Comparison[edit]
Only one grip was not good because the R36S sits very loose and it has no holes for the ports on the bottom.
The R36XX has the exact same size as the R36S and is also compatible with these grips.

Bonus[edit]
The Grip Lite V3 does almost perfectly fit a BATLEXP G350. It does not go in all the way because of its shape, but the device is sitting in very tight and secure. The test winner (Standing Grip) is also useable after pushing the device in with a little force.
