Well though design once again, a nice to have tool for your phone. Using the stronger physical link would be more reassuring in some cases. The magnetic link tends to leave some marks on the case, hopping this marks won’t translate into early worn mark on the case. Regarding the build quality, I have a small issue with the magnetically attached tool, the magnet small magnet is not well attached to the mobile tripod so the adjustment tool keeps getting pulled to the case as the magnet is stronger, I can imagine why people y’ would loose this little piece of metal (see picture)
I purchased the case and tripod for my Galaxy S22 Ultra for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it! The case is beautiful and the tripod worked perfectly.... the only thing I didn't realize is that unfortunately magnets interfere with the SPen in the phone making it non usable. Hopefully Samsung will find a fix for this in the future so I can use this product!
I really want to love the tripod, but it isn't perfect. I love having a tripod right on the back of my phone, I can use to to set up shots or even just as a stand to view my phone next to my desk. My problem is with the ball hinge, it just isn't strong enough. I have an s21+ and if it is tilted over a little bit, the weight of my phone drops it all the way down. I even have the tripod tightened basically as tight as it can and it still isn't strong enough. I wish that part was just a touch stronger because if it can't hold my phone, then the bigger phones like the Ultra will really struggle with it.
