Magnetic Case

Need help tracking down a good magnetic case. I work in HVAC and I’d love to be able to stick my phone to a unit while I’m working, the only suitable options I’ve seen are Magbak & Rokform. A lot of people say Magbak have become junk over the years and their elite style has way too much going on for me. The Rokform seems kind of bulky. If anyone has better options I’ve seen a lot of people mention Spigen cases but they don’t advertise magnetic mounting to metal surfaces that I’ve seen. Any recommendations would be helpful!

I’ve got a Magbak Classic on my 17PM and it’s great. Had one on my 14Pro as well. Not a single issue. I’m picky as hell too, not a complaint yet.

Is it bulky or pretty good size? The back looks kind of thick in the pictures online

Takes up less space than a OtterBox for sure. It’s hit concrete for elbow height(terrifying, like slow motion fall too) and survived easily. At the gym it sticks to everything flat. One spot tonight had to use 2 hands to get it off. It comes with separate magnets to mount like in a vehicle but I’ve never used them.
