The new GameKlip™ is here! I started a new thread to keep things organized. Check it out here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2027611 :)

Hello again everyone! I just launched an accessory for the Galaxy SIII (and other android phones) that you guys might be interested in! I've always loved playing games on my smartphones, but on screen controls were always frustrating. When I discovered the Sixaxis App, and native usb host and controller compatibility with the SIII, I had to figure out a good way to attach my phone to the controller. I came up with the GameKlip™.


I am a university student, and long time xda member. I've been tinkering with this project in my spare time and am now ready to produce them. I hope you guys like it! Let me know what you think! :)

More information and ordering info available here: http://thegameklip.com/ Starts at $15!!


Update: I shot another quick video showing how strong the GameKlip™ is. Take a look!

Update2: I have replaced the photos of the Galaxy S3 GameKlip™ with a cleaner, more accurate, representation of the final GameKlip™ (still hand cut). Its actually the same one I used in the video above! I have no issues pressing the buttons. The final version has the tabs moved up a little as well to accommodate for the bottom curve on most phones

Update3: I added a lot more information to my website. Check it out!

Update4: I just took some new photos of the production model! Notice the smooth cuts and plenty of room to press all the buttons. I have also updated the first image above.

Update6: I just shot a new video real quick to show off the new production models. Added above!

I'm looking at the pictures of this device and I don't see how it is secure? it is just molded hard plastic in the general width of the phone. The plastic touching the phone is smooth. There is no tensioning device to squeeze the sides. i imagine if i put my phone in it and tipped it past level the phone would fall right out. Thats probably why that phone and hand that is "holding it upside down" is cut and pasted out of its original surroundings. I would imagine that it didn't get picked up by Kickstarter because they know it will be the cause of many a broken phone. Sorry to be a downer.

The phone isn't cut and pasted in the balcony picture. I held the phone with one hand and took the picture with the other :) I used a fill flash to light the controller, which may be throwing you off.

The material itself has a little spring to it and is molded to be just a hair thinner than the phone. The tabs hold it very securely. I can hold mine upside down with my S3 and shake it without anything coming lose or falling off.

I was looking all around for a clip with no success. Even tried to talk a Gamestop worker to give me their display clip! Found this the other day but seems so un elegant. http://imgur.com/a/sRiLs Thought about epoxying a case to the controller, but glad I found the GameKlip before I went that route.

Hey Ryan when do you think you'll start shipping? Good luck brother, I'll be spreading the word.

Thank you! I put 2 to 3 weeks on my website to be safe, but hopefully I'll be able to ship much sooner! And thank you for helping spread the word! I tried posting something over at AndroidCentral and got perma-banned for it. Oh well, xda is better anyway :cool:

Why did kickstarter reject you?

And it looks like it works even with a case on right

    Thank you all for your patience and support! I dropped most of the orders off at the post office this evening! I wasn't able to get all of them out before they closed, but all orders placed before this posting will ship out first thing in the morning :) I'll get the tracking numbers inputted into PayPal asap. Once I input the tracking number, PayPal should send you an email with the shipping details. All orders are shipped via priority mail and should arrive in 1-3 days.

    I put a lot of work into every single one of your orders, I hope you like them! Thank you again everyone!
