weak magnetic grip

The new snap grips have really weak magnets. They barely stick to my car mount or desk charger. I just upgraded from the last version of snap grip, and that one stuck wherever you put it. This one is so weak in comparison. I'm really dissatisfied.
I got a new phone so I bought another oh snap and after about 6 months of use, I have to say, I am not a fan of the new design. I thought having magnets instead of stick on would be great, but it is actually pretty annoying. Every time I drop my phone it flys off and now several of the little magnets have popped off so it falls off even easier. The part you pop out is also so much harder to pop out one handed than the old ones were. So I either end up not bothering to use it, which makes it more likely that I drop my phone or I have to use both hands. The wireless charging also doesn’t work very well when the snap is attached. Really bummed because I loved the old design and I thought I would like the updated version even more, but alas it was not for me.
I love how low profile it is. Had it for about a week so far and I really like the form and the function. Only concern is how long it will last as the hinges are very thin. Which is also a plus.
As a long-time OhSnap user, I’m really disappointed with this new version. My previous grip worked flawlessly until it broke, and I had no issues at all with magnet strength using the same phone and case setup I have now.With the Snap Grip 5, my phone slides down metal surfaces instead of holding firmly in place like it used to. The difference is very noticeable and frustrating, especially since nothing else in my setup has changed.It’s also worth noting that I’m not alone in this. Many other longtime users have reported that the external magnet feels weaker on this version.I expected an upgrade, but this feels like a step backward. Do better, OhSnap.
i’m very unhappy with my MagSafe phone grip. It doesn’t shut all the way after being opened to use as a grip. My phone fell about one foot from the ground and the outer plastic cover broke off and now it has a sharp edge. I think this is a total waste of money. I’m gonna go back to using a pop socket.
I’ve been using the ohsnap for a few years going back to the 3 and 4. I think the latest iteration is quite honestly a downgrade. I personally liked the old one adhered with adhesive. It was easy to move from case to case and had a super secure connection. Additionally, the magnet on the newest edition is weak sauce. I can’t get it to securely connect to a MagSafe device anymore. The old one would snap so hard on to MagSafe device I’d say “ohsnap” 😉. But honest feedback, revert the changes Ohsnap team! And Ohsnap will, again be a 5 star phone grip ❤️
