... Bleh. Nyko makes a good controller clip for the phone.
I've had the Nyko one since Feb (txting during games). Works great.
there is a store on amazon selling the nyko one brand new for $12.95 shipped. I hopped on the deal and so did my friend. Have not gotten it yet so can't yet confirm 100% on its legitimacy. seller seems reputable however.

Just noticed that the clip you've shown is for the PS3 controller. I don't think it would fit round a Dualshock 4.
I can also confirm that the Nyko clip is great and works quite well.
cheapest Nyko clip for PS4 I can find is $18.50 here
It does look good though and possibly a better hold for the Z3
The clamp cups the device quite well. It holds it perfectly.

Looks good. 1 question though: it seems that the clamps are right around the power button and volume rocker. Doesn't it interfere with them?
I don't have any issues with it interfering with the buttons. The pressure of the mechanism isn't all that strong, it really just holds the lips down around the edges of the device. Like I said it works well and I've used it with a note3 and a ps vita with no issues. The vita was a bit fat for the clamp but it worked okay.

Cheap one for you Americans.
Anyone know if these are avaliable in the UK? The postage works out at £30+ so this is not really viable.
EDIT: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/351211776498?nav=SEARCH
Works out at £15.51 delivered to NI but delivery is estimated between 8th and 18th of November. Do we have any idea when the GCM10 is expected to launch?
I think this clip might actually work better though, don't like the look of the suction cup on the official one.
It looks ugly as hell, but if it works and it's cheap.. why not?

Keyboard?

Hi
I'm looking into getting a keyboard for my Note 12.2. I currently have the Samsung book cover and it does what it says and works fine. However I can't decide between a keyboard case or a separate keyboard. My requirements are possibly too much to ask from one device though as most nights I watch stuff on it in bed (not that sort of stuff ) and need to be able to hold it comfortably with the cover behind the tablet.
The one thing I don't like about the book cover is the way it stands up. It's very unstable and to be honest, not suitable to use with a separate keyboard. So if I went with a separate one, I'd need to get a cover/case that supported the tablet much better in landscape orientation standing up.
The keyboard case I was looking at was the Logitech Pro Case. Seems nice but how does it feel when the keyboard is behind so you can hold the tablet? Does it add much weight also?
Any ideas or photos of your set up would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Andy
Too good to be true??

I got the Wedge keyboard, and I bet Amazon has plenty of those used. I wished I waited to get mine from Amazon instead of buying it at full price at Staples. Great build quality, never once failed when using it for either my mac or tablet, and has portability. But any bluetooth keyboard pretty much does the same thing, though it depends on what you want.
If you want portability, get the Wedge Keyboard.
But if you want a bigger keyboard, I bet there are plenty. I've never heard of a keyboard case like the surface covers, but those would be a cool thing.
I have the Logitech cover with keyboard. It is very well designed and pretty comfortable. Its only disadvantage is weight - it weights about the same as the tablet itself.

I prefer a separate bluetooth keyboard. So I've got a Logitech K810. It's exactly the same width as the tablet, so they fit together nicely in a sleeve. Excellent build quality, battery lasts for months and the keys are very responsive (as expected from Logitech's high-end line. It is 100 quid, after all.)
I also prefer a separate keyboard, picked up a used Belkin fsl114 (10 inch wide) for almost nothing that is outstanding. Believe it was in an Ipad case. We use extensively on another tablet and lasts quite a long while. Not quite full sized, about 3/4 size.

I got RAPOO E6700 and with Xposed Additions I'm more than happy with it.
In mobile situations I use Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard, in the Office I use the full size Speedlink Athera Bluetooth Keyboard.
Thanks for all the advice, I'll be looking for a separate keyboard now I've got a decent folio case.
Is there any way to remove the magnets from the Logitech case? Or does anyone know of a keyboard case without magnets?
I really don't want anything to mess up the S-pen functionality and really don't like magnets in general when it comes to proximity to electronics.
The magnets in the Logitech case does not affect the S-pen functionality. Magnets do not affect electronics unless you use a really powerful magnet like the ones used in lifting cars in a junk yard.
However, normal magnets may affect floppy disks by erasing the magnetic part of the disk but who uses those anymore?
Most good speakers have a powerful electromagnet in them and you don't ever hear of those causing any issues with electronic stuff. In my office those speakers are within inches of my laptop and never any issues.

It's not about electronics. The Spen sensor itself is magnetic. Introducing another magnet into the magnetic field of the Spen disrupts the field.
Maybe, but the magnet in the Logitech keyboard does not affect my Spen in my Note Pro 12.2. Is it affecting yours?

Logitech has put a bit of protective material between the tablet and the case in their Note cases. The issue affected all Spen devices.
Cheaper cases, however, don't have that addition.
So annoying that the best keyboard case out there has these. It's a well known fact that magnets disrupt SPen. A clasp would have been fine. Which is why I bought the Speck Folio. And I'm probably going to buy a standalone K810 keyboard. Even if it's way less compact.
Really satisfied with my Logitech keyboard/case combo, the ability to switch layouts (I'm using canadian french) makes it perfect for the job. I'm also using a bluetooth mouse to get the most of it. Add a USB OTG dongle and you get pretty everything you need for a laptop replacement.
The only setback, like the others said, there's no magnet to shutdown the screen when closing the case.
I bought it on ebay for about 60$ which is well worth it.
I had a device with Wacom pen (it was an e-book reader) with cover that had a magnet in it - what it did is it destroyed the pen. The screen still works with another Wacom pen, but the pen that I had with the device is broken and draws only on parts of the screen. So now I avoid any covers with magnets.
I have had the Logitech since I bought the tablet 7 months ago and no problems at all.

Been using my logi keyboard for 9 months myself, no magnetic dividing by zero so far...
...turns out logitech isn't some one off company that just throws **** together all willy nilly...

[Q] Cases that work well with iPega 9023?

I have personal experience of two cases, the official one (which was flimsy and broke after 2 months from wear and tear), and the Poetic Revolution full body case, which I love the protection it provides but it makes the tablet too big for the iPega 9023 controller. The tablet is mainly for emulation gaming on the go, so I essentially turn it into a gaming handheld using the iPega. But as its on the go, it needs protection, at least for the screen.
Is there any cases out there which provide suitable protection while at the same time allowing the device to still fit in the iPega 9023?

I think its hard to find one. I assumed the official cover (being just a cover for the screen, and very thin) would do the trick.
I have a ProCase SlimSnug and I detach my tablet from the case to play with the ipega 9023.
I think it's very hard that you could find a case to use with the ipega, because it'd have to be a very thin case for the back and a very very thin cover for the front.
If someone comes with a case that you can use with the ipega, count me in.

Question S23 Ultra Mobile Gaming Setup

Thought I would drop this here as well since we're all looking for things to do with our shiny new phones.
Album Link:
https://imgur.com/a/OvQVyxK
I have a few different controllers that work great with my S23 Ultra and thought I would share.
My favorite is the MOGA XP5-X controller. Great quality and the phone lip it includes is really nice.
Second would be my XBox One Elite Series 2 controller with the Amazon Luna Controller Phone Clip (yes, this clip fits XBox One Controllers without issue). It's not as versatile as the MOGA clip, but works great. For $14.99, it's a cheap solution to get nice controller to work with Mobile Gaming on the go.
The GameSir is really nice. I originally bought it for my Z Fold 3, but it works with the S23 Ultra. However, with a rugged case, it's a less than ideal fit, but if you have a slim case or no case/skin, it'll be just fine.
I play mostly on GamePass and xCloud (for AAA titles) and a few mobile games with controller support.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments!
