OhSnap Grip Review - Numbing?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ส.ค. 2024
- 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.

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.

Wow you guys are hilarious. Dig the casual yet professional feel to your reviews.
Been seeing ads for this so much this week... thanks for doing a video on this!
"So those are the pros of the product "
*looks at the video and sees 10 mins left*
Oh boy. This Is going to be good
I’m watching all your reviews to try to find a good grip holder for my phone. You guys are super thorough!
I’ve had mine for about a year. Overtime it does get easier on the finger with regular use. To wirelessly charge, I take the ohsnap off for it to work on some of them. I haven’t had much luck charging my phone with 3 - in 1 stands due to the ring part on it. To get the ohsnap off, I stick my nail between the ohsnap and metal ring and pull it off. It’s definitely convenient for one handed use.
Hello dear Joshua. Our phone grip - Magone can support Magsafe wireless charging. When you charge your phone, you don't need to remove the phone grip.

I tried the OhSnap but, yes, it made my finger hurt and then eventually become numb. A great concept, but just didn't work for me (although my friend loves it). I still prefer PopSockets. They are so interchangeable now and the whole system is fantastic. I use the Popgrip slide and the Magsafe wallet case for my iPhone with an Otterbox magsafe case. These are great because I can swap them out depending on what I am doing and I can also change the pop-tops. I have the vent mount for the car too and that also is great (although the Ohsnap mount was definitely more secure).
Hello dear Andrea, our phone grips & stands are multifunctional. Our grip finger straps are made of silicone skin-friendly material, so your fingers can easily slide in, which is very comfortable. And we have two extra silicone straps for you, so you don't have to worry about damage. Please view our products.www.magonetech.com/products/mg201u-magsafe-adjustable-phone-grip-kickstand
I picked up the MagSafe Pop Socket for my new 13 Pro Max based on the reviews and comments off this channel. I used to use the Oh Snap 2.0 on my old iPhone 7+ without any case and it was great. I never had any numbness and I also liked that I could place the ring a little lower than center on the back of the phone as it just felt more natural down there and I could get to the bottom of the huge phone more easily.
I have to say that the MagSafe PopSocket is better because I can remove it easily, but in it’s day to day use…the Oh Snap was more natural feeling to hook a finger under it rather than slide a finger on either side of the PopSocket. Plus, I wish it sat lower on the 13 Pro Max…man, that’s a huge phone and it just feels more precarious to reach the opposite bottom corner with my thumb. Anyway…neither of these things are perfect…but it seemed like there was a bit of hyperbole in their negative opinion of the Oh Snap solution.
So much fun watching this episode!
They just came out with new version that addresses some of your cons. You should review the new version. I love mine and sometimes don't realize I am using it. They even improve their charger.
2ND! PLS REVIEW THE NEW VERSION! 🙏🏻
I have an iphone 12 pro max but have small hands so need some kind of support but also wanted something that is easily removed so I can use the magsafe charging. I bought a bunch of magnetic plates/bases from SUPERONE via Amazon and attached the popsocket bases to a few and attached a 360 degree ring to another one. The magnetic plates/bases I bought are actually strong - I had bough a 2 pack on sale and went back for more colors when I realized the magnets were strong. I’m also using with a magsafe case so i’m sure that helps too!! I did see the OhSnap as an option but I decided against b/c the elastic looked like it would be uncomfortable over time…also did not want the ring permanently attached to a case! So I am happy that this video confirms I made the right choice to avoid that OhSnap product!!! Thank you for doing what you guys do!!
Another vote here for the MagSafe Pop-grip. Easy on (though the loud “clack” worries me sometimes), easy off for charging my 12 mini on my Belkin 3-in-1.
You guys need to get their 2.0 design in hand and give that a review! It looks promising, but I (and probably others) are concerned with how many things they actually fixed with the new design.
They definitely should make that review n test out the magnetic strength, possibly a stress test on their new band as well, how strong is it w/o the metal ring on a magsafe case with a rlly strong magsafe magnet in a magnet, n if wireless charging works now. I hav one myself, but I'm an s21 ultra user n I'm still curious about what they honestly think about the new 2.0, if they delivered or not. So far tho... I've been a bit apprehensive about this since it feels like the 2.0 created more problems than solving them.
(Stuff like the new magnet seemingly weaker than their 1.0, their new band is thinner but supposedly is made of stronger material, wireles charging seems to still b an unresolved issue, n plenty more frustration from ppl who hav invested in the 1.0 ecosystem n the lack of backward compatibility or support for helping 1.0 users transition to 2.0)
I have the 2.0 and the band broke within 3 months
The 2.0 magnets that arent as strong started chipping in a couple months completely broke in 6 months just went back to using my original only problem with it is the rubber is starting to rip and it is 2+ years old
Always a great review helpful and honest ! Question: as my go to review gurus (and likely to have a bunchh of stuff to try) I have the iPhone 12 mini with a Mous case 3.0 limitless walnut (autoalign) which I love but they don' t make the new MagSafe 4.0 walnut case for the 12mini FRUSTRING!! What if I was to just get the Ohsnap magnet ring (without the loop) and used that on the case with the popsocket grip? would this hold? would I still be able to use my Apple travel MagSafe duo charger with the case and magnet on? (Of course would need to remove the popsocket grip.) would love to see if this works as a work around to have yours and mine favourite case with the popsocet grip which you also like without having to spend a bundle of replacing everything I have! Would love to see some videos of ways to trick or modify products to make your favourites work.
I want to see more of Monte! His opinion matters, too! 🙏🏻
This is the most melodramatic review I've ever seen
almost like they got paid by popsocket to trash ohsnap
even monty was like, "stop watching movies while you drive" lol
Really enjoy your videos. Keep it up eh 👍
So happy you guys made this... I was SUPER close to buying one....
But looking for an option to use as a wallet + loop! (ie I wish loopycases made a wallet)
You should still buy it's way better than all grips and all ohsnap products are MADE IN 🇺🇸.
Thanks for tearing through the marketing fluff for me!!
I wish I watched this video before purchasing. Exactly every issue you discussed I had. I’m gonna look up either the Loopy or MagSafe case now
That olivia tattoo sounds like a pain in the ass. Ty. Ty. I will be here all week!
Ive been thinking on trying oh snap. Thank god ive stumbled across this vid
wow im so glad val finally decided to appear on camera! like without a mask or shades on.. absolute stunner😍
I tried the ohsnap grip because I think pop sockets look like crap. I followed the instructions for the adhesive and waited 8 hours before trying it. Sadly, the walnut on the Mous case didn’t like their adhesive and it fell off the first time I used it. I applied some super glue and tried again and it’s been on it ever since. I like it as a stand but like you pointed out it doesn’t work nearly as well for a grip. Actually it worked best as a fidget device because I rotate it and mess with the stand part constantly.
I love my ohsnap grip! With the new 2.0 they have an alignment tool.
Thank you for this. Not gonna get one now. Aaaannnd new subscriber!
I've been using it for over a year, and I prefer the 1.0 > 2.0. I found the 2.0 much smaller and more compressing on my fingers. But upgrading to the new 14 Pro Max I finally want to take advantage of other MagSafe accesesories. Hopefully they'll make a magsafe version one day.
All yjbnyk8n
It’s moot point not mute point.
I’ve been using the oh snap grip since the iPhone 12 released and I haven’t had any issue other than wireless charging. It can be a bit finicky but I rarely charge it wirelessly anyways so it’s not a big deal for me.
Was waiting on this one!
I've had mine for about 8 months now, and I can say the tightness problem does get a lot better with use and now I never even realize it. The rubber gets looser, but the drawback is the "snap" part doesn't lay as flush with the ring. But I did notice it was really tight when I first got it. I might try for their warrantee because they do claim the band will not stretch out. If they put an extra weaker magnet in the middle of the snap portion to hold it in place, this would've solved the stretch out issue.
Strange con, but I realized when I try to Qi charge it, the steel ring gets super hot. I don't like Qi charging so it's not an issue for me, but something to note. Also, the magnetic grip is REALLY hard to remove from the phone. Like so hard, I didn't realize it was removable and I ordered the replacement ring like an idiot, thinking the removability/steel ring was a feature sold separately. So it won't come off when you don't want it to, but it is a real pain when you want it to.
I have it attached to my daily case, so no fear in getting the ring off the phone. I had to remove the ring once and using a thin card makes it pretty easy. But floss is probably the best way. With it removed from the steel ring, I can use the phone as normal with other accessories. But yeah, the large steel ring on my leather and wood case is an eyesore. It is tough to use with other accessories the grip installed, given it makes the phone considerably thicker, but I have a mount like Val's in my car and just need to secure it a little better to make sure it stays.
It's a win for me in my world, but I can see it's not for everyone. I was looking for an upgrade from the phone ring I had on my last phone and this definitely fit the bill while allowing for the wireless features of my iPhone 12 Pro. Haven't seen anything that would fit my needs better.
I agree. I was a die hard Loopy case person and decided to try the Oh Snap and it solved a lot of the issues I had with the Loopy but did sacrifice some comfort, but honestly, I don’t need to hold my phone for long periods of time so it works for me.
I’m also a fan of the product, bought it off Kickstarter and I love it. I also use the Oh Snap car vent mount combined with the wireless charger that’s shown in the video. Works out to be the best magnetic vent mount I’ve ever tried and I’ve tried a lot. And that combination allows you to turn the phone easily if that’s your thing, unlike that pointless, silly metal plate that’s also shown in the video.
Ohsnap 2.0 the kickstand has magnets so it goes flush and stays.
@@darkmatter1152 yup, mine just came in. Still have to install but looks like a big improvement
@@batvon39 my 2.0 band broke today lol. My 1.0 even though was stretched, never broke. Getting a free replacement soon hopefully.
Can you guys do a video on some z flip 3 accessories?
Could you do a review of the new oh snap 2.0? Is the new one better? Is it stronger?
i can always trust the honest reviews from this channel i bought this grip months ago and had it replaced for free and if i stick it vertically to a fridge or big solid object it pulls the grip and ring off my phone everytime
The MOFT review brought me to your channel and I’m glad I didn’t buy one. I wish I would have found you before I bought my OhSnap.
Can you link your other channels?
I was curious, what do you guys use on your phone? For case + holding support. Also, love the Canadian accent :)
HandL is a similar product but looks like it must be more comfortable bc it lets you got two fingers around the rubber like a pop soc. Plus they come in lots of prints and colors AND have a functional portrait mode. But they are a lil clunky
Thanks for saving me the headache
awesome! I live in Calgary, need a truck to film the best car holder? I can't decide what would work for me . Also, the horizontal problem while driving to Regina 9hrs drives me crazy.
I've had the ohsnap for almost 2 years now and never had any finger pain or numbness. And if you don't want something stuck to your phone, use a case
Can you please review the PopGrip Slide Stretch?
I’m using that one,love it
always love y’all videos :)
could you review moft’s new stand & grip as well? 🤔
Can you guys review the sleek strip next?
My current favourite is the Pop Socket Popgrip slide blue and a Captain America shield as the pop socket and blue Apple silicone case.
On and off easy and slide down the charge wirelessly.
I love mine! It’s the best holder in my opinion. Plus if it breaks they send you a free one every time you need it. Their other stuff they sell absolutely suck but the grip is awesome! Good review guys🙌🏻
You guys are awesome! Love your videos and you guys crack me up every time. I might be having the crappiest day and once I watch one of your videos I get my groove back!
Great idea to use dental floss. I would have used a blow dryer to warm it up just like you do when de-badging a car.
If you use a blow dryer you will melt the water proofing glue on the edges of your phone too
Can y'all review for the 2.0? PLEASE
Waiting for the ohsnap 3 pro review. :)
Thanks for the review. Saw this on ig, thought it was a good concept, but it didn't show how the phone was actually held on your finger, (the elastic band), which was kinda sus. After seeing this, it confirms I'm not going to spend no $30 on this junk lol.
Is there another grip that also has magnets?
Would love to see a review on the Grip 2.0
Have you reviewed the new version of the ohsnap?
You have to try the new 2.0 version. It’s what the original version SHOULD have been. So much better and actually MagSafe compatible.
i love my oh snap and am excited for the 2.0 next month
Why the need for the steel ring (for iPhones) since they’ve already been made to be magnetically compatible yeah? Why don’t they make the mount work with MagSafe and then thin the part that cinches your finger to add some cork or a durable soft rubber for better feel
What was that pop socket?
They've released a 2.0 version which looks very promising. Could you review that as well?
Thought about getting this because its so flat, but now I'm thinking to get the new anker maggo holder (magnetic) instead.
Will the ohsnap ring work on a magbak case?
Would love to see your review on the new Snap 3 Pro from OhSnap when it comes out as it basically eliminates every con you mentioned in this video
I do agree with your cons, but you really exaggerated how bad they were. I don’t know many people that use their iPhone bare, so you would install this on a case more often than not which takes away the con of it being like a bad tattoo.
The finger pinching I like for 2 reasons, I know my phone is securely on my finger and won’t go anywhere, and if I’ve been using my phone long enough that it hurts my finger then I know I need to stop using my phone.
Finally, being magnetic is a HUGE DEAL. You totally downplayed how big of a deal that is and from the other grips you mentioned it’s the only one that is magnetic. Being able to stick this on a fridge or gym equipment or anywhere I put the sticky magnetic plates is a complete game changer and the number one reason I like ohsnap so much more than other grips. Also, it slides into pockets so much better than any other grip I’ve seen and it’s still just there when you need it.
It does suck that they don’t have a better way to help you centre the ring on the phone though, but that’s solved with the Snap 3 Pro.
Also, I do not work for OhSnap, I was a Kickstarter backer with the original and then got the grip when it came out too.
The biggest turn-off for me is them not making a MagSafe version. I get that they want it to be used with other phones as well, but why not take advantage of the MagSafe in the iPhone?
Love your reviews. Fun and informative!
THANK YOU FOR USING THE KNIFE - worked like a charm!!! I am OH snap free!!!!!!
They just dropped 2.0 version of everything. You should review that stuff it looks like the eliminated most of the problems
Wow! I loooove the OhSnap but you make good points.
Just trying to get a better understanding ; with the grip portion DETACHED, does the iPhone stick on the 3 in 1 Belkin charger?
As a technician, the engineer is usually worng ,but will allways insists he's right because he did the math and knows it will work, but hasn't actually touched a peice hardware in 15 years or had to assemble or test any of his hardware in the realworld. But it workd in the sim....
Mous 3.0 vs Mous 4.0 do a video on that get which one to get I want to protect my camera lens
i see ur using the rhino shield mod NX. would u recommend it cause its between that and the phone rebel case
I use it too and I love it, especially together with the MagSafe wallet since it can’t slide off anymore.
@@moclan582 ye that was my main consideration. cause with cases magsafe is usually really hindered
@@joeMAMAAA88 I would consider putting on a skin on the back though, to avoid scratching. You could also use a plastic „screen“ protector, preferably a matte one so you don’t see the fingerprints 😅
@@moclan582 ooo good tip will do :)
You guyz deserves a million subscribers the least for what you doing.
Where did you find that yellow bummer on your phone?
Monty looking at Val removing the phone skin: don’t break my inventory girl! 😆
Edit: would you guys be planning to review MagSafe car mounts?
I have one and I love it
Have you guys thought about trying out the ohsnap 2.0?
I have the ohsnap and 2 phones.It doesn't cut the circulation on my finger.im 6'4 230 lbs.I also put the ring on my case and not my actual phone.with the lifetime warrant you can get many of them.Many new rings too
hello just wondering if you can review tha nillkin phone case the one with cam cover I'm a avid fan of yours hope you notice my comment thank you
what about the magsafe version?
Feeding the algorithm gods 👍🏼
Have been using this for a year, and I like being able to use one finger and not drop it, and it does get a bit looser over time, and I kind of like twist easel feature portrait/landscape, but...it also twists subluxes my knuckle, and they sell a white nationalist all-black US flag design. When I messaged them about this, no response. So you have to wonder who's running the show over there, Dale Backus (the guy running the show over there).
I have a fantastic car mount solution with the ohsnap grip that isn’t their stupid vent one. It’s incredible and it charges.
Can you teach me how to train a dog like that he is so obedient and quite do a video on that, I still love the ones about the cases
I bought a loopy case two or so years ago based on your reviews. Money well spent. Thanks.
Hello dear.
You can also consider our new multifunctional phone grip & stand at a very cheap price.
As far as the car mount goes, I can't see how you have such a problem with it, it's pretty easy to turn... when it's properly secured in the vent.
That's because they both were intent on making up stuff to support their OBVIOUS goal to trash the product. It's just not a esthetically pleasing - really? And the pop socket is? Gimme a break. My finger gets sore - hmm, if you have you fingers in any device for extended periods of time, it will get sore and you need to get a real life outside of your stupid phone.
Watching y’all’s videos is like watching a taboo relationship in the making.
The magnet seems nice if you use it with MagSafe products
Finally , you got rid of it.
Congrats
*In short:* I'm an s21 ultra user who liked magsafe related accessories and fortunately/unfortunately ended up with the oh snap and came out feeling like I got the most value out of the metal ring n a build design it had rather than the product itself 😅
*(Read the bottom if u want to 😆)*
I'm an s21 ultra user that bought this product to b able to do those magsafe stuff and I've had it for about 5 months. From my experience, the whole 20 sec or 24hrs wait for the metal ring to stick varies depending on the case (I had the spigen s pen case n Torras(?) Black clear case n it only took about 20-30min for it to stick with spigen but needed a whole day for the torras). I do agree that it is like a bad tattoo, but for me, it's a bad tattoo that's better than having to use those DIY magsafe magnet rings especially since having magnets in the back of the s21 ultra fucks up the s-pen functionality... which leads me to another upside about the oh snap is that for some reason, the magnets on the oh snap doesn't seem to affect the s-pen functionality! I tried a copy-cat moft wallet (which claimed to hav stronger magnets than moft n I had the flashback of watching this channel review the moft wallet so I looked at other alternatives to moft wallet) n a magsafe plate (used to attach adhesive popsocket on it before popsocket came out with their own magsafe popsocket), but both of the magnets just distorts the s-pen when writing. Another thing that I did appreciate from Oh Snap other than the s-pen thing n from what u guys had listed in pros section was not the product itself but the build design it had that prevented it from sliding off the metal ring. My s21 ultra with a case was quite heavy and none of the magsafe diy rings or the metal rings could solve the issue of my s21 just sliding off. One of the accessories had rubber layer to add more grip to the device but i wasn't quite sure where I could get a rubber ring of the size I needed n was worried that the extra rubber layer might impede the magnets pull on the metal ring. Then I compared the products to oh snap n saw that the reason y they weren't sliding was bc there was a circle indent/bezel under the oh snap with a diameter that was the same size as the hole of the metal rings. From then on, I've basically just make circle cutouts n stuck them on any of my magsafe products just so that they can "snap" onto the metal ring which also added more grip so they don't loosely rotate for no reason (as I was dealing w/ magnets to metal rather than magnets to magnets and I don't have that magsafe "magnet tail")
Good review! Now, please get a million grips from Amazon and review them, please lol
This video convinced me to get an OhSnap and car charger
Should have applied heat to soften the adhesive
Dental floss .... brilliant! Hi Monty - whosagoodboy
You guys should review the new ohsnap
Finally she showed her face!😄😄😄
They did too many of those PSP 1000 UMD door replacement aluminum rings, oh well, finally a OG PSP stand without the need of buying other attachments.
In the car community, we use fishing line to remove unwanted car dealership logos or trim pieces. That and a heat gun.
They have the 2.0 version out. Will you be reviewing it?
it's not out yet
Liked and commented to boost the algorithm :)
I have tried and tried to find your cocktail channel, with no luck. Can you send a link?
th-cam.com/channels/caX4ACA0_kNci3ovJB6s-A.html
I had mine for over a year, lost the top part of it, or I thought I did. So, I removed the ring to put something else on, only to find the top again about a month later 🙃 😐 🙄. I personally loved using it but was a pain in the ass in the car as they claimed. I always used two fingers instead of one; it was never comfortable with one. Waiting for my 2.0 version to ship.
