Good idea with major flaw

I have the Snap Grip 4 (adhesive version) and loved it. Had it on a case for about a year with no issues at all. Bought a second one to put on a different case. Again, no issues. I upgraded my charging stand that allowed “through charging” since the MagSafe would now be attached through this grip as opposed to directly to the case. With the version 4, no issues. When the Snap Grip 5 came out with all magnets, I jumped on it with the thought of ease of changing to different cases. I noticed with the 5, the magnetic strength was extremely lacking compared to the 4. After comparing the 4 and 5 on multiple cases with MagSafe compatibility, I noticed the magnets in the version 5 are affecting the “stick” to the charging station. The magnets in the grip are almost fighting against the magnet in the charging station. So much so that my phone has fallen off the charging stand twice now and cracked my screen protector. Still a great product, but I unfortunately wasted money on the version 5 as I have to hunt for the proper location to put my phone on the charger as opposed to the version 4 that almost sucked the phone out of my hand to make it to the charger. Just something to consider, you might be better off with Grip 4 as opposed to this newer Grip 5.
This has the potential to be great, however after use for a while, the magnet does not always pop back into place which can be frustrating. For how expensive it is, would not expect this issue.
Never had one of these before, so it took a little getting used to, I do like how thin it is, overall not bad. But after a few times taking it off my phone, a piece of it broke off and I can’t help but wonder when the rest of it is going to break.
I so love this snap grip 5, however the back of the snap grip is not strong enough to last it's very thin. This is my second one I've tried and had to return both. The flatness is great because you can place it in yourpocket and purse smoothly. Other then it's not lasting long enough sucks. If they up grade and make the back part stronger enough to grip and not break so easily this would a great product.
So far so good. Appears to be well made, a little pricey but I think it will be durable. I have to remove it to charge my phone which is an inconvenience, if I don’t remove it the connection while charging is off and on.
I have been a long time user of these grips and was extremely excited with the non-adhesive grips in the version 5. However - after trying out 3 different v5 grips, I am upset to say that the magnets just arent as strong when connecting to an accessory. Not sure what happened but they grip to the magsafe phone/case perfectly, but they don't hold as well onto anything else. Opened a support ticket on it, but pretty much was told I was wrong and havent heard anything back. I can take a v4 and out on the same phone and case and it is so much better.
