any opinions on those ?

I've tried several of them, and while they are perfectly usable, its the little things that made them not my favorite. When you clip the phone into them, they become incredibly top heavy. Held normally, they feel notably heavier because the weight isn't directly between your hands. And (depending on the clip used) anything other than sitting upright will result in the phone clip swinging closed.

If you're really interested in one of those, personally I felt this one was by far the best bang for the buck.

However;
Something like this one feels much more balanced in the hands. The tradeoff for the second one I linked is that you can't really plug the phone in while in use.

Now if you feel like spending extra:
Gamesir X2 and razer kishi physically plug into the controller and have USB-C passthrough for charging, but the trade-off with them (if you can even call it that) is that they rely on the physical connection, so you cannot use them while the phone is farther away (like plugged into a monitor or TV)
