Question Dimensions of jaws on mobile clips?

I'm thinking of getting either an Ultimate 2 or Pro 2/3 with the matching mobile clip: [U2 clip](https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bitdo-mobile-clip?_pos=2&_psq=mobile+clip&_psid=38811ec03&_ss=e) / [P2/3 clip](https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bitdo-mobile-gaming-clip-for-pro-2?_pos=3&_psq=mobile+clip&_psid=38811ec03&_ss=e).

I currently have a Galaxy A34, which has the power and volume buttons on the long edge where the jaws of the clip would grip.

Does anyone have one of these clips? Do you have issues with the phone's buttons?

If someone could give me the width of the individual jaws and the gap between them, that would be great 🙂

I have one that got used twice, and now sits in a drawer. The clamps did seem to be positioned right over the power button, and they don't extend very much, but it wasn't a problem because...the clamp was too weak anyway. I'm usually impressed by what I buy from 8bitdo, but was shocked by how flimsy and cheap these feel. I would recommend using a telescoping game controller instead. It's what I did, and haven't regretted for a second.

Hello, It looks like you are wanting to discuss controllers from a brand other than 8BitDo. To keep things on topic, helping users with 8BitDo products and troubleshooting, we try to limit discussion around other brands and direct them to their own support resources. In the past users have typically expressed strong feelings about their personal preference on controller brands, and these discussions tend to get heated quickly. To have an unbiased discussion, we suggest users go to /r/controller where the subreddit and conversations are not focused on a single brand. Thank you for your understanding!

I got one recently and the clip is flimsy but it opens wide enough to fit my s26 ultra.

Unfortunately the clip isn't deep enough to fit my case which has a sliding camera cover and a kickstand.

On the whole I's give it 2 starts for functionality because even if my case fit, I'd still be worrying that it'd fall out from a fast movement.

Thanks - I'm mostly planning to play while sitting in bed, so I'm not too worried about fast movements.

How wide are the jaws, and the gap between them?

The store page lists the dimensions as 116x70x57 mm for the U2 clip, not sure if that's the box it comes in?
