The grip was to allow MagSafe charging while in place. This only happens once in a while. Sometimes charging will even start and then go away. If I remove the grip charging works perfectly, so the issue the Grip 5 does not perform.
It's lightweight and thin which is about the only thing I like about it. The hinges dig into my fingers when using 2 fingers or shelf mode, and it's tight on my finger when using it with 1 finger thru the middle of the hinges. Would be nice if it had a couple of different "heights" when locking the disc into place. A couple of times the hinge won't close correctly and I have to bend it back into place to get it to close. Honestly if I didn't throw the box away I would send it back.
I loved the idea of the ohsnap grip from the beginning, especially with their super cool commercials that they sadly don’t make anymore. But, I didn’t purchase one until the 5th generation as it wasn’t MagSafe. Well, now it is, and let me tell you, it’s the best grip out there. I’ve had a bunch of grips and they all fail in comparison. Thinner than your camera bump, but sturdy, just buy it, you won’t regret it
I bought a snap five because I wanted the color to match my phone and now it does, but this new grip doesn’t attach as well to the phone mount in my car or my charger. Also, the crib falls off easily from the phone because it doesn’t have the adhesive like the 4. I have an iPhone and had to attach the additional sticker Magnet so that it can stay on my phone securely. So right now I have to take out the grip to attach it to those items which is annoying.
Charging with the OhSnap attached has been less effective than just temporarily removing it.Specifically, in one hour of charging with the OhSnap attached, my iPhone charged 17% from being at 0%. When the OhSnap is detached, it took 40 minutes to fully charge to 100% from 0%.Additionally, the bigger concern was that the OhSnap was VERY hot to the touch and I couldn’t hold my phone after it attempted to charge. Think, hot coffee cup without a sleeve on it. Disappointed the charging only kind of works. But fine to remove the OhSnap temporarily... but if I would have known this, I may have found a more fun version from a different company.The biggest pro of the OhSnap is its slim profile. It does sit below the bump of the iphone17 and so I am pleased with that.
was exited to try this new phone furniture, only to be disappointed . Although the profile and the functionality of Snap Grip is nice, the two & single finger holder is too small for me
