I’ve discovered a magnetic phone grip that’s become my must-have accessory.

I promised myself I wouldn’t invest in an OhSnap accessory for my phone. While I found each one I tried to be decent, they always felt a bit overpriced and had minor flaws. After reviewing the $40 Snap Grip 5 last year, I opted to stick with my $25 Syncwire instead. However, the $50 Snap Grip Stand finally won me over. The idea of having a practical vertical stand and grip attached to my phone at all times? Absolutely.

I began testing the Snap Grip Stand months ago and quickly realized I never wanted to take it off. So, I ended up purchasing one for myself.

It’s sleek at just 3.7mm thick, making it easy to slide into my pocket without creating an awkward bulge. It features a double-sided magnetic ring, similar to the previous version, allowing it to attach not only to your magnet-compatible phone but also to surfaces like fridges, gym equipment, or garage cabinets. Plus, it even allows for some wireless charging.

The magnets securely hold my phone, and the grip is one of the most adaptable I’ve encountered. The innovative interlocking joints can fit between two fingers like a PopSocket or allow you to insert a finger through them for a more secure hold. The entire disc rotates freely (though it does make a slight scraping noise) to adjust to any angle you prefer.

What sets the Stand apart from its predecessor is its unique design. The magnet ring is now surrounded by a thinner fold-out ring on a hinged arm. Just pull it down, and it effortlessly supports my phone in a vertical position. Many competing stands struggle to hold a phone upright, and they certainly don’t deploy as quickly. With this design, there’s no need to detach the stand or lock a tab in place like with earlier OhSnap grips—just pull it out, set your phone down, and you’re good to go.

While there are other stands with similar designs, like the $17 Gornergrat Grat 5, I found its elastic strap to be loose and less secure for my fingers.

OhSnap cleverly utilizes the extra vertical arm space to prevent unwanted rotation. It includes an additional vertical magnet that aligns with Apple’s MagSafe pattern, along with a grippy clear plastic material for added friction.

I’m pleased to report that the aluminum construction doesn’t have any undesirable coatings. I wasn’t a fan of the adhesive on the Snap Grip 4 or the soft-touch coating that started peeling on the Snap Grip 5. This one appears to be bare anodized metal, which looks and feels fantastic.

Currently, I can think of three improvements: a lower price, magnets in the stand’s ring (instead of just the main ring) to allow simultaneous use of the magnets and the stand, and perhaps a more convenient way to open the grip with one hand.

I appreciate how Tango’s spring-loaded grip pops open with a press, but I found the spring mechanism uncomfortable, as it pushes my fingers apart too much. As for the price, at least OhSnap’s products often go on sale. I snagged mine for $40 after tax.
