Description: So this thing called the OhSnap Grip showed up in my Intagram feed a few months back. Claimed to be a PopSocket killer and had a bunch of influencers telling me how great the product is. So like the blind consumers I am, I bought a couple. And it’s been a few terrible weeks with this product. Our biggest complaint? Numb finger. Pop Grip Review: Get the Rhinoshield Crashguard (fits the OhSnap perfectly): youtu.be/aAZ4Dm9zt7A Moft Wallet Review: youtu.be/QVoLGakQW6Q Our Fav 3-in-1 Charger: youtu.be/jDb8Fhfnk7Y In this video: 0:00 Intro 0:43 Pros 4:19 Cons 5:50 Wireless Charging 8:39 Vent Mount 10:21 Removal 12:35 Final Verdict #RealUsage #ReviewerNotInfluencer #UnSponsoredContent So the OhSnap Grip is essentially two pieces. You have a magnet that’s stuck to your iPhone or case and the grip. Now installation is simple right? All you have to do is stick the magnet to the iPhone and viola, everything works right? Sort of. You need to “Eyeball” the center of your iPhone and really hope you literally stick the landing of the metal piece in the right spot. I personally think they needed to come up with a neat way to help you align everything properly. At least with a bare iPhone, you can use the logo to help get the magnet on point. On a case? Good Luck. One of the great things about this product is that if you listen to the marketers, they say that the product is ready in 20 seconds. BUT if you follow, going to assume engineers who built the product, they say that you should wait overnight for the adhesive to cure. Who do you believe? Now once you’ve thumbed the center of your iPhone or case, the next step is to put the base on it and live your carefree, hand-free iPhone life right? The marketing fluff and the ads sure makes it seem like that. BUT this product has a fatal flaw. It makes your iPhone annoying to use. The OhSnap grip basically sandwiches your finger between the back of the iPhone and the OhSnap Grip. That get’s annoying and reduces the long-term usage potential of your iPhone. It does get better over time since you get use to it but after a couple of minutes, it because noticeable. On top of sandwich finger, depending on the size of your iPhone, having that weight of the iPhone sit on the end of your finger get’s hard to deal with which again, reduces the long-term usage potential of the iPhone. Especially when compared to the PopGrip which places the weight of the iPhone between your fingers. Another downside is the fact that you have to permanently mount a magnet to your iPhone. As an accessory reviewer, that’s a big annoyance because with the magnet, I can’t use anything else. I can’t swap out an iPhone accessory better suited for whatever I’m going to do on that day. At least with the PopSocket Grip I can remove it if I don’t want to use it for the day. And at least I can use it with a case. When it comes to wireless charging with the OhSnap Grip, we were able to use most of our Qi-chargers and Grip portion removed. The OhSnap Grip also worked with MagSafe Accessories as well BUT only with chargers that laid flat on a table. The OhSnap Grip couldn’t stay on our current favorite MagSafe charger, the Belkin Boost Charge Pro with the Grip portion attached. Now if you’re looking for a Qi-charger that works with the grip portion attached, OhSnap does sell one themselves. Now we went and wasted money on a car mount and qi-charger from OhSnap and both are general disappointments. For the Qi-charger, our charge tests have it charging an iPhone from 10-50% in 100 mins which is quite slow. It ranks in the bottom 1/3 in terms of charge speed. And seriously what’s the point of the Qi-charger? The beauty of wireless charging is that you can easily remove your device from the charged. Having to physically remove this incredibly show charger off a flat surface is silly. You’re basically still unplugging your device. With the car vent, OhSnap went all out and source a generic vent mount and slapped a fitted piece of metal for the grip. That’s kwality with a kw and not a qu. Hey it works but I’m not sure how these accessories fit into OhSnap’s mission of not making accessories that don’t suck. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to stay in the loop!
