Cute, but

I bought one for each member of my family. They look nice on our phones and do work as a stand, BUT our phones don’t wirelessly charge with the OhSnap product on our phones. We have to remove the OhSnap from our phones to charge wireless. Unfortunately these are a waste of money.
I’ve been an OhSnap user since the very first version and every time I think “This is the best one yet” because they’ve continuously improved the product, sometimes drastically between versions. And I didn’t even know how they were going to improve on the 4...and well the fixed the only thing that bothered me about is that it was a pain to take it off and put it back on. The 5 has insanely strong magnets, like 3-4x the grip strength of standard MagSafe. There seems to be no amount of normal arm movement that can make your phone fall off. Extreme circumstances, I have no idea, but it shouldn’t fall off under regular use. It’s just shy of being a pain to get off, but if you can’t get it with a fingernail and credit card will do. Overall very happy. Didn’t fix what was working, and added the ability to put on a case at will.
I purchased 3 Snap Grips in hopes a giving a great Christmas present. I attached one to my cell phone and it lasted approximately 1 hour. I did one spin and the grip would no longer close. It hangs out catching on everything. It does not prop your phone up. Maybe I got a bad unit, but this thing does nothing like the advertisement. I would like a refund please.
I purchased my snap grip five a few weeks ago and there are some positives and negatives. The positives are it’s a very trim fit so it does not hang up when you put your phone in your pocket. It has a strong magnet, but the magnet does pop off if the phone is dropped. The other issue I have is the finger hole is difficult to get your finger in and the plastic stand is flimsy. It also has problems lying flat after you have been using the finger hole for too long. It does take some time to get used to it but so far it’s good enough that I have not replaced it. I think it could be improved by beefing up the materials a bit so that it’s not so flimsy.
First, this unit feels incredibly flimsy because it’s so thin and lightweight. It seems to be very durable though. This is my first time using something like this and I’m still not in the habit of using it but I like it so far. I got it on the Black Friday sale but I feel that it was still a little high for what it is. I’ve read where people complain about the magnet not being strong enough, that’s not the case with mine, it’s plenty strong.
Not happy at all with the new grip. First off, the magnet is about half the strength as the previous models. Thought the nonstick was gonna be a pro but it’s a con for sure. Old version was very strong and sturdy magnet, now my phone slides down and won’t stay up. The grip comes off a bit to easy sometimes also making it a drop hazard. It slips off of my car mount too, I like what they tried to do with the 5 but please go back to the older design! Loved my first two grips but this was just a let down.
While the ultra slim profile is welcoming, it is also quite flimsy and does not support the weight of an iPhone pro 17. Additionally, the pop out feature is cumbersome and requires locking it in to hold, rather than maintaining different positions. Overall, this is very disappointing if you prefer to prop up your phone, especially in portrait positions.
