I dislike this version of the Snap grip. The magnet is way less useful. This version does not feel stable anywhere I used to stick the old one. anytime I use the new magnet I feel like I have to baby it and it will still fall. Very disappointed
I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised with this grip. I love the way it bends with my hand and there's multiple ways to use it. At first, I was thinking it'd break quite easily, and hopefully I don't snap it off, but it is more comfortable than expected. I'm also pretty impressed with how thin and low profile it is. The price is kind of high, but I thought I'd give it a chance and I'm pretty satisfied. My only small complaint is that it's harder to just pop open with one hand than a popsocket, but I'm slowly getting more used to pushing on one side to pop it open. Overall, I'm quite happy with my purchase.
I lived my Snap Grip Luxe 4, but the adhesive had given out, so it kept coming off the back of my phone. I thought upgrading the Snap Grip 5 would be a worthwhile investment. I was so very wrong! Almost everything that was good about this product has been stripped. No more charge through. Now you have to keep removing the grip any time you want to charge. Also, it’s not compatible with most of the other Oh Snap infrastructure I had already purchased.
Was at concert and dropped my phone and the snap grip popped out. The magnets on the latest version is not as strong anymore and would come off magnetic car mount on the simplest bumps at times. Wish the magnets were stronger like the version 4. Not I gotta buy another grip since I use it stick to magnetic surfaces a lot.
I think Oh Snap makes a fantastic product. I switched to the 5 as soon as the color I wanted was available, but it was not as good as the 4. My main problem? The magnetism wasn’t strong. Surfaces my phone used to firmly stick to with the 4, it was sliding down slowly with the 5. I don’t think it’s the adhesives that make the difference (I really do prefer that the 5 has no adhesives) but after trying the 5 and switching back to my 4 I can confirm the magnets in 4 are stronger and hold much firmer (not just across magnetized metal, but also on my magnet stands/chargers)
Within minutes of using it I was having problems closing it. The materials were bending in unexpected ways. I was able to adjust, but need to be careful how I use it and wasn’t expecting that. Kickstand hard to engage.
