Snap 5 is a step back

I'll be straight the new snaps suck in terms of grip to the phone and magnetic capability. Real world example: I have the snap stand with magnetic charger. I used to be able to adjust the position of the phone on the stand without the phone popping off and now it pops off with every attempt to adjust position. Seriously disappointed with my “upgrade”. Magnets are a downgrade.
I just got the snap 5 after having the last version for 2 years. I loved the last one and got the car mount with it, both of which were perfect. But this new snap 5 doesn’t not attach to the car mount very well. It’s tough to get it to line up unlike before and once it is lined up and attached it’s very loose. I’m pretty bummed.
The thin, cheap plastic mechanism buckles when folding it in if you don't align it just right. The kickstand disc is thin, sharp, cheap feeling plastic too. Gets very HOT when charging! Going back to my old magnetic grip since I cant charge through this thing... which is the whole reason I bought this garbage.
I have an iPhone 17 Pro and this new Snap 5 will not stay attached to metal surfaces. It will slide down as the magnets are not as strong as Snap 4 which I still have. Also on my MagSafe car mount the slightest pothole or bump and the phone goes flying because of the magnets. The Snap 4 does not do this and is firmly attached to the mount. Also the new soft coating on the ring is very fragile and scrapes off very easily and it isn’t anodized like the Snap 4 was. There needs to be some reengineering of the new Magnet ring and coating to make this product viable. Would suggest to still sell the Snap 4 until this is fixed.
My snap 4 broke so I bought a 5. It does stick really well to the phone without adhesive but not so well to other objects. The magnets in the back are so bad it just barely sticks the the Oh Snap car mount I have. It has fallen off several times. My advice would be to skip the 5 all together until they fix this issue. I’ll probably be changing it all out to something that will actually hold my phone in the car.
Not many things these days are very creative and functional but this little device is a mixture of awesomeness. Good job, I look forward to seeing what they come up with next.
Grip is extremely thin, simple and easy to use the magnets seem to be strong, not as strong as the snap for series, but I believe that’s because it had the adhesive along with the magnets.
I originally had the Snap Grip 4 and ordered the Snap Grip 5 because the adhesive on the 4 had become too weak over time. It would often stay attached to my stand or wireless charger instead of my phone. Because of that experience, I had high expectations for the Snap Grip 5.I really like the feel and the color (simple black), but now I’m running into the opposite problem. It adheres to my phone extremely well, but it doesn’t stick securely to surfaces I place it on, causing it to slowly slide off.For example, the other night I placed my phone on my wireless stand before going to sleep. When I woke up, my phone appeared charged, but I realized it had slowly slid just enough overnight to disrupt the connection. The same issue happens with the stand sold by OhSnap! itself.Honestly, that’s my only complaint.
