The magnet is weaker than the ohsnap 4. Snapping onto gym metal equipment or my car magnet mount (not ohsnap mount) with the 4 was no problem, very strong hold. The 5 seems to need just the right alignment or it slides off. The build of the folding plastic piece for the grip seems sturdier. And overall the 5 feels sleeker, but I think at the expense of stronger magnetic hold. Which for me is a big factor as I use it very day.
It's not as cool as I thought it would be. I was disappointed at first as I couldn't figure out how to use it as a kick-stand but finally found the spots to lock it into place for a kickstand. THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS that explain it. I don't know if I'll continue to use it. After having it a week, I almost never flip it out to hold my phone in my hand and I have only used the kickstand a couple of times for only a few seconds at a time.
The product first off took 4 weeks to be delivered which was a turn off but I’ve owned ever model of these and they have only gotten worse over the years. The one I just got is already not clicking back in correctly, and if you want to use on a case it won’t hold with the case it has to be on just the phone sadly... This company is marketing like insane to try and save their product that’s getting insanely worse. Maybe focus on improving your product quality instead of dumping everything on false ads.
I love the colors and the optional adhesive is an improvement. That said these magnets aren't as strong as the previous generation (luxe 4). I've already had issues with the phone falling off the car mount on bumpy rides. That never happened with the luxe 4
Broke trying to take it off so I can use my MagSafe power bank. I’m used to being able to take the back dongle off easily, I normally use Rokform but gave this a try because I have an mcon on preorder and wanted to see this company’s build quality. I’m scared but still excited to have a joystick on my phone. Hopefully it doesn’t break just taking it off!
