Snap 5 is a downgrade for me

I’ve used the Snap Grip for the past three years and loved it because it’s flat and didn’t need to be removed to charge my iPhone — it was a game changer.After upgrading to an iPhone 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange, I was excited to order the Snap 5 in a matching color. While I like that it’s removable (no adhesive), the magnetic connection to my chargers is noticeably weaker. In my car, my phone constantly falls off the charger, which is extremely frustrating.Support suggested removing the Snap Grip while charging, but that defeats the entire reason I’ve used Snap all these years. For me, this is a major downgrade. Since the Snap 4 has been discontinued, I’ll be looking online to buy and stock up on them because I can’t use this new version. Unfortunately, they’ve lost a customer.
This is a rockin snap grip! Seems flimsy when you first deploy it, but it's held up so far. Magsafe charges through the grip, although it sometimes gets pretty hot when doing so.
i've been a snap user for a long time, but this new version that's magnet only is a total bust. i absolutely hate it. it comes off constantly. i only had it for a few weeks before i ultimately lost it, and in that time it was a struggle to keep it connected to my phone. i never had this problem with previous versions. doing away with the adhesive was a huge mistake. make the product worthless.
I been purchasing snap grips since the version 2 and I really like how they keep improving them each time. I like this because of the strong magnets, the thinness and is adhesive free. BUT one complaint I have is the “soft coating” layer they put on this version gets discolored and peels within days ! I had to return one because of this and the new one had the same issue... I ended up peeling it all off and now it looks much nicer and cleaner with the regular aluminum showing. I hope they can get rid out of the coating.
i’m disappointed with this product. The grip is very flimsy and difficult to hold. I had hoped I would be able to use it in my car phone holder that accommodated my old pod, but that did not work out.
Easy to open. Spins freely. Props well for landscape but not for portrait. Can still charge thru it. Great color. Love that no adhesive needed. Perfect thickness (thinness) to work with my new iphone 17 pro max case.
I love the thinness & the magnet works well & it's comfortable. The open and close mechanism sucks. I can never close it because the interlocking things always bend!
