Grip broke in 2 months

Originally, I loved this product. However, it only lasted 2 months before the grip part that stretches away from the phone broke. The pieces that connect the grip to the phone began to Crack and break one by one after only 1 month. After 2 months, the grip has completely broken off.
I had this once before and was disappointed, but when I saw the new Deluxe Edition, I thought maybe they had resolved some previous issues, but they did not. The car holder constantly slides down so that the phone is facing downward instead of upward, it needs to be more stiff. Also, with the SnapGrip on the back of the iphone, it will not work with any other Qi chargers other than the one from Apple or the one from oh snap. (The oh snap magnetic charger cord is coming apart where it meets the actual charger after only three weeks) I really wish they would have stated in the description that Qi chargers are not Yes compatible With the snap grip. I feel like, once again, I wasted a decent chunk of change on the products.
The biggest glaring issue is that the adhesive on the back isn't nearly strong enough. When sticking the magnetic to something with a strong connection like a wireless charger or car charger the Snap will come right off the back of my phone with ease. I'm considering finding a spray on adhesive to try and not interfere with the pass through charging. However I'm using a pretty expensive sprigen case that I don't want to ruin trying to fix the issue.Another issue is that trying use the Snaps 1 finger method doesn't really work. I can only get right past my first knuckle before the arms won't stretch anymore. This doesn't feel secure at all and often it will bend the arms outwards to where the Snap won't close unless you push them back in yourself.Lastly the outer ring is already showing quite a bit of wear after just 1 week of light use so I'm questioning how much durability this really has.The rest of the Snap functions nicely like the kick stand, how it pops up, closes, spins, the charge through although I can't really use it because the adhesive problem, etc.
I chose the Snap Grip Lux for the thin profile and mag safe charging ability. I love the look of this grip! It took me a few minutes to adjust to the finger webbing and I still have to find the exact spot to stick my finger through it. My initial worry was if that webbing would hold up. So far it has been great! I tried the stand once. It seemed good but is not a feature I use often. The best find for me was I can attach my phone to a metal surface when needed. I love the slim profile so my large iPhone pro max goes into my pocket easily. So far, I highly recommend this phone grip and would definitely purchase again if needed.
Magnet was okay. Does not help to magnetically charge. Not satisfied at all. Thought this would help me charge through my case . NOT. Not sure what else to do. Considering a refund.
