It’s flatter but that’s about it.

Ordered mine at Christmas. It’s already failing. The color ring has worn to bare plastic in less than a month. It sits flat but after a few uses the little plastic tabs often don’t line up when I try to close it as well so it doesn’t even sit flat.Good idea just not well executed or built.
I was under the impression that I would be able to charge through the oh snap device and this was not true. Also, oh snap was very uncomfortable to my hand/fingers. I did not like this product.
I like a ring phone grip so I can hang my phone on my finger when my hands are full and I don't have a pocket, but they are bulky. I wanted to try Oh Snap because it's ultra thin and has the option to use just one finger instead of 2 like other pop sockets. The plastic middle piece seems very fragile, I'm hoping it doesn't break. For the money, I would have expected it to feel more sturdy. The one-finger option is almost pointless. I can't just slip my finger into the "ring" area like I do with a conventional ring grip, I have to use both hands to spread the pieces apart and cram my finger into the tiny tight spot. I gave the 2 stars for the thin profile and I can use my wireless charger through the grip, but I'm not very happy with the functionality of this grip and the price I had to pay. (I'm glad I got it on sale.)
I have been using OhSnap since the 3rd generation and have always liked them. I was in love with the 4, except I didn’t like the sticky reside, so I asked for the 5 for Christmas. Upon receiving it, I have found that this one is thicker and doesn’t magnetize as strong to my fridge as 4... (for context I like to stick my phone to the fridge when doing dishes or cleaning the kitchen, and this one makes my phone slowly slide down the fridge, whereas with the 4 it stayed firmly in place when stuck to the fridge). So I’m a bit disappointed.
I have 4 different colors of the snap grip 4 and 1 snap grip 5 and can confidently say the snap grip 4 is far superior! Magnet strength on the 4 is so strong is amazing and holds the phone to any object and holds my wallet strong on the phone. Unfortunately the 5 has a weak outside magnet and efuke I want to love it I just can't get past the weak magnet. It stays on the phone but the wallet falls off in my pocket constantly and the phone falls off my oh snap charger and car mount constantly. Please bring back the snap grip 4 or include the sane strong magnet strength on the snap grip 6. Thank you !
the Snap Grap 5 definitely has a different magnet setup to where it is not nearly as compatible with MagSafe iPhone accessories as the previous Snap Grip model. It does not attach nearly as strong or as easily as my previous one did, and because of this I've had it fall off of my MagSafe car mount, and struggle to attach quickly and easily to Apple's MagSafe charger for iPhone. I also use it with NOMAD's Stand One MagSafe charging base as well as a magnetic charging pad made by Belkin - and they both have had intermittent charging issues and trouble "lining up" automatically with the magnets of the Snap Grip 5.
