Weak Magnet and Not Worth the Upgrade

I’ve owned several older versions of this product, and after using the Snap Grip 5 for about a week, I’m honestly disappointed—mainly with the magnet strength.While the magnet connects very well to my iPhone, it performs poorly when attaching to gym equipment or MagSafe chargers. I use an Apple-brand MagSafe charger in my car, and my phone constantly falls off. Since I rely on my phone for navigation, this is extremely frustrating and not what I’d expect from a product at this price point. At the gym, when I attach it to a rack, my phone slowly slides down instead of staying firmly in place. With the Snap Grip 4, once it stuck to something, it stayed put.I upgraded to the Snap Grip 5 because the adhesive on my Snap Grip 4 was starting to catch when rotating the phone. Unfortunately, the MagSafe connection on the 5 only works intermittently. Most of the time, I have to remove the grip just to charge my phone. Because of this, I often forget to put it back on in the morning, which is another annoyance.That said, there are a few things I do like about the Snap Grip 5. The grip is removable, which I have to do to use my phone in the car. It’s very thin, and the color matches my phone nicely.Overall, if you already have the Snap Grip 4, I don’t think the Snap Grip 5 is worth upgrading to. If you’re looking for a grip that reliably magnetizes to gym equipment or securely connects to a car charger, this isn’t worth the money. However, if your main priority is a thin, removable grip that matches your phone’s color, this might work for you.
Bought one of these tried it for less than 10 minutes and went back into the store and returned it. Didn't work as I thought the pop out grip is made from thin flimsy plastic for sure going back to a pop socket
The pop socket looks great. I just can’t get used to holding the phone with my fingers in it. I guess it’s in a weird place. Maybe my hands are too big or my phone is too small. The kickstand really doesn’t work either . Maybe it’s a learning curve holding the phone and typing. I’ll keep at it. I usually just end up holding the phone with both hands and typing like I don’t have a pop socket on it.
I love everything about this grip, one thing that might be able to be improved. When you snap it open, it doesn’t open very much so you kinda have to wiggle your fingers in. Making it hard to function with your one phone hand. If it had a little bit more pop and easier to slide your one or two fingers in the grip, it would be perfect!
There is so much to love about this phone grip! I would love to give it a 5 star review however the material used for the inside fold is a bit flimsy and sometimes after holding it with your finger inside, it has some trouble folding flat again. I do love how flat it is, that it is magnetic, and that it has a variety of hold options. I am just worried about the durability of the folding parts. So far I am glad I bought it and do not regret my purchase.
