Snap Grip 5 - Not the same experience as before

So I have been using Snap Grips for a few years and love them. Best design, wireless charging worked great with my iPhone and the grips. Made it super simple as I use no case and was the best setup for a iPhone I've ever found. My old snap grip broke after a year of usage so I ordered a new one the Snap Grip 5 I guess. Well it no longer works with conductive charging at all. They basically removed one of the best features of this device. I had no idea what was going on until I started to research it more. This was by DESIGN? They say to just take off the snap grip before wireless charging. Issue is I work at a desk and put my phone on and off a wireless stand magnetic all day. I'm not going to add and remove the grip 40 times a day. Massive design fail in this new version and I'm super sorry to write this review as I really loved this game changing product. At least give us the option to buy the old version of Snap Grip that worked great for wireless charging.
These grips are great. They are thin and have multiple grip options. The magnets stick to most things but it is all over the board. The grip won't hold your iPhone on most gym equipment, while with other things, it is impossible to remove the grip once it sticks. My biggest critique is the soft plastic coating they add. Sure, it feels nice, but it doesn't take long for it to start coming off, and then the grip looks like trash. I've had two of these, and they've done the same thing.
The standing function is non-existent as it doesn't really work as advertised. keeps collapsing and does not stand. finger inserting process is too much work and the plastic webbings are too finicky and often bends the wrong way.Once the wrong way happened once - now the whole middle cap is not closing properly.This item is a disaster. I really wish I could ask for a refund or exchange with an actual kick stand outer ring version.
I like these way more than the other grips but it’s only a couple months old and it already looks so janky. The coating on the outer part comes off very easily. As it rubs against surfaces, it continues to look worse and worse. I am pretty disappointed about that.
