Fell off and Lost Forever

The magnet is not strong enough. I haven’t even had it a month, and it somehow disappeared. It came off the back of my phone somewhere, and despite giving it about a week to turn up and searching everywhere, it’s gone.It’s a bummer because I actually liked it and had already ordered the matching car mount. The good news is that my phone still works fine with the car mount, but I expected the grip itself to stay attached better than this.
I had the snap grip 4 previously, but I wanted to get the one in a color to match my case and by that time the 5 was out. So I figured it would be basically the same thing. I got my 5, and now I've had an issue with my phone not wirelessly charging while using it. It would start to charge and then stop a few minutes later so it died a few times because of this. I thought that was really odd because I never had that issue with my snap grip 4. After looking into it the grip 5 has false advertising all over the place claiming it has the wireless pass through charging, but then their FAQs specifically day you have to remove it to charge. And this thing is a nightmare to get off the phone because of how solid it holds, which would normally be great. I just really hate that everything still claims it has pass through and it doesn't actually work because that's a huge part of why you'd use this.
The ‘outward grab’ is significantly reduced with this new version. A huge benefit to my previous ohsnap adhesive grip was that I could stick my phone to a huge range of metal surfaces and it would STAY PUT. The new grip seems to have just barely enough outward grab to support the weight of the phone, it feels much less secure when I stick it to metal surfaces. I can now only stick it to about half the surfaces I used to be able to, and on the other half it’s got just enough grab to keep my phone against the surface as it slides down to the ground (metal doors, metal shelving, etc.) Everything else about the grip is wonderful - easy to use, much more secure in the hands than a pop socket, super versatile. I hope they will consider a slightly stronger ‘outward grab’ option in the future
I do not find this pop socket easy to use or comfortable. I’ve had others, while slightly bulkier, that you can at access and open with one hand and can comfortably use at any angle. I’m completely and utterly disappointed in this product!
I like the feel and function when on the phone. But I have to take it off in order to use my desk charger. So far I have forgotten to put it back on my phone 100% of the time. So yeah while it’s on the phone I like it. But it has been off the phone more than on the phone since I got it. Do I need to buy another wireless charger? Does this even work with wireless chargers?
The OhSnap! Snap Grip mates well with my Google PIXEL 10 Pro cellphone. The diameter and circumference exactly match the 🧲 magnetic circle on the back of my mobile device. It's very thin as advertised and the finger hold stays flat and unobtrusive when not in use.Contrary to the video marketing promotion that had drawn me to purchase the Snap Grip was the aspect of the device making one's phone stick to magnetic 🧲 capable metal (like steel) surfaces in the vertical position. This aspect had great appeal to me but I am sadly disappointed this feature is what I personally deem as false advertisement. I do recognize that perhaps my cellphone is too heavy and its weight simply overcomes the magnetic 🧲 strength of the Snap Grip -- since, by itself unattached to a cellphone, it will stick to vertical metal surfaces. I will keep the product for its hand-holding function, but I just wish it would help my cellphone stick to metal surfaces as advertised.
In theory it’s a good idea and useful but I have to remove it to wirelessly charge my phone (17pro) in both my car and home overnight. Will probably not buy another one in the future.
I bought the OG grip on a whim and fell in love. I absolutely adore how I can slap it on my toolbox at work or the fridge at home and leave it there (thanks magnets!!) it definitely is the ultimate fidget and I sometimes catch myself popping the edge up and down listening to the click. As long as they keep up production and reliability, I’ll keep buying them!! (It’s hard to take a picture of the back of your phone when you’re using it so here ya go)My ONLY problem is bc I work in a machine shop, the metal shavings I encounter, whether they’ve appeared in my pocket or clung to my machine, the finish over the magnetic part seems to wear out quicker than usual. Not their fault but something worth mentioning for anyone in the trades that always has their phone in a side pocket or something
