Im looking to mount an iPhone or maybe even an iPad mini to an xbone controller. Pretty much to stream PC games to the device while at home. The Nyko mount is discontinued and really expensive for me to get ( close to $100 AUD).

Does have any ideas or alternative mounts ? I'm trying to avoid Bluetooth MFI solutions because I'm sick of dealing with second rate controllers / input lag / iOS updates breaking compatability - all that kinda stuff.

Thanks for any tips!

you're out of luck, the nyko was kinda the only option until they discontinued it. All the suppliers realized this, and marked up the clamp a LOT. it sucks for sure...

i found a nyko smart clip for $35 off of ebay, basically the last one i saw that was under $80.

get a UtorCase from shapeway.com for $22 including shipping. Just got mine yesterday and it works great! I picked the xbox one iphone 6 model, fits my phone perfectly. I had to use a  twist tie to make it  a snug fit on my nimbus,otherwise its a pretty close fit. who knows you could ask them to design a model for the nimbus controller since they 3d print their orders.

You could always try this method. May not be as nice as other options, but is much less expensive!

I paid $15 (shipping included) for this clip that's made for the Xbox one controller, I use it for my nimbus and it works great
