Can you review the newest ohsnap 4's please and thanks! Congrats on your first video! It was informative thank you. Keep up the great work!

[@tylorban]

Great review thanks! Looking at the Snap 4 Luxe but not any reviews really

[@ryanw8664]

Fantastic review! You really provided a comprehensive overview of pros, cons and use-cases. Well done.

[@fisher.digital]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@davidoutside]

I was this videos 100th like! Thanks for the review man, doesn’t sound like this grip is for me. Gonna stick with the $10 adhesive pop socket for now even though it’s fat af. Cheers brotherrrr

[@fisher.digital]

Thanks for the like!

[@khaair]

I'm looking forward to the next video. It's a good review.

[@fisher.digital]

Thanks!

[@heatherfreeman2452]

Great video!! Can you confirm which wireless charger you used?

[@jettehh22]

Thank you! I had already ordered mine but I was really dreading using the adhesive and knowing that it can work with a strong magnetic case made me so happy. Good informational video!

[@fisher.digital]

I’d still probably recommend using the adhesive if you ever use MagSafe for anything else, just because it got annoying to have to pry the grip off whatever it stuck to and put it back on the phone. But yes, you do still have the option to do that 😂 honestly I haven’t regretted sticking it to my case

[@MOONFACEFLOW]

Do u have to have a mag safe phone case for this to work and magnetize to your phone and also does it magnetize to surfaces?

[@Mangolite]

The “snap” is on the name, lol! I am still interested in this product, and since it is still aligned to the magnet in the iPhone despite it being made to glue to the phone or a case, I was wondering about sticking it on a grippy thin felt or material therefore, you can still reuse on other phones and cases without it being a permanent adherent. I like that it can be a kick-stand and also sticks to steel and metal surfaces where hands-free is needed. BTW, very good job on your first video. Keep it up.

[@fisher.digital]

Hah good point on the snap I used it for a month before removing the sticker paper, and it worked well enough to hold my phone wherever I mounted it. The problem comes when removing the phone from the mount/surface, the OhSnap will stick to the surface rather than remain on the phone. And thanks for the encouragement! I hope to make many more

[@ComboKingMC]

Good review. What is the phone case you are using in this?

[@Nctrnlhyp]

I like your case color combination and the phone grip so slick. What is your phone case?

[@PotatoeTom]

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

[@NIC0LAS1251]

I’m really tempted to get one soon it’s just the fear of it breaking because of the cheapish material, but from what I heard most people say it’s lasted a while for them.

[@fisher.digital]

I'm going on over a month now of heavy use and it has held up great

[@NIC0LAS1251]

@@fisher.digital okay cool 👌 sounds promising then🙏

[@MindfulProgramming]

@@NIC0LAS1251 mine just wore out, doesn't click into the stowed position anymore. just contacted them for a replacement (update: they gave me a free replacement. the retainer bracket(?) had snapped, will be more careful this time lol.)

[@kigoff6825]

Thank you! That was a very useful video.

[@Antronix3]

Never thought an urban slang phrase from the 80s 'oh snap!' would become a name brand lol

[@box4aza]

Thanks!

[@anthonycristiano]

I loved their Luxe branded ones. Just wish they’d lose the adhesive. Glad to know this one uses adhesive too. :(

[@fisher.digital]

Yeah it would be nice without the adhesive. I can say now that I don’t regret sticking it to my phone case. It has been nice to have

[@psalomon845]

What phone case are you using?

[@fisher.digital]

It’s just one I found on Amazon. The store name is ESR. “ESR Classic Hybrid Magnetic Case with HaloLock…”

[@daveraysberg7478]

Great review! How has your oh snap held up over the last 8 months??

[@fisher.digital]

I’ve been thinking about making a follow up video to answer this exact question. In short, mine has held up just fine, but my wife’s ended up breaking within a month or two. I am pretty sure we could have gotten it replaced (probably still could) but I haven’t taken the time to contact them about it.

[@zmoclov21]

What part is magnetic? the outside ring or the center disc?

[@fisher.digital]

The outside ring is the magnetic part, which makes it compatible with MagSafe

[@Keen_Edge]

Have the hinges looked like they're getting more and more worn since you make the video?

[@fisher.digital]

Hinges are still going strong. It’s been about 2 months now of fairly heavy use and they look and feel the same.

[@benallyjaredful]

After 6 months of family use the thin plastic base began to bow out and the center started to crack. OhSnap replaced free under warranty.

[@NotTacoBandit]

Great review man definitely earned a sub👍🏽

[@GeorgeMui]

Hey man i was think of getting this to use with the Moft Phone wallet stand however, i'm worried that the tail end that will be sticking up like you've shown at 1:37 will slide easily side to side. With a wallet attached, do you find that it can/will spin around easily, if that makes sense?

[@fisher.digital]

Only the circle part in the middle spins, and the magnet outer ring part is stationary. For the wallet that I have it has a decent amount of friction to prevent it from rotating

[@GeorgeMui]

@@fisher.digital yeah I know, I was more concern that a wallet will spin/slide around on the stationary magnetic outside ring due to the lack of friction from the back end not being able to touch the phone. Do you think that will be the case, or is the front half touching enough friction on its own to prevent spinning/sliding?

[@fisher.digital]

No I don’t think it would slide around. Friction should be good enough, especially if the wallet has good magnets too.

[@teresabrunk7880]

I love mine...

[@CaseyHardman]

0:58 That's what I needed to see. Not sure why they couldn't make it MagSafe both ways (unless I'm just not comprehending how magnets work lol) So yeah, pass for me!

[@fisher.digital]

I went about a month of using it before I peeled the sticker. So technically you can use it without the sticker as long as you have a MagSafe phone case, because the magnets alone don’t grip the bare iPhone very well. The downside to that is since the magnets in the OhSnap grip are so strong, it will come off and stick to whatever you mounted it to (see 3:05).

[@mtalio2858]

Without the sticker, mints and accessories pull the grip off the phone. The adhesive is solid and reusable. I found with MagSafe only accessories, lateral pressure resulted in the accessory falling off the phone. With the adhesive, it is a very good and solid connection. Not a big deal in my opinion. The promise is to be able to use MagSafe without removing the grip. It’s almost the only grip that allows for that. I’ve had mine for several months. Love mine.

[@defu8592]

nice video friend! keep it up!

[@fisher.digital]

Thanks!

[@Keen_Edge]

Ben... this is going to sound crazy, but we went to college together in Idaho (I'll refrain from the soecific school) and I just stumbled on this video of yours 😄 You were roommates with Sam, right? Great video by the way!

[@fisher.digital]

Yeah I totally remember you! You’re a good dude. How crazy is that

[@user-fi6hg8vq6c]

Great review especially for your first one. Maybe in future videos add some motion graphics to call call out the the bullet point pros and cons. I use a similar product by andobil which I love. I stick my phone to gym equipment whenever I workout and stick it to the fridge when I’m cooking. It has near identical functionality as the snap pro except you have to remove it to use wireless charging. That is the main reason the snap pro is still calling my name. How grippy is the texture on the snap pro? Is it slippery plastic?

[@fisher.digital]

Great suggestion! Thank you, I appreciate it. It is a hard plastic which isn’t be very grippy by itself, but the magnets in it are quite strong. The only surface that it has slid down because of the lack of grip from the material is on the side of my tub, which I found out after making this video. I think it’s because the coating on the tub is thick and smooth, which makes it harder for the magnets to grip. But direct contact to magnetic surfaces like a fridge or gym equipment has worked no problem

[@monicae67]

No MagSafe?! You would think that almost every phone accessories manufacturer would be MagSafe compatible. Who wants to have a permanent accessory attached to their case with adhesive?! 🤦‍♀️ I actually thought they did away with attaching accessories with adhesive but I guess not! No thanks!

[@Goodenough-]

The grip will not work all cases, and in fact 90% of the cases you will try won't work. Gluck contacting the company to get a list of compatible cases, because they don't have one. They told me to just not use a case with their grip. Worthless and no way to return even though this is false advertising (since they say it works with cases). All I want is to know which cases work. Not even reddit can help here as every thread eventually concludes that all cases users have tried do not work.

[@fisher.digital]

Are you referring to wireless charging? I could see it being an issue for certain cases, especially thicker ones, and it makes it a little bit trickier if your case doesn't have magsafe to help align it correctly. I suspect that could also be a problem, where people may adhere it slightly misaligned causing it to not work. I can't speak for anyone else, but my experience has been a good one and wireless charging works perfectly fine even with a case.

[@user-fi6hg8vq6c]

Define “work”? Why wouldn’t it work with all MagSafe cases?

[@TheMooser]

That’s wildly inaccurate. Works with way more that’s 10% of cases. If you can stick adhesive to the case, you can more than likely stick the OhSnap on it

[@aelw918]

Works great with my Otterbox Symmetry Series! I love it!
