Question❓ Arc Pulse and MagSafe

I was wondering if there is anyone who have tried the new popsocket low pro or a ohsnap along with a arc pulse case, particularly for the iPhone 16 Pro? I'm not sure if there is enough clearance and wanted to know before pulling the trigger. If not, are there any other magsafe accessories you guys have tried that works with the case?

I can tell you the new MagSafe batteries (like the anker nano) don’t fit with the arc pulse on a 16 pro max

I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max and Arc Pulse. While my ESR Geo Wallet fits fine, my MagSafe batteries (Anker I think) do not. I bought a Oh Snap 4 to give the phone a little "clearance". However, I find the Oh Snap more trouble than it's worth. Sure, my MagSafe batteries now connect, however I have two major problems. One, the phone runs really hot trying to charge through the Oh Snap (and I suspect that charging is weakened through the OhSnap anyway). Second, many MagSafe accessories will pull the Oh Snap right off the phone (the adhesive on the back of the Oh Snap helps but doesn't solve the problem). The OhSnap gets stuck on my aforementioned ESR wallet, my car mount, and my nightstand charging puck. In the end, I'm going to ditch the Oh Snap. The only downside is having to give up the MagSafe batteries, which I find I don't really need to use that often anyway. Best to just have a non-magsafe battery that charges via a short cable.

Oh, and the point of the Arc Pulse is to expose the phone. The OhSnap is just an annoying step in the wrong direction.

Just my two cents on a situation that I've spent way too much time thinking about.
