I loved and still use my 4th gen version. Thought maybe the r 5 would be better but it was quite opposite. -magnets don’t stick very good -iPhone pro (not the max) would slide down metal surfaces when stuck-snap grip would come off my phone since there’s no adhesive-the plastics on the grip would fold in on itself and not close right -grip would not stay locked when not in use Overall this version reminds me of the 1st or 2nd gen. I tried both and had a horrible experience. Gave this company another shot for the 4th and thought they did amazing with that. Now this 5th gen let me down.
This is the Best magnetic grip i have found. It has many pluses. Strong magnetic grip, multiple ways to place fingers, kick stand on hard surfaces, charge thru grip and thin.Minuses are finger hole thru middle, my favorite, is too small for my fingers. Still works but tight. Charge thru ability doubles charge time. Which is unavoidable due to electrical inductive laws. Still great for overnight charging. i pop mine off for fast inductive charging. This unit is great. If they make one with a larger thru hole without increasing diameter, so it doesn't hit mt camera hole in my case, i will buy another.
The charging stand I use next to my bed aligns initially but doesn't stay charging with the snap grip 5 attached to my case. I have to remove it every night before bed.
Am I trippin or is this new model SO much worse than the past ones? I had the last model with the adhesive tape and that snap grip was always secured firmly to everything I stuck it on. The snap grip 5? Can barely hold my phone up, even in my car with the oh snap brand car mount. Save your money.
It’s so good I forget it’s even there... until I remember I have the privilege of holding my phone effortlessly. Then my mind is blown again when I stick it to metal. Total game changer. Can’t believe I waited until version 5
