Not sure what phone you have but…
L-FADNUT Case for iPhone 12 Pro Max Case Frame-Less Design Matte Hard Plastic Back Cover TPU Shockproof Bumper Corner Ultra Slim Thin Translucent Protective Phone Case for iPhone 12 Pro Max, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L6LDTVS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_5B1S79HY52Z8PJW5XSBC?psc=1
That brand only has black in stock with no rings.
Search Amazon for “frameless iPhone case”
Almost same situation. Today received replacement and by inside look that seems to be a bigger magnets, but still it can't hold weight of the 12PM on the magsage charger (like original silicone case) and Apple Wallet easily slides with little force to it. Maybe I just extremely unlucky...
BTW, on your case packaging the sticker "Magsafe compatible" was the only one, or placed over another sticker too?
___
Addition: video of the new case (there indeed better magnets, but slightly better) compared with the original silicone case (first 22 seconds) and the MagSafe charger.
___
And another addition: dbrand support said, that I received again defective one and they going to send me another (third) one.

I got my replacement yesterday also. There’s a difference. It’s small but there’s a difference. I don’t have another MagSafe case to compare it to - are others as strong as the iPhone naked?
One nice thing is I didn’t have to send the old one back. So I’m not rushing to swap them especially since I have to put on that skin again.

Original Apple Silicone a bit stronger than naked phone (and about twice strong compared to my first dbrand Grip and replacement one. Waiting for another one Grip to compare).
I have it and like it. It is a tad thicker than official apple case. But better quality leather than the Apple case. Gram28 shipping is not the greatest. Takes several days to get it.
I almost paid extra for the 2 day FedEx shipping but figured I've made it this long with an Apple case so what's another few days (weeks). I'm happy to hear the leather is higher quality; how are the buttons? One of the main issues I had with another third party leather case I tried (Parkfield) was that the buttons almost looked like they were glued on to the outside of the case whereas Apple's look/feel like they're built in/part of the case.
Buttons are almost like the Apple case. Good quality and very tactile.
I have the 12 PM with apple blue leather case which is fantastic.
in few weeks I will be going south Europe, spending most of my time on the beach with very high temperatures and dirty / wet hands from the salt sea, so I decide to pickup some silicon case instead
I am using the california poppy yellow wallet, and I would like to ask someone that has got the new pistachio or other pastel colour to post some pictures with wallets attached, to see how it matches

Honestly, I would take the leather case and put it through it's paces. I went on vacation once and I really regretted not taking my leather case because the patina would've been out of this world with all the sweat, dirt, wet hands, etc. You got a chance to really show that the leather case can shine in tougher environments!
Can you compare the synthesis vs the dbrand grip? Which one is bulkier (I prefer a less bulky option - didn't like the otterbox), or are they both pretty bulky? Do you feel like one would be more protective? I read some problems with the sheath not having responsive buttons - do you have that experience with the synthesis?
I have the grip and sheath. I did sell the synthesis
The grip is the best case out of the bunch, although it is the most bulky.
I had no issue with the sheaths buttons whatsoever, it’s just too thin for my taste. In retrospect I would’ve kept the synthesis as the back up.
The grip & the synthesis are the two best cases I’ve tried.
Caudabe Synthesis with Magsafe now available in black and ocean blue. I ordered the OB today. Finally.
My black Synthesis with MagSafe for my 12PM says it’s going to be delivered today, but the mail has already run, so I think USPS screwed me and it’ll be tomorrow now.
I didn’t pay for overnight, but I’m in central Kentucky and Caudabe ships out of Cincinnati, so it’s not completely unusual that I got it the next day. I ordered around 7:30am yesterday and it arrived at lunch today.
Some quick pics I took:
Recived replacement (third case) and it same as the second one (on video). I guess they designed it with regular 12 in mind, and not the heavy one. I don't have car mount / stand to compare (since there may be stronger magnets and it's still be stable enough), but tested with Apple Wallet at the store and that wasn't good enough.
Well, I guess I can live with that.
Do you like it? Strong magnets? Looks sharp to me. Typical Synthesis look.I didn’t pay for overnight, but I’m in central Kentucky and Caudabe ships out of Cincinnati, so it’s not completely unusual that I got it the next day. I ordered around 7:30am yesterday and it arrived at lunch today.

I do like it. I tried the magnets with my MagSafe charger and they're good and strong. Not sure they're strong enough to hold the 12 Pro Max to a dashboard mount, but I'd never try that anyway.
