Sleek low profile design. The plus is there is no adhesive to attached to the case like the older model however, I feel the magnet isn’t as strong as the older one especially when used on the car mount. The kickstand is ok. Very unstable since it’s rounded, the phone falls over easily
The Ohsnap 5 is a masterclass in "fixing" things until they’re broken. To save me from a tiny circle of adhesive, they’ve gifted me a grip that treats my wireless charger like a sworn enemy and has a magnetic personality so weak it won't even hold onto my mounts anymore. I’ve traded a functional, set-it-and-forget-it grip for a high-maintenance accessory I have to rip off my phone every time I want to charge or connect to a magnetic mount. It’s the first "upgrade" I’ve ever bought that actually gave me more chores to do. If you love the idea of a phone grip that refuses to work with your chargers or your mounts, the 5 is a dream come true. For everyone else, the older version was the real MVP.
I love the new finish and the color, the grip sticks nicely to my phone. The external magnetic "stick' is much weaker than before. I used to be able to stick my phone to my fridge or my car and now it slides right off.
Slim, study and wonderful to use. If you have big sausage fingers it’s basically a no go for you though. Charging catch: With SnapGrip on if you try charging it with MagSafe it slowly discharges over night a few percent. It says it’s charging but it doesn’t. I have a iPhone 17 Pro Max, OEM Apple Silicon Case with OEM apple mag safe charger. I wish it would charge properly with the equipment I have but it doesn’t. I have to remove the grip or charge with a cord. Little bit inconvenient hence why it got 4/5 stars as it will probably work fine with a Snaps case and or charger.
I like the new design with no need for the metal circle put on with adhesive. This holds securely to my Mag Safe case and is very slim. I do have to remove it to use my Apple magnetic charger; I have not tried it with an ohsnap charger.
I started with the grip 4 and loved it. I bought the car mount to go with it. Never had a problem with the 4. When I upgraded to the 5 on my new phone, I was pleased with the grip itself and the option to remove it. It attaches to my Pixel Snap case and stays attached pretty well. I am disappointed with the way it attaches to the car mount. I am using the official OhSnap car mount so that's not the problem. The external attachment magnets that connect it to the car mount are just not as strong as the ones on the Snap Grip 4. It regularly falls off the magnetic mount which is a problem I never had with the 4.
