plastic grip

The plastic design of the part where your fingers hold onto the grip is flimsy and already has been damaged by my toddler. I have had the product about one week. Wireless chargers do work through the grip and I love that it is magnetized so I can stick it to my car or fridge.
Sorry this isn't a great review. I love the color, but it feels cheep. When I go to pull up the tab I feel likes its going to rip right off, and it's uncomfortable too.
I've ordered and used ohsnap since the kick starter. I genuinely love them and recommend them to others. Each update certainly has great new features. However, I'm getting frustrated that each time it gets even minutely updated, we have to order a new stand or car mount. I just got a new one, and now I can't use the car mount that is attached to my car.
I like the look of the grip and how strong the magnet is but I do have a couple issues with it. First it seems when I use a magsafe charger through the grip, which was the reason I got it in the first place, it seems the phone charges much slower then with out the grip on. The phone also gets really hot. Another issue i’m having and it could just be a defective one is the grip often times won’t lay flat like it’s supposed to. Sometimes the arms fold the wrong way so I have to manually fold them correctly. Even when I do that it won’t lay flat sometimes and stays popped up. I bought a 2nd one that doesn’t seem to have that problem so maybe I just got a defective one.
This is the best option currently on the market, but it suffers from trying to be too thin. It doesnt need to be, and it would be a better product if it werent. It's twice as thin as it needs to be, and for that it's always going to feel a bit cramped for a big guy. I'd prefer it if opened a bit taller and wider and had more spring to it. More metal, less plastic. That's what I want. An OhSnap! XL. But they've trapped themselves in the space of being the thinnest. We wanted thin, but "thin enough" was a long time ago.
The idea was good but if/when the with the way the grip collapses- if it ever becomes misaligned 1 time (like it did for me) its impossible to get back to normal. Its too expensive for me to justify buying it
It doesn’t stay in the stand mode all that well, I had it for 2 days and the round part that pops up would go back down to be flat. So I couldn’t use it on my wireless mount.
