It took some time to get this holder. Then I went for a short vacation... Anyway, I'm ready to share some pictures.

There are two raised parts at the bottom of the holder that prevent controller from mounting flat (circled with red).

I should say that it's not the best mount I could imagine, but it does the trick.
You have to remove bumps for better fit. I also removed one padding on each side of the mount.

But it is not half bad for $5 delivered.

You can try to use suction mount, but I did not see any good from it in my application. The only way I can think of is to mount it to the side of tank or sump, but I want to keep controller as far from water as possible.
