Weak Magnet

This new version isn’t as good as the last. The magnet isn’t as strong, and it falls off the charger and the stand in my car and on my desk all day long. It’s super annoying.
Love the low profile design. Wireless charging... However, not compatible with the mag-safe chargers I use (Belkin 3-in-1). The number of mornings I’ve woken up to an uncharged phone, though it’s been held in position all night). When using a MagSafe car mount, one strong pothole (I live in Philly.. these roads are riddled with bumps and potholes) and it drops off the holder. One finger mode gripping style.. I think my hands are too big (M/L). Hard to use. Head high hopes. Unfortunately, fell a little short.
I was using the Luxe 4 until I got a new phone case and ordered the new Grip 5. The Grip 5 constantly falls off of my OhSnap car holder and my OhSnap charging magnet. It will not stay on and I don’t understand why. My charger actually got so hot that it busted. I want to send them both back and get another Luxe 4 but I don’t know what to do about my charger because I’ve had it for a while and doubt it’s under warranty.
I have been using Snap Grips since the beginning, changing colors with each new iPhone. I was so excited to see that there was an orange Snap Grip tp match my new iPhone. But alas, I had to return it, and continue to use my trusty #4. The Snap Grip 5 doesn't grip as well as the #4. I know the new design is so there is no adhesive. The magnet has to be aligned "just right" to stick, and then it doesn't stick very well. Having to take it off to charge my iPhone is a pain I'd rather not deal with.Please, please, please give users a choice of Grips. The redesign is not for everyone, some don't mind the adhesive. I'm basing my ratings below on the Snap Grip 4.
I was so excited for the new Snap Grip 5 to match my updated phone and case. You can imagine my disappointment when the new 5 won't securely attach to my car mount. That was the entire reason for me going with OhSnap products. It also doesn't hold my phone on the steel door or the fridge. Looks pretty but it's ineffective.
I love the versatility in how you can use this product. However, at times it feels a little bit flimsy. I am afraid I am going to break it. Sometimes when I go to collapse it, the pieces in the middle try to fold the opposite way that they are intended to. If you bend a material back and forth too many times it usually breaks. Time will tell. Until then, I am liking the product.
