While I prefer the prongs being made of a thicker material and more durable, the grip is no longer compatible with a Macsafe charge along with it being a weaker magnet than the snap grip 4 when stuck onto other magnets causing it to easily disconnects from the case as well. Overall, I prefer the Snap grip 4 over the Snap grip 5.
New iPhone and new cover so I wanted to get a matching grip. My phone cover manufacturer wanted me to get a circle grip that looked super uncomfortable (and no way to try before I buy).). Then I found Oh Snap 5! Love it! Arthritic hands and I still can hold my phone comfortably.
Build quality is top notch. And, does everything I want it to. The pass-through qi charging works good. Unfortunately, my Toyota charging pad is pretty weak and it has always struggled to charge my phone regardless of what case/no case I have on.
Prior Ohsnap 4 has amazing charge thru ability on magnetic charger stand. The new 5 doesn’t connect [very well] on charger, and charging is hit or miss, mostly miss! Very disappointed! I got the 5 for ability to easily remove to allow use with car’s built in charger pad. I don’t want to have to remove at home on magnetic stand charger! Why does 4 charge thru, but, supposed, thinner 5 does not?
Bought myself and my wife this grip because we had the very first iteration and liked it back then in its infancy. Gen 5 is insanely nice. Extremely slim, feels solid and not like it’s going to break every time I hold it. The kickstand is super neat as well. Worth the money!
