Finally getting around to ordering an aryca case for my deus controller. Want to confirm that the WS12b (wave model) is the one that fits best. Also would like to know if anyone has information regarding an aftermarket mount to adhere on the backside of case. Found the attached image on the web. I like the idea of a larger surface area where the two will be joined. Where can this mount be purchased?
Lastly, what glue/epoxy works best? Are there any adhesives to avoid?

Thanks in advance!

That mount can be purchased on eBay. Seller is from Russia, I have two of them and it's a lot better that gluing the stem cap on the back. Those mounts come preinstalled with double sided sticky tape and it forms a super strong bond to the case. Mounting tip: fully extend your stem, clip the mount on, remove the sticky tape and stick it so the case does not contact your handle, but get it as close as you can. This way you can fully extend the upper stem and have plenty of room for your handle while still being able to manipulate the controls single handed.

Not sure on your model number for the Acyra case.

Here is a photo of the one I recently purchased (the last letter in the proxy number is the color)

I just looked up the WS12B. It is not the same as the ones I have. Mine are WS13Y (Y for yellow). So it appears you should be looking for a WS13

Thanks for the help jadocs. UPS delivered the WS13 case today. Now to exercise the patience to wait for the mounting block from Russia......

You won't be disappointed. While your at it get on eBay and order these 5mm (width) cabinet bumpers. I haven't found them that small locally in any hardware store it really makes pressing the buttons through the silicon much easier and you won't leave marks in the silicon as the buttons on the controller are somewhat recessed.

and they work super if you have your controller in a rain cover (thicker plastic front)

I've used the ones from the local hardware store and the are junk. The only ones that would fit are flat and are the size of the entire button. Not as easy to push as the smaller 5mm dome bumpers. The flat bumpers left a residue mess when taking off as well since they covered the whole area. It left residue all in the crevices, etc.
