Still great, but feels less secure

I think this is the third generation of Snap Grip I've owned. I don't love it as much as the earlier version with the rubber strip, which was more snug/secure for one finger, and had a sturdier connection for stand-up mode. This one definitely has more ways you can use it, so credit to the designers for that, but overall the flexible plastic and the free-spinning base feel less secure to me.Still, love the magnetic attachment and how slim it is compared to other pop sockets and grips, and perfectly understated (looking at you, Boring Black).
I like the feel of the 5 but the magnet is just not as strong as the snap 4 when it comes to the snap charging mount and the snap car mount and the everywhere mount. . It is very weak. I have bought 3 of the snap 5 thinking I had a defects but nope. IMO the 5 is a downgrade from the 4. Please bring back the 4!
I'm kinda disappointed with the gen 5. My husband and I both had the older snap grips with the adhesive ring and loved them. The gen 5 not so much. The soft touch finish or whatever is not tactilely pleasing and it's thicker than the prior version (albeit still thin in comparison to other brands). It also does not play well with the car mount; husband had to switch back to his old snap grip with the adhesive ring. I don't use a car mount so I'm keeping the gen 5 for now. I do like the ease of popping it off to wirelessly charge.
The case is almost perfect for my needs. It's great overall, but I wish it didn't have to be removed for wireless charging, and the full upright position stand isn't as high as I would like. I might consider getting a different MagSafe kickstand case, but it's still pretty cool!
Really love this company and have bought many of their products however, I really don’t like how the new snap grips only have the magnet. I frequently keep my phone in my back pocket and with only the magnet the grip kept coming off when I would take my phone out of my pocket. After less than 2wks I have lost the snap grip that I just purchased. I think i would’ve preferred it had the adhesive like the earlier versions
