Magsafe-compatible cases?

Magsafe-compatible cases?

Looking for a way to use wireless charging and magsafe mounts, but still protect my S22 Ultra. Are there any decent magsafe-compatible cases? And if not, has anyone successfully used a magsafe sticker underneath any of the less rugged OtterBox cases?

I've recently set up a magsafe mount over my bed for my Kindle, and I am trying to figure out a way to attach my s22 ultra to it as well. Ever since a relative's kid broke my screen the year I got it, I have had an OtterBox defender on it, but I'm okay with downgrading the case a bit now that the phone is so old. With the Kindle, I don't carry it everywhere with me, and it is easy enough to pop the case off of it to use wireless charging, because I don't have to charge it very often.

I still need to be able to use wireless charging with my phone daily, though, and there aren't many options for cases as far as I can tell. I ordered this Canshn case during Prime Days, but it's so thin I don't think it will provide much protection at all. I have several magsafe stickers from when I was testing them out on my Kindle, and I'm wondering whether it'd be possible to place the sticker just right and use it underneath an OtterBox commuter or symmetry, and still be able to charge it.

A question about tub/shower silicone

The short version: This probably seems like a really silly question, but if you apply silicone on one side of a bathtub, smooth it and let it firm up, and then apply it to the next side, say, 6 hours later after the first line has set a bit but not fully cured, will the fresh line of silicone adhere well to the existing line at the corner of the tub?

The long version: I'm at my wit's end caulking and recaulking my guest bath. I had nice-looking results at my old house, which had a bathtub with a tile surround, using masking tape, siliconized caulk (pretty sure it was DAP brand), and a caulking tool.

But my new house has one of those cheap fiberglass tub-shower combos, and it was really poorly installed. The gap isn't even on all sides--It is practically non-existent in some areas and a bit under a half inch in others--and so it makes it really difficult to make the caulk look even. Ideally, I'd set the tub on fire and start over, but that's not an option at this point.

I want to switch to using silicone because the GE brand I've been looking at has better reviews for mold resistance, and I'd like for this to last a good long while. I've foun,d silicone trickier to work with, though. I've already redone it twice, and each time it's a nightmare getting all the silicone off.

I am pretty much at the point where I want to caulk one side of the bathtub, smooth it out and get it looking decent, and then let it set for 4-6 hours but not fully cure before I come back and tape the next side and caulk it. I don't need to be a pro at this; I just want my caulk to last more than a year. So...will doing it that way work?
