I'm only complaint is the strength of the magnet from the Grip to other surfaces. The strength of the Grip to the phone is perfect. I had the Grip 4 previously, and never had the same issues sticking to magnetic surfaces. Even the Ohsnap wireless charging stand barely holds on, however the Grip 4 held just fine.I bought two Grip 5s, so I dont know if I just got a bad batch or not, but it's possible.
I loved and still use my 4th gen version. Thought maybe the r 5 would be better but it was quite opposite. -magnets don’t stick very good -iPhone pro (not the max) would slide down metal surfaces when stuck-snap grip would come off my phone since there’s no adhesive-the plastics on the grip would fold in on itself and not close right -grip would not stay locked when not in use Overall this version reminds me of the 1st or 2nd gen. I tried both and had a horrible experience. Gave this company another shot for the 4th and thought they did amazing with that. Now this 5th gen let me down.
Not sure if it’s a common issue but my grip arrived with the adhesive seemingly half peeled up to where I had to completely remove it just to use the grip, as well as the rotating center of the grip not rotating while attached to a case, only when it is removed does it turn freely. It’s unfortunate as the grip seemed like it would be better than the alternatives.
This is the Best magnetic grip i have found. It has many pluses. Strong magnetic grip, multiple ways to place fingers, kick stand on hard surfaces, charge thru grip and thin.Minuses are finger hole thru middle, my favorite, is too small for my fingers. Still works but tight. Charge thru ability doubles charge time. Which is unavoidable due to electrical inductive laws. Still great for overnight charging. i pop mine off for fast inductive charging. This unit is great. If they make one with a larger thru hole without increasing diameter, so it doesn't hit mt camera hole in my case, i will buy another.
