New iPhone and new cover so I wanted to get a matching grip. My phone cover manufacturer wanted me to get a circle grip that looked super uncomfortable (and no way to try before I buy).). Then I found Oh Snap 5! Love it! Arthritic hands and I still can hold my phone comfortably.
Build quality is top notch. And, does everything I want it to. The pass-through qi charging works good. Unfortunately, my Toyota charging pad is pretty weak and it has always struggled to charge my phone regardless of what case/no case I have on.
Prior Ohsnap 4 has amazing charge thru ability on magnetic charger stand. The new 5 doesn’t connect [very well] on charger, and charging is hit or miss, mostly miss! Very disappointed! I got the 5 for ability to easily remove to allow use with car’s built in charger pad. I don’t want to have to remove at home on magnetic stand charger! Why does 4 charge thru, but, supposed, thinner 5 does not?
Bought myself and my wife this grip because we had the very first iteration and liked it back then in its infancy. Gen 5 is insanely nice. Extremely slim, feels solid and not like it’s going to break every time I hold it. The kickstand is super neat as well. Worth the money!
The device doesn’t work if you use a phone case. It won’t stick to it with the magnetic and the magnetic charge doesn’t work if it’s installed because it’s too far from the phone’s surface.
So if we go off the ad that said it could basically do everything. Well it's thin and compact, simple to use, supports as said multiple holding methods. It can be moved around on the back of the phone with ease using the mag ring that also has a semi sticky layer on it. The kickstand is great, 1 finger and 2 finger works well. It seems very well made and durable. So where'd it come up short? It would no QI charge with it placed in the middle of my phone. Almost a deal breaker but putting it low on my older SE 2 iphone it QI charged and that was a better position for holding the phone so it works. It did not work through my case but it is a thicker design. So maybe a newer phone and thinner case these problems change. The magnetic does not hold like in the ad, funny thing happens while mag helps hold the ring to the phone once you try to stick it on something metal it tends to let go of the phone, so wouldn't trust it holding my phone even it seems to stick could likely come loose and fall and bye bye phone. Still for it's thin application, single and double utilitarian use, still seems durable with minimal materials.. I give it at least 4 stars and I'm still using it.
