Smartphone controller?

I've got a Galaxy S7 that I want to play GBA Emulators (namely Pokemon Emerald) and Minecraft Pocket Edition, but I want a controller, preferably one with a clamp I can fix the phone to the controller with so it's like a handheld console.

 

What should I get? Does it have to be expensive?

I got one of these m.8bitdo.com/Products/nes30.html. Worked really well. You could use the ps4/ps3 and wii controllers wirelessly with a bit of work (dont know if bluetooth stacks are still borked on android)

Windows 10 Edu | Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming | Ryzen 9 3950x | 4x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB| ROG Strix GeForce® RTX 2080 SUPER™ Advanced edition | Samsung 980 PRO 500GB + Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB + 8TB Seagate Barracuda | EVGA Supernova 650 G2 | Alienware AW3418DW + LG 34uc87c + Dell u3419w | Asus Zephyrus G14
