I like that there is no adhesive needed on the 5, but unfortunately they did this by using weaker magnets on the outfacing side. Unfortunately they are not strong enough to hold up my phone my fridge anymore. It also doesn’t snap onto a wireless charger anymore, not as big a deal but it does take longer to place now. The paint/coating is also chipping off already which is unfortunate. The 4’s coating was much more durable.
I bought 2 of these based on the advertised features. It doesn’t charge on the cordless MagSafe chargers but for a couple minutes then quits, I tried a couple different brands. The magnet on the back doesn’t hold my wife’s apple wallet secure enough to feel safe about not loosing it those, are the cons. I chose my favorite features below if they where to work correctly.
Good for some purposes but not if you use your popsocket a lot.

If you don’t use your popsocket much, it’s fine. I personally use it constantly when holding my phone or putting something on in the car. It’s not that great in that case. Maybe the next version will be a little better but I’m gonna stick with a traditional sturdy popsocket for now.Pros:- Stuck on very well by magnets- thin and can be used with chargers you lay your phone onCons:- Hard to use with one hand- Must be positioned in the perfect rotation m to work without constant adjusting. - Doesn’t sit well in car mounts with popsocket holders- Flimsy and doesn’t close without adjusting half the time.
Great phone grip that doesn’t stick out, it’s so low profile it doesn’t constantly get caught on your pockets. Way more comfortable than anything else I have tried.
More stylish than pop socket & easier to hold. Biggest downside is that the magnet for magsafe cases is quite weak. Never ever had my pop socket disconnect from the magnet. & it’s happened a few times with the ohsnap.
Thought this product would be better than a pop socket but it’s way worse. Although it sits more flush than one, this is much less easy to “pop” up. Also, if you don’t have extremely small fingers, you will struggle with this.
