Good product, just not really made for avid Snap 4 fans.

The Snap 5 isn’t a bad product at all, but it feels like it was designed for a different use case than the Snap 4. The stronger phone-facing magnets and adhesive-free design are nice, but the outward-facing magnets are noticeably weaker, which takes away one of the best features of the Snap 4: being able to securely stick your phone to metal surfaces and other magsafe objects.I think Ohsnap overcorrected in trying to make the design completely adhesive-free. The Snap 4 adhesive was reusable and already worked well for people who prioritized maximum magnetic strength.I’d love to see Ohsnap offer two versions going forward: one adhesive-free model focused on easy removal and case swapping, and another “Classic” or “Max” version that keeps the stronger outward magnets and the adhesive. That would serve both types of users instead of forcing one design to compromise between them.
Highly recommend! Definitely worth the price. It sticks to metal surfaces like a champ, which is especially handy when I’m cooking in the kitchen or doing laundry—I can stick it right to the fridge or my stackable washer/dryer.No tape or adhesive is needed; it attaches directly to the back of my phone case and works with MagSafe. It’s also super thin and fits easily in my pocket without adding extra bulk.For me, the slim design is by far the best feature, especially for walks and exercise. Convenient, versatile, and easy to use!
I have to be honest with you. I’m not crazy about it. I like the fact that it is so compact and flat to the case, but I don’t like it because you either have to take the phone case off to charge it or you have to take the grip off! I wish you could just charge it with that on there. It would be such a good product.
I haven't had it very long, but in the time I have had it the magnet fell off once and my phone went flying. And it does not behave as a kickstand to hold up my phone. The idea was great, and I was excited for it, but it definitely does not live up to the hype.
Magnets were falling off. Just put a claim online and it was very quick, and within a week I had my new oh snap. It was amazingly easy. At first I wasn’t gonna do it. I tried using a pop socket again, but it’s so hard from going to this and back to pop socket. It’s just too bulky. And the magnetic side of it that holds the phone up is a game changer
Really loved the first grip I bought a few years ago, but the new version seems to have a weaker magnet. Because the grip is thinner than my phone’s camera bumps, the magnet already doesn’t make full contact with the surface. That plus the weaker magnet means my phone ends up sliding down vertical surfaces, which isn’t great.
I loved my previous OhSnap, which is exactly why I bought the new one to go with my new phone. Unfortunately, the magnets are far too weak to hold an iPhone Pro Max on other accessories, including OhSnap's own wall mount that I bought for my last grip. It doesn't hold on my car mount, charging stand, or anything else the way the previous generation did, so I constantly have to remove the grip. That's pretty inconvenient, especially since the old one attached so reliably to everything.On the positive side, it's removable, unlike the stick-on version, so it can easily move with me if I change cases. The quality is also excellent, as it always has been, and it still holds well to plain metal surfaces.Some people will love it, but for others like me, it misses the mark because of the weak hold on other accessories.
