Newest edition is a downgrade :(

I’ve been using the ohsnap for a few years going back to the 3 and 4. I think the latest iteration is quite honestly a downgrade. I personally liked the old one adhered with adhesive. It was easy to move from case to case and had a super secure connection. Additionally, the magnet on the newest edition is weak sauce. I can’t get it to securely connect to a MagSafe device anymore. The old one would snap so hard on to MagSafe device I’d say “ohsnap” 😉. But honest feedback, revert the changes Ohsnap team! And Ohsnap will, again be a 5 star phone grip ❤️
Love the grip itself. But I have to take the new one off in order to use mag car mounts. Or adjust to find the sweet spot so it doesn’t fall off. The adhesive version never gave me that issue. It stuck to other magnets and metal PERFECT. And I now see I can’t choose to buy the adhesive one either. Kind of a bummer.
So Ive had a Snap grip through a number of different iterations and they've come a long way. But the real defining moment for me happened at work a few years back. I work in high angle construction building high ropes courses and we work with a lot of heavy machinery. One day at work during lunch I was sitting on the bucket of a piece of machinery and I magneted my phone on the side of the machine while I ate. Lunch time comes to an end and I just up and go about my work having forgot about the phone. Its not until the end of the day that I check my pockets and realize I had left it stuck to the side of the machine! In the meantime, the machine has also been going about its work day digging, grading, loading dirt, etc. After a few hours, the machine got loaded onto a flat bed truck and returned to the rental company. Upon realizing my mistake, I thought my phone was toast! But my boss was nice enough to drive to the rental place the next day and check. Mind you we were working in prescott AZ and the rental company was in Scottsdale, hours away. But lo and behold when my boss showed up at the rental place, there was my phone still suck to the side of the loader, albeit dirty, but otherwise unscathed!It stayed attached for 3 hours of heavy work, then stayed on the truck for 5 miles of dirt road and another 100 or so miles of freeway travel. So yeah, I'd definitely say that the Snap's magnet system is a 10/10.
This product was really appealing because of how thin it is, but I can't get the wireless charging to work and it never settles back into place properly when it does. The slightest movement makes it extend again so it's never flat.
I love snap phone grip. My hands are silly small and this makes it ridiculously weird to hold my phone. Love all the options with this grip and the color is outstanding!!
The snap grip works perfectly. It’s easy to use, you can hold it multiple ways. And I love that you can use it as a stand.The only down side after using it for about 2 months is the matte coating on the outermost ring slowly starts to chip off. This has no affected the function it’s just something to be aware of if that would bother you.
