I have been using Snap Grips since the beginning, changing colors with each new iPhone. I was so excited to see that there was an orange Snap Grip tp match my new iPhone. But alas, I had to return it, and continue to use my trusty #4. The Snap Grip 5 doesn't grip as well as the #4. I know the new design is so there is no adhesive. The magnet has to be aligned "just right" to stick, and then it doesn't stick very well. Having to take it off to charge my iPhone is a pain I'd rather not deal with.Please, please, please give users a choice of Grips. The redesign is not for everyone, some don't mind the adhesive. I'm basing my ratings below on the Snap Grip 4.
I was so excited for the new Snap Grip 5 to match my updated phone and case. You can imagine my disappointment when the new 5 won't securely attach to my car mount. That was the entire reason for me going with OhSnap products. It also doesn't hold my phone on the steel door or the fridge. Looks pretty but it's ineffective.
I love the versatility in how you can use this product. However, at times it feels a little bit flimsy. I am afraid I am going to break it. Sometimes when I go to collapse it, the pieces in the middle try to fold the opposite way that they are intended to. If you bend a material back and forth too many times it usually breaks. Time will tell. Until then, I am liking the product.
So wanted to love this, but it collapses when you put the phone down. You have to reopen it every time you pick the phone up. I went back to my Pop Socket because I can balance the phone on it when it's open and so when I pick it up, it only requires one hand which is so much more efficient and easy. I will say the ohsnap is extremely comfortable when it's open and you're holding it. Can you guys make one that's more firm and stays open when you put the phone down? And honestly this thing is too expensive.
