Only one grip was not good because the R36S sits very loose and it has no holes for the ports on the bottom.

Notes It's too wide and the R36S sits very loose (fixable with a piece of cardboard). Holes at the bottom are missing. Sharp edges.

Test Winner

The Standing Grip is my personal favorite because it has no sharp edges on the back.

Bonus

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.
