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 Phone Grips  W...

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 SemiPermanent Grip
Before MagSafe, sticking something to my iPhone was bearable. After the introduction of MagSafe, sticking something that's semipermanent 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.
