Good, not great

I’ve been an oh snap fan since the first grip. 2 has been my favorite in terms of comfort and durability, I’m extremely tough on my grips. The legs of 3 and 4 feel so flimsy and I finally broke not one but two grips of the 4. They did last several months each but I feel like I got so much more longevity out of the 1 and 2 gens. The legs are the biggest downfall, I will repurchase the 4 instead of the 5 right now since easy swapping isn’t a big deal to me compared to the cost...but I have a feeling until the legs are upgraded I will keep breaking my grips :/ I love how low profile it is but I’d rather have another 1 to 2 mm thickness to have stronger legs!
Few points of this newest model. I like the no adhesive but I noticed the magnetic force is weaker on this one vs the older one I have. The coating is pleasant to touch and feel, but it also scratching and looks poorly after scratched. I had my phone on a mag holder in my truck. I hit a bump hard and it knocked my phone off and it fell. My mat had dry dirt in the floor mat and some of the dirt magnetized to the ring part... I tryed to brush it all of before re connecting it to my windshield mount.. and I like that I can easily spin my phone from vertical to horizontal. Well some small bits were still between the ohsnapn and the mag mount and it scrapped the coating off badly.. and the feel after was very unpleasant. I ordered this new one to replace that one. I’m trying to more careful with my scratching this one so quickly. So I wish the coating was stronger like cerakote or something. But overall I love these for my minimalist phone setup.
After using they product 3 days the pop part would not snapback into place. Couldn’t use the magnetic charger because it didn’t pop back into place. Disappointed...
I bought an S25 Ultra and magsafe case, then wanted a removable grip since the phone is large. I originally went with my previous gen oh snap grip that was magsafe and held with adhesive. It didn't allow me to charge wirelessly. I bought the new magsafe oh snap grip so I could remove it for wireless charging. The only con now is that the SPen doesn't work properly when the oh snap grip is attached. That's my big flaw, plus I've had the grip fall off many times. The case is a Mous.
I have a Version 4 grip that I love. It used a reusable adhesive to attach to the case. It held strong and the magnets in the Oh Snap ring would grip to magnetic mounts very well. Better than any MagSafe cases would. Now Version 5 uses magnets to hold onto to your case so the magnets in the ring that would grip a magnetic mount can no longer be as strong as before because the ring might stay on the mount when you remove the phone instead of sticking to the phone and coming with you. A plain MagSafe case now attaches to the magnetic mounts better than the OhSnap 5 ring will. I'm very disappointed. By the way, I have never had a charger not charge the phone with this ring on it. There was no reason to ever remove the ring easily, so the adhesive was just fine. Go back to the adhesive!
The magnet is weak. When I pop it open it the design gets stuck and won’t stick back most of the time. And the only comfortable thing way to use it is with the finger in hole. The only good thing is how thin it is and the stand .
The sleekness is nice, love the magnetic feature as well. However, the thinness of the plastic makes the grip a bit uncomfortable. It’s not soft on your fingers, especially when you grip it the wrong way, it feels like plastic stabbing into your fingers. Also, because the plastic is so thin, it bends in ways you don’t expect and therefore doesn’t close properly due to the plastic bending out of shape. It forces you to have to manually bend the plastic properly so it can close. I think taking that into consideration for the next version would really help a lot, thin is cool until it gets in the way of everyday use.
