Thanks this saved me from buying the "aramid" Magsafe cases. I got lucky with a temporary $5 case that has a strong magnet for the hinge cover and not as thick as the one that came in the box so I'm super happy with it for now. I'm still looking to get a good quality case, but I'm guessing it will take a while for case manufacturers to come up with better ones.
There could be some variation in the tolerances for the stock v3 case's kickstand. Mine's actually quite strong, so I can use it well enough. But the case is quite thick and it's a shame it doesn't have any Magsafe. I'm going for one of the better reddit-reviewed $50 aramid cases - which is too much to spend on a case - but I'm hopeful the build quality will be better since other folks have had a good experience. It doesn't have a hinge protector so even though that's exposed, there's no risk of the cover jutting out above the screen or issues with magnets.
Exactly what I'm doing but I'm waiting it out so the prices come down or a cheaper alternative comes up. For the time being I cut off the hinge on the Aramid one from the vid and it works well!
Got asked about the adhesive strip on the aramid case on reddit Their question: With the thinner carbon case, did you try it with the sticky strip peeled off? You say you did in the video buy it looks like the protective backing is still on the strip. I wonder if it would stay put and not slip around after sticking? My response: Yeh I tried it immediately. It doesn't stick at all, the adhesive comes on and off making this wet annoying noise so I carefully put the film back on to stop the noise. Made absolutely no difference in holding the phone in and I cleaned my phone for best adhesion.

Do the stick on rings work well on the vegan leather though?
Yes they work fine with the stock case.
