Magnet interferes with S-pen usage

This is my 3rd snap grip. The first one was the version 2, the last one was version 3 and I loved it. It broke after 3 years of HEAVY use but it was absolutely user error, my phone got stuck in the couch and I yoinked and damaged the grip, completely on me, so I ordered a new one. The new magsafe version that comes with an adapter for Android interferes with the functionality of the S-pen on my Samsung phone. I'm going to buy a replacement adhesive and do away with the adapter in the very unlikely event that will help. The previous version had an option for magsafe for iPhone or one for phones without magsafe and you could pick which one you needed but they don't offer that anymore. If my S-pen still doesn't work on the sections of the screen where the magnets are, I'm going to have to find a new grip which sucks bigtime because I've been a die hard snap fan for about five years and it's my favorite.
The Snap Grip as a pop socket is great. No complaints, but after trying it with 3 different phone cases, it is still as inconsistent with wireless charging as any other grip. If wireless charging is a must for you, I would just be aware you need to remove it.
I like the product. Flat and easy to use. Mine broke early but I know others who have had theirs for longer without issues. They are trying to send me a replacement so that is nice.
I feel like it kinda misses the mark. The finger hole is tight if your an adult, to have it go in kickstand mode it really doesn't hold phone up because it's a circle w no flat spot to prevent wobbling. If u put ur finger into the hole and like myself it's to small it flexes the shocks to far and then you can't push in the button. Overall I don't plan on using it.
I was excited about the new grip, so I double checked before purchasing just the grip, to be sure I didn’t have to buy their case also, and was told no, that my case would be fine. Note, it’s just a generic simple case, not like a super, extra protective type thick case. I charge the phone via the magnetic Apple charger, through the case, so I know the ‘magnetization’ works. The grip magnetized when put on my iPhone, but when I pick up the phone by the grip, it comes right off. I do not want to have to purchase another case so will be returning the grip.
