Improved in many ways

I had one of the first Oh snaps and there are many things that are better now. The way the Oh snap comes out, the way it retracts, how thin it is, and the colors are all improvements. The smooth bevel around the edge is even better than before as well. The magnet in the new is not as strong. It’s strong enough to stick to my phone securely, but my old one could stick to my fridge or on a machine at the gym even the main pillar of my car. But this new has trouble with those. It’s just not as strong as it used to be. Also the wireless charging capability of my phone is diminished with this model. When I put it on my charging pad at home or in my car it does not do wireless charging consistently
I have purchased multiple times with ohsnap with amazing results but this last purchase was not lit the rest . First it took weeks to ship and room a email to get any shipping info . Now my snap grip doesn’t secure properly after a couple days .
The new grip was an aggravation from the start. The magnet was weaker so it was difficult to properly mount my phone on any QI charger. It wouldn’t just snap into the correct alignment, you had to move it slowly back and forth and hope that you find the right placement. When I could get it to stick to the QI charger in my car, sometimes the grip would stay on the QI Charger and I would walk away without my grip. After many days of frustration I went back to the prior version and it has solved my issues. The new grip was a waste of money. I bought the new grip thinking it would keep the magnet strength while losing the adhesive so I could remove the grip when I wanted to. Even though I have a mag safe phone case, the new grip doesn’t work well.
I love Snap Grip 4, and I was super excited for Snap Grip 5. I am not disappointed. I think that there is room for stronger magnets. That is my only complaint.Oh boo hoo, without adhesive my grip sticks to the back of my stove instead of my phone, and I can't stick my phone onto the frame of my desk. These are very incredibly minor... I don't even want to call them issues because they are barely even inconveniences.I notice that the ring is a bit thicker than before, that bodes well for durability.I also really like the slightly grippy stuff on the bottom of the middle part, that helps combat unwanted rotation.All considered, a very good advancement for Snap Grip's lineup, especially with the return of a nice dark blue.
