Product really isn't that great. Coming from the sturdiness and stability of a real pop socket this product feels like junk. It doesn't stay open once you open it, its limp. So if you take fingers out and go back with muscle memory often times its half closed and you miss and drop your phone. When closed, it doesn't snap or magnet close, im not sure exactly the method but it easily comes up, cause a a way snag or bump the phone out of your hand. The "one finger" method opens the linkage the opposite direction and if you try to close it that way your folding the linkage backwards on itself, clearly going to cause failure down the road. All this and I haven't even tried mounting it to my mag charger yet. I had high hopes for this product but for me it missed on just about every mark. The magnets are good, that's about it.
I was a long time pop socket user and switched because of the charge through capabilities. I liked it until it stopped snapping back. There are some small fingers type things to pop the tab up, once these twist and don’t go back together fluidly it’s toast and all you do is fight to close it.
This magnet is not nearly as strong as my previous grip. I regret getting a color. Not sure if it’s the color coating that makes the magnet not as strong. At the gym, I used to mount my phone by the magnet on the rack. Now it slides right down with the new oh snap grip in the coating pink color. I will only purchase black grips from here on out. Very disappointed.
I love the ability to hold and use the kick stand but the claim that you can charge though it is true but it gets hot. I worry as it makes my phone laggy that it’s over heating it. Also the magnets to have it stick to metal isn’t as strong as I would like either. Those where functions I was really excited about but I catch myself having to watch to make sure it doesn’t fall off what I have stuck it to, and I have to take it off to wirelessly charge.
Overall the Snap 5 is just ok. I had the snap 4 previously and I prefer it much more. Everything about the Snap 5 seems like a step backwards—weaker magnets, thicker profile, etc. I loved my snap 4, it’s a shame I only have the option to buy an inferior product now.
I got the sunset color and I have the pixel 11 pro. I have the leather Bellroy case and the grip looks like it was made by the same company with how well the colors match. Brilliant choice. Same for if you have the phone naked - it matches the Canyon color scheme
After a few days of use, it was already not staying flat when not in use. But I could sort of get it to go in if I played with it for a minute. But now, about 2.5 weeks in, it’s just permanently out. The magnet is great, so the overall piece stays in place. But the actual piece that goes around a finger is not good if you need it to be flat when not in use.
