Snap 3 Pro Is The Best Phone Grip Ever? OhSnap!

- Been seeing a ton of Snap 3 ads on my socials so I figure it was time to do a real review. Is is the best grip ever? It's the best grip...
That ohsnap has made so far. Huge upgrade over Snap 2 and mildly better than Snap 1.
Here's what I think are the best phone grips: • I Tested 20 iPhone 13 ...
Ohsnap 2 Review: • The Ultimate OhSnap Gr...
Best iPhone Accessories: • I've Spent $17,000 On ...
As I'm editing this video, I realized I called the Snap 3, more times than not, the OhSnap 3 Point O. Funny how my brain is wired sometimes...
Reason #1 - Semi-Permanent Grip
Before MagSafe, sticking something to my iPhone was bearable. After the introduction of MagSafe, sticking something that's semi-permanent is annoying.
Especially if you have other MagSafe accessories that you use. My biggest issue is that accessories will rotate on the Snap 3 Pro as the grip prevents the accessories form using the lower magnet's on the MagSafe array.
Wouldn't have been a big deal if other grips did this but the best grips in my collection don't have this issue.
Reason #2 - It's too thin
The actual grip portion sits flush against the base which minimizes the bulk. Smart.
What's not smart is how thin the actual grip portion is. With normal grips, you pull the grip out. With the Snap 3 Pro, you pry.
With a fingernail. Nothing says "this accessory is awesome" like having your fingernail split from your finger and having to deal with that issue for a few days at a time.
Reason #3 - MagSafe charging doesn't really work
Using an actual MagSafe charger with the Snap 3 doesn't result in 15W charging speeds. It only does 7.5W.
Which sucks. In my 15 min charge tests, the Snap 3 Pro on a bare iPhone was 30% slower in terms of charging. On my iPhone 14 Pro Max with a thin clear case and the Snap 3 Pro, it was 85% slower.
WTF?
At the end of the day, having a thin, annoying grip doesn't outweigh the benefits that I lose with my MagSafe accessories.

Thank you for saving me $30.
I wish I’d seen this in time
I just subscribed. I love your honesty and the fact you don't do sponsors!
That part at the very end where the dog was looking crazy with you was hilarious 😂
I just got the O snap pro 3 and it’s been great so far! I have not lost any of my MagSafe capabilities at all.
So far I’ve charged my iPhone 13 Pro Max without any degradation in charging speeds. My MagSafe battery still work and my apple wallet still sticks if I need it.
The point you make about it being difficult to pry up is over dramatic. I can easily lift it with the corner of my nail.
I loved mine but today the little center piece that holds it down snapped off. So it won’t close now 😢. I don’t want to
Spend another $30 for something that only lasted me a couple of months.
@@jtodd0221I had the same problem. After a couple months my center locking piece broke and a few days later the adhesive that holds the folding plastic "legs" to the circular plastic that pops out failed too.
@@sidcd I filed a warranty claim and they sent me a new one.
This editing/direction of this video is glorious. No phone holder has ever been so artfully presented! Nice work. (and I'll stick to my pop socket for now)
:)
I think it depends on what you're looking for. As a Rhinoshield bumper case user, back when I used the Popsocket grip, I often found myself catching it on my pants putting my phone in my pocket. This grip sits fully beneath the ridge around the Rhinoshield on the back of the phone, so that issue is gone. For my use case, I have not had charging issues with the ohsnap applied. I MOSTLY charge only at night, so if it takes a bit longer, no big deal. Also, you don't HAVE to remove this to apply other magsafe devices (such as the battery). The magnets on this are much stronger than base magsafe, so the ring magnets are actually so strong that you really have to try to rotate a battery off-axis. Finally, I will say that pulling the center portion out to use it does require fingernails. However, as the ohsnap was used more and more, that connection loosened. I have only ever ACTUALLY needed to take this off my phone twice, and both of those times it was to show people how it works. I like that it has the adhesive so it doesn't come off with the accessory when disconnecting. In my experience the adhesive does not come off or gall up because you only need to insert a card gently underneath it to break the seal. And, the adhesive is washable. Not sure what you experienced with that is typical.
Are you able to pull the centerpiece out one handed?
The last part of this video where the ohsnap comes off bc of the magnet, have you found that to be an issue? Annoyance? Not common in your experience?
Thanks for sharing your experience; I enjoyed their v2 but hesitant on this version
@@QueenOfRice Yes, I had to do it two-handed initially, but subconsciously learned to do it with one hand over time. I have car and work mounts I use daily, as well as charge on a MagSafe dock every night. It has never come off. I have mine mounted directly to the back of the phone (I have a bumper case), and recently applied a skin to the back of the phone and am now mounted to that with no issue.
@Andy Bonner Thank you so much! I think I'll pick one up myself, glad to know I'll eventually get used to using it one handed.
@@QueenOfRice Following up. Did you get one?
Appreciate the reviews, its a hard pass on the O Snap, they have to think a lot of people aren’t going to give up MagSafe functionality
Totally.
Thank you for your great reviews, could you please review the new Love Handle pro grip for MagSafe, I won't buy anything until I check in with you.
Been seeing many ads lately too, thanks for this video! Gonna be looking elsewhere.
Great review, thanks. Been thinking about the ohsnap 3 pro vs adding the ESR HaloLock to my Android and using the Popsocket Magsafe with that. I'm still a little wary of using a magnet to hold up my phone...
The magnet on the phone is no problem at all. The main problem is it’s flimsy flap. The adhesive that held it together eventually came off so I wasn’t able to use the kickstand. Next the center of the flap started to cave in because of the constant opening and closer.
I love the Snap 3 Pro grip, and agree with other commenters that it depends on what you are looking for, and how you use (or don’t use) other magsafe accessories. I don’t use magsafe charging or other magsafe accessories, so that is a non-issue for me. I want a grip that is thin enough to not snag on my back pocket, won’t take up extra space in my tiny purse, works as a landscape stand and won’t come off when I’m actually using it as a grip. This checks all the boxes, and I would definitely replace it with another Snap 3 Pro if something ever happened to it. I don’t mind the living hinge, and haven’t had any issues with it in 4 months of use. I also use a Rhinosheild case. If I ever really wanted to use magsafe, I would probably switch to the Rhinoshield grip, but I’m super happy for now. Love your reviews! I always find information that helps me make purchasing decisions, and I appreciate all of the work you put into them. Edit: I forgot another important point for me…my clamping car mounts work so much better with this thin grip. My old PopSocket was way too thick, and one of my clamping mounts would barely hold on to the sides of my phone.
Great review. I've heard they don't last long. Is this one more durable? Do you plan on reviewing their new titanium one? I like the form factor but I'm concerned it won't last
My ohsnap 1.0 just broke after like 3 years and this does not look promising. Thanks for this.
The magnet on this thing really impressed me. Really compliments my other MagSafe accessories (chargers) and works great with my d brand phone case. Not sure what this dudes on about
Thank you so much for this review. I almost bought one of these.
Appreciate the honesty
I have to agree I liked thr 1.0 & 2.0 just for the fidget factor 😊. Unfortunately, the elastic does not last. Just purchased Encased Magnetic Phone Kickstand Grip. I’d like to see ya do a video on it . Not much of a description on their web page . Took a shot for $12.00 . U.S.D.. not magnetic 🧲 won’t stick to metal surfaces.
Hello! Just wondering if there is a magnetic mount that will magnetically stick to your phone but that I can also use to magnetically stick to the fridge.
What do you recommend?
Would you review brands with cute cases to see if of them which is the best while still looking good? Like Flaunt, Velvet Caviar, and Burga?
fantastic review
Just wondering how the Oh Snap 3 works over the Apple silicone case? Can my Magsafe wallet sticks onto the Oh Snap 3 nicely?
What would be the bes way to add magsafe to an android phone ? With case ?
I like mine. I use mag safe wallet with it too and it works well. Does everything I need to do ❤
Great review!! Exactly what I was looking for lol yes! I can keep my cute pop sockets lol
How about the Tango grip? I keep seeing ads for it and it’s another thin grip.
Great review!!!
Thanks!
This is why I love my Rockform cases. Sticks to metal, and since I work in an industrial environment. It works great
I’ll be waiting for your review on the oh snap 4 luxe before committing 😊
@MobileReviewsEh How did you measure the charging capacity? Which app are you using? Thanks :)
Can you do a review on the EWA The New MagOne (Upgrade) phone grip please. We’d appreciate it.
Everyone mentions the stress marks but they claim to have stress tested it to over a million flexes, and I am tempted to believe them since there are plastics on the market that do last basically forever and will sooner stretch than snap.
For someone. Who moved from pop socket to oh snap and hasn’t had any issues with the v1 or v2. But I’m looking to upgrade to something new. Anything to recommend if I was a fan of the oh snap v2?
Can you review the Snap 4 Luxe? Can’t decide if it’s worth it or not. Unless you’ve already reviewed it. But I can’t seem to find that review anywhere
I actually REALLY like it as a grip - it's comfortable and works great as a stand. I love that it's so thin. My only gripe is yeah, it doesn't work with wireless charging on most cases. I had to buy a new case in order to have it work. If anyone else is thinking of getting this because you like the idea of a grip that works as a vertical stand (that was my biggest selling point), it works with a Caudabe Synthesis case (not the Sheath) with the Belkin 3-in-1 wireless charger. But, I like the Snap 3 Pro enough that I was willing to buy a new case, and that's saying something.
Thanks for the comment.
I like my OhSnap a bunch as well. I don't use a case on my iPhone 14 Pro & have few issues with the grip (& would buy it again). It is such a great looking phone why cover it with a case?
@@MobileReviewsEh hey bro did I win a giveaway?
Anyone try this on a s23 ultra without the adhesive? I have the Mous Evolution case and want to be able to use the other accessories
Oh snap 2 was my favorite but I never used it as a grip. I used it as a kickstand and use the kickstand mode as the grip just to prop up the phone. I never stretch the elastic. The magnets always snapped the elastic back when I wasn't using it as a kickstand. The V3 basically made it useless as a kickstand.
Lol this is like one of those infomercials from the 90s. "have you ever flipped an egg, AND THIS HAPPENS!?"
I REALLY liked the oh snap 3 grip, but the adhesive fell off and I couldn’t charge my phone with the ohsnap on top of my phone case, even though they claim you can charge it even with a case on.
Have you tried the kick pop by chubby cable?
Hey, why did you stop reviewing lunatik brand cases? Also we need a rugged case category (normal rugged and extreme rugged, imho)!
Please do a review on the andobil MagSafe grip. Double sided magnetic goodness. Especially useful for gym goers who mount their phone to equipment during reps
I will check it out.
Poor Monty. His look in the „WHY“ parts… 😭😅
THANK YOU for your review. I was basically sold but decided to look at a few reviews first. Honestly, it seems like a shitty pop socket knock off.
I will never use adhesive. Not because I think it’ll cause harm, but because I want to be able to take it off and put it on. The MagSafe pop socket, which is what I have now, can do that and I’ve never had an issue with it coming off without me actually pulling it off.
Have you tried the MoMostick wallet?
I love mine. I use my phone without a case and it’s awesome to be able to have MagSafe charging and not have remove grip every time. Mine have been very durable. The only issue I have with it is, occasionally when I take my phone off my MagSafe car mount that has very strong magnets, it will stay magnetized to the car mount. Pretty annoying, but not the end of the world.
Thanks! Your awesome 👏!
:)
I don't have any issue opening the grip or with wireless charging (which I don't care about anyways).
I'm just happy to finally have a grip that isn't bulky, doesn't make my phone all wobbly on a table and doesn't get caught on my pants when trying to get in and out of my pocket.
version 1 was the best version! I just wish I could still find the metal rings.
Great review - I almost bought it, so glad I didn’t !
Holy crap, this is the only video I've encountered where I've had to slow down the audio.
If anyone wants to know which case works with wireless charging, I use the otterbox defender xt case for my 13 pro with the grip and I haven’t had a problem with it.
Yup same here. Works fine. Slower charging is better for battery longevity anyways. And I only charge over night so I don’t need a quick charge like ever
I still love my popsocket. It doesn’t take even 1 second to take of the magnetic pop socket lol. It’ll be good if it’s not adhesive like pop socket magnet
Can you review the Tango Grip? Keep seeing IG ads of it, and it’s got me intrigued. Wasted money on this oh snap grip, definitely don’t wanna do that again 😅
Tango grip is copied metisinno magnetic base for MagSafe
I had the Tango grip and I really liked it, but it eventually stopped connecting magnetically to it's base and would just stick out ask the time. I did get it replaced once and it happened again. When it worked, it was great. It was a thin grip that slid in and it is the pocket easily. It was pretty easy to pop open and was comfortable to hold the phone. I also had the snap pro 1 and snap pro 2. Those were both also good, but both also ended up having the elastic break on me. I did like how those types of brands were slimmer than a pop socket. Pop Sockets seen to be more durable in general, at least for me.
Can you give pls test the oh snap 4 luxe 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mine wont stick at all with brand new adhesive.
Please review their new Snap 4 - have they made it worth buying yet?
Huh, this made me realize the cheap grip I bought at 5 below was a knockoff of the 2.0 one. It broke after a month.
I'm going back to a clckr, it was my favorite. Lasted me months.
I ended up purchasing a two pack of the OhSnap 3.0 MagSafe grip and overall I'm pretty dissatisfied, however it does have some redeeming qualities.
Pros: It's thin and works as an alternative to the larger and bulkier pop sockets.
Cons: The magnet is NOT strong enough to hold up the IPhone 15 Pro Max in part because the camera sticks out further then the mount does, even when it's flush with a metal surface the slightest disturbance will send it sliding down the metal object. The adhesive is so poor that even when following the instructions perfectly the adhesive mount has popped off my phone on not just one of the SnapPro 3s that I purchased but BOTH and now I can't use either, this problem is so bad that they even sell additional adhesives LINK. Without nails it's very difficult to open the grip so it's useable.
I really like the Pop-Socket & was hoping to love this grip, but I really don't.
I'm a Samsung user and finally switched from pop socket to an oh snap 3 for the magsafe features. For the magsafe capabilities it works fine with a spigen case. No problems at all but I will say the pop socket feels better when holding the phone and the stand feature of the oh snap sucks. But I'm stuck with it since a pop socket can't work as a mag safe.
I would like you to review the Oh Snap 4
Bought this and immediately switched to the Tango grip. 100% improvement.
Was going to try it. But I have no nails and can’t imagine how I would
Get it in my hand!
What clear case was he using in this video?
A Uolo clear case.
Have you tried the Tango 2.0 Grip yet?
Owned both the v1 and ohsnap3. It’s probably the most comfiest ohsnap grip. The problem is that it is so THIN, the durability tanked because of it. The hinges so far haven’t showed signs of degradation. The flap is literally held by adhesive and unfortunately lost some of its stick, I cannot use the kickstand because of that. Also the center of the flap is caving because of opening and closing it
Your THE BEST !!!!
The 3 Pro is such a scam, the hinges on mine crumbled after literally a month
Last Segment when another MagSafe-Accessory Pulled off O-Snap is the best thing that happened!
Good video and evaluation for everyone including maybe the manufacturer for future improvements !!!
:)
I like to use it at the gym and tbh hate when the popsocket gets snagged in my pockets
That would get annoying.
50$ piece of plastic is insane. thanks for the review
Totally bought one and then watched this video and wanted to cry. Thought this was completely MagSafe and didn’t need adhesive to stick. Super disappointing. Wish I could cancel me order now 😢
Did you use it? What were your thoughts?
@@mrmax86 I did and actually really like it surprisingly!
I got this and i found the grip to be very easy to use in my experience. I don't use magsafe charging though
This felt personal
I used it on my magsafe iphone case, and the phone would not charge. It should be ok if you stick it to the phone itself.
Mine did not last more than a year!
I’ll give that a miss and still use the pop socket MagSafe grip
I'd stick to that.
👍👍👍👍

@@chadh6855proof?
The fact that this has “pro” in the name further proves that all the nomenclature “pro” stands for is an increased price point.
Thanks for keeping it real as always!
Lol. Yep.
Really wish I'd watched this BEFORE spending $40 on the grip...and then like $50 more in accessories for free shipping. Lesson learned.
Me seeing this aaafftteerrr buying a mag safe and putting it on my phone….
I still use an original oh snap deff the best one
Hmm, surprised to hear that this 3.0 has the strongest magnet out of the 3. Altho I don't hav the 3.0 to compare, I felt that the 1.0 had the stronger magnet than the 2.0 bc my s21 ultra didn't slip off the fridge when I hung it w/ the 1.0 (my phone just slowly went down the fridge w/ the 2.0). I'll hav to check this 3.0 out now
Can you do further research into car mounts. Like the best setup. I don’t understand why people want you to buy their crappy off brand products that aren’t the MagSafe wireless charger. I have been thinking of a way to mount a MagSafe wireless battery bank to my car preferably with window mount then mount my phone that way. Unfortunately there are no products for the wireless battery bank to be mounted. It would be cool to charge it at home then have a wireless setup in the car.
I'm not sure those exist.
Thanks for saving me $30. Doesn’t seem like it’ll work in the ways I need it too
It doesn't really hold my Samsung 23 ultra.... I was so excited to use it after watching the ads but the adhesive doesn't even stick and the magnet isn't strong enough. Quite disappointing to be honest. Just great marketing. Not so much a great product
Amazing that you never seemed to mention android phones.
It's ignoring the biggest market. You realize that, right?
They need to bring back the 1.0 and stop worrying about MagSafe. Not everyone uses it.
I have big hands I don t know what is the best solution for me because my fingers don t fit in the usual popsockets.I m just 6.2 tall but these things these things look like they are made just for chinese people women or children..
Maybe try one of the Rhinoshield ones. They seem to be better for larger hands
@@StokesIsStoked 👍 🙏
Ooof the plastic looks like it’ll break easiy
I hate it. I did not back the company for them to just completely change their product.
the permanence is a dealbreaker
Right?
Why? It's not actually permanent, you can take it off whenever...It's actually a pretty light adhesive.
That dog thinking why in the hell am I doing here😂😂😂
Pitaka mag ez grip FTW
Thanks for this. The ad made it look great. Hard pass.
I always knew ohsnap was a crap product. Should’ve named it ohcrap instead
I learned one thing from this video as a leather phone case maker - don't make the case too thick, otherwise wireless charging will suffer!
Yep.
What happened to Val? The reviews were better with two opinions.
They had a breakup. She was a hot friend from crossfit class he got to help with videos even though he's married with a kid. Things got strange when he rented a separate house away from the wife so he could do late night videos alone with Val and get her drunk. She moved to Ecuador with her kids and sings in a band now.
