I have been using OhSnap since the 3rd generation and have always liked them. I was in love with the 4, except I didn’t like the sticky reside, so I asked for the 5 for Christmas. Upon receiving it, I have found that this one is thicker and doesn’t magnetize as strong to my fridge as 4... (for context I like to stick my phone to the fridge when doing dishes or cleaning the kitchen, and this one makes my phone slowly slide down the fridge, whereas with the 4 it stayed firmly in place when stuck to the fridge). So I’m a bit disappointed.
I have 4 different colors of the snap grip 4 and 1 snap grip 5 and can confidently say the snap grip 4 is far superior! Magnet strength on the 4 is so strong is amazing and holds the phone to any object and holds my wallet strong on the phone. Unfortunately the 5 has a weak outside magnet and efuke I want to love it I just can't get past the weak magnet. It stays on the phone but the wallet falls off in my pocket constantly and the phone falls off my oh snap charger and car mount constantly. Please bring back the snap grip 4 or include the sane strong magnet strength on the snap grip 6. Thank you !
the Snap Grap 5 definitely has a different magnet setup to where it is not nearly as compatible with MagSafe iPhone accessories as the previous Snap Grip model. It does not attach nearly as strong or as easily as my previous one did, and because of this I've had it fall off of my MagSafe car mount, and struggle to attach quickly and easily to Apple's MagSafe charger for iPhone. I also use it with NOMAD's Stand One MagSafe charging base as well as a magnetic charging pad made by Belkin - and they both have had intermittent charging issues and trouble "lining up" automatically with the magnets of the Snap Grip 5.
The magnets barely hold when you try to attach your device to a metal surface. With the Oh snap 4 luxe I could stick my phone to those surfaces with no problem but with the 5 my device just slides off or falls off easily. I do like the fact that you don't need the adhesive and it attached to the phone very well though.
I liked it but didn’t like the need to take it off for other things since it would not charge through or isn’t near as strong as the OhSnap 4 Luxe. I took off the 5 and put my 4 back on with an adhesive. It actually sticks better to the whiteboard at my school and doesn’t slide slowly down the white board due to the weight of my phone. I was even sent a replacement, but the replacement is just as bad as the first one I received.
feels nice enough, function is ok at best. Doesn’t really pop out, spin, or function the way they promote it. Kudos, though, marketing is better than the product and you got me to buy one!
