Mount moved places, won't stay down

I'm not sure which version I have as my order isn't clear but I'll assume it isn't the latest. I use the grip on my Kindle, but because the grip won’t stay closed, I think at times it catches on something and moved. there’s something about the hinge that makes it impossible to stay down, even when fiddling with it. I hope they have upgraded this in future models.
I’ve been an OhSnap user since the very first version and every time I think “This is the best one yet” because they’ve continuously improved the product, sometimes drastically between versions. And I didn’t even know how they were going to improve on the 4...and well the fixed the only thing that bothered me about is that it was a pain to take it off and put it back on. The 5 has insanely strong magnets, like 3-4x the grip strength of standard MagSafe. There seems to be no amount of normal arm movement that can make your phone fall off. Extreme circumstances, I have no idea, but it shouldn’t fall off under regular use. It’s just shy of being a pain to get off, but if you can’t get it with a fingernail and credit card will do. Overall very happy. Didn’t fix what was working, and added the ability to put on a case at will.
I purchased 3 Snap Grips in hopes a giving a great Christmas present. I attached one to my cell phone and it lasted approximately 1 hour. I did one spin and the grip would no longer close. It hangs out catching on everything. It does not prop your phone up. Maybe I got a bad unit, but this thing does nothing like the advertisement. I would like a refund please.
I purchased my snap grip five a few weeks ago and there are some positives and negatives. The positives are it’s a very trim fit so it does not hang up when you put your phone in your pocket. It has a strong magnet, but the magnet does pop off if the phone is dropped. The other issue I have is the finger hole is difficult to get your finger in and the plastic stand is flimsy. It also has problems lying flat after you have been using the finger hole for too long. It does take some time to get used to it but so far it’s good enough that I have not replaced it. I think it could be improved by beefing up the materials a bit so that it’s not so flimsy.
First, this unit feels incredibly flimsy because it’s so thin and lightweight. It seems to be very durable though. This is my first time using something like this and I’m still not in the habit of using it but I like it so far. I got it on the Black Friday sale but I feel that it was still a little high for what it is. I’ve read where people complain about the magnet not being strong enough, that’s not the case with mine, it’s plenty strong.
The Ohsnap ads show the Snap easily being applied and removed. But they are misleading in that Snap4 is applies with an adhesive which is very difficult to remove, and which damaged my case. Apparently Snap5 uses magnetic adherence. So if you plan to swap out attachments beware that Snap4 is not for you. Ads are very misleading and Ohsnap refused to replace the Snap4 with a Snap5.
