Sean Hollister reviewed the OhSnap Snap Grip Stand, a magnetic phone accessory priced at $50. The review follows his previous experience with other magnetic grips, including the Snap Grip 5 and a Syncwire product. He began testing the Snap Grip Stand several months before publishing his assessment. The device measures 3.7 mm in thickness and includes a double‑sided magnetic ring that attaches to MagSafe‑compatible phones and can also adhere to metal surfaces such as refrigerators. The magnetic ring allows wireless charging while the grip provides a flexible joint that can be positioned between two fingers or through a single finger for a secure hold. The stand feature consists of a fold‑out ring on a hinged arm that deploys vertically without removing the grip, enabling rapid placement on a surface. Unlike some competing stands, the OhSnap design does not require a separate locking mechanism; the phone can be placed directly onto the stand after the arm is extended. The product is comparable in function to the $17 Gornergrat Grat 5, which also includes a fold‑out stand, though reviewers have noted that its elastic strap feels less secure. Hollister observed that the OhSnap stand incorporates an additional vertical magnet aligned with Apple’s MagSafe pattern and a clear plastic surface to improve friction. The aluminum construction lacks coatings that peeled on earlier models, presenting a bare anodized finish. Potential improvements mentioned include a lower price, separate magnets on the stand’s ring to allow simultaneous magnetic attachment and stand use, and a more convenient one‑handed grip release. Price information indicates the reviewer purchased the unit at $40 after tax at Best Buy. The review concludes without a definitive recommendation, noting that the stand’s utility may vary based on user preferences and budget considerations.
