The only time I ever see caseless phones is in the movies. Everyone I know protects their phone like it costs $1k to replace it. So I’m curious, is my circle unusual or the norm?

    Get the loctite glass glue and place a few dots around to help with adhesion but nott too much that it is permanent when you want to remove it.

    I personally sprung for the ESR magsafe hololock ring because I wanted it to be as flush as possible on my Samsung S25 Ultra. Being slim but still help with attaching to magsafe products is nice, especially since I live in a place that gets hot, I bought a qi2 car charger that has a peltier cooling unit in it. Phone is ice cold when I slide it off the charger

    Side note:
    popping it perpendicular to the surface has shown me that without the loctite glass glue, the ESR magnet ring will stay on the charger. So I just make sure to slide it off horizontally.

      I did the perpendicular thing for a while, but two of the magnets I use with the phone (one a charger, one just a mount) are strong enough that removing the phone perpendicularly is difficult.

      If I ever decide I don’t want my printed case, I’ll try the loctite solution! Thanks!

        My sister has that snap 4 luxe type item from Amazon and it definitely has such a strong magnet that even attached to the case, it will stay stuck on the wireless charger haha, but I doubt the peltier cooling as effective at keeping it cool because the case is quite thick with snap 4 luxe increasing thickness too. While for my case less phone with only the slim magsafe ring, it is working really effectively at cooling the phone.

        I tried those slim frameless cases that had a magsafe ring embedded, too. Unfortunately they were a complete failure. One issue is that they break on the corner that has the S-pen, and one case in particular would fail to stay attached on the phone properly. I wish they were made properly but they were epic fails.(The other case had a metal plate for the magsafe notch, fails at preventing product from twisting)

        I looked at those frameless types but they are made of metal and would affect wireless performance. on top of that the design made me feel uneasy.
