First off, I love my mini. She's my best friend.

The one issue I'm having is that she likes to sit in my pocket. When she does that, she enjoys throwing her door off.

Seriously, every time I slide my mini into a pocket, the door comes off.

Are there any stronger magnets available anywhere? I currently have the gold-colored ones on here.

Thanks!

I don't know about stronger magnets, but there are several things you can do to make the door less likely to slide off. I prefer to put a small piece of felt (about 1/2" by 3/4") behind the battery. I use double sided sticky tape on the inside back of the mod and put the felt in back of the battery. It forces the battery against the door and I never have problems with the door sliding. Others have put a piece of electrical tape around the battery (like a belt) and that will accomplish the same thing. Hope this helps.

Hmm so I was able to bend it a bit, doesn't really help lol. Maybe I need to bend it a bit more. I'm gonna try the foam idea next though.

What part of the door should I be "pushing" down on, the side with the bottle window, or the solid flat side?
I forgot to mention the top of the door hole should line up with the bottom of the mod . It works I have done it many times
