White "Overexposed" turned light peach within 2 weeks; outside ring material chipping away

The outside ring of the white (aka 'overexposed') grip has a rubberized feel and has discolored within 2 weeks of usage in jean and work slacks. Additionally, the outside material is chipping off after a month of usage exposing a silverfish metal looking under-layer. This new magnet-only version and functionality is great, but the discoloration makes this embarrassing to have on my phone.
Don’t buy the series 5 their magnets hardly hold anything and they don’t charge through wireless chargers. Go with the series 4 their magnets are awesome.
Having used this product since its launch, I was very disappointed with this new version. The magnets do not seem nearly as strong. My phone (with Snap Grip 5) has fallen off my MagSafe chargers both at home and in my car. I have had several occasions where the phone did not charge through the device. For a product I have come to count on, I find it disappointing to now think I need to find an alternative that works.
It’s okay, a bit overpriced but still acceptable. I own a few MagSafe accessories, and not all of them charge through the grip. I have to remove it to make them work. This might be due to the thick case and the Snap Grip 5.At the gym, it sticks to the racks, but if the surface is smooth, it starts to slide down.I also used it with a wallet, and it doesn’t hold it as securely without the grip.
This is sad because I loved the first gen of ohsnap and this new one isn’t good at all. It stays stuck on other surfaces instead of on the phone when removing. Sometimes I’ll forget it on a gym machine. And the worst part, the magnet is broken already.
Android user here. I have a flip 5 and got a case with the mag back. Im not sure if the cases mag back sucks but the magnets didn't hold as strong as I would've liked. Instead of putting the accessory ring on the case i put it on the inside of the case to see if that would help, and it does. The main reason why I got a grip again (had one back in 2021) was because I remember how useful it was for gym use. just sticking it on the metal machines made it so convenient. This time around, it sticks, but maybe because of the type of phone I have it on it doesn't always stay in place. It tends to start sliding down slowly (it is what it is). Sometimes it stays, sometimes it slides. Lastly, perhaps its due to the mag back case... when removing it holders or metal surfaces the grip will stick to the metal and detach from the phone. My only work around it to slide it off which leads to the grip getting all scuffed up. I remember before with a previous grip and phone I would just grab and go! My only solution might be to use the accessory ring permanently adhered on with no phone case to get the true intended use. Android/flip phone problems lol
This was a nice concept. Down side it does not hold to mag chargers like my snap luxe 3 does. It almost pushes away like the magnet is reversed. Sad that I had to wait 2 months for it to arrive and work like this. Love everything else about the grip. And it does stick to the phone good without adhesive. I have a couple personal vehicles and a work vehicle with the magnetic vehicle holder and it just didn’t hold it as well. It doesn’t line up and falls off easily.
