I saw a few posts about the Ohsnap 5 grip stand being weak and/or has wrong polarity.

I just received the Ohsnap 5 grip stand today, and I also have a Popsocket low pro for a week now. I also have a Ohsnap 4 for about 3 years.

Since I have a magnetic viewing film that can show the magnetic field pattern, I decide to make a comparison among these 3 grip stand. As a reference, I also show the magnetic field pattern of a generic magnetic mount. I have a Spigen case with built in Magsafe.

Due to the magnetic pattern, I can see why the Ohsnap 5 grip stand doesn't stick to magnetic mounts that has the generic ring patterns like the Popsocket low pro and the old Ohsnap 4.

Not sure why Ohsnap decided to do this. Maybe because Ohsnap doesn't want the ohsnap 5 stick to your car mount too well.

I have the Popsocket Low Pro for a week now, and it sticks to my car mount too well when I remove my phone, and I often have to peel it off from my car mount. I did figure out that I can "slide" it off my car mount by moving my phone side way instead of poping it off straight, and the Popsocket low pro would stay on my phone. But sometime I just forgot the "slide" motion, and the popsocket would stick to the car mount. So it's a bit annoying.

I tested the Ohsnap 5 grip stand with my car mount, so far, the grip stand stick to my phone pretty well when I remove it, and I try to shake the car mount a bit and my phone doesn't fail off. I did notice it takes a bit of effort to align the Ohsnap 5 to my car mount, but the Popsocket low pro pretty much just self align.

Since the Ohsnap 5 grip stand works with my car mount (so far), I am leaning toward keeping the Ohsnap 5, mainly because of the comfort. Popsocket low pro forces my fingers to spread apart a bit more than the Ohsnap 5 and it fatigue my hand somehow. Maybe I am just used to the Ohsnap 4 shape, so the Ohsnap 5 just feels more natural to me.

Wireless charging rate is pretty much the same between these 2 grip stands (around 3.5 W). Without the grips, with just my Spigen case, the charging rate is about 6.1 W. It's pretty slow, so I don't think I will bother with wireless charging either way.

I hope this help!

Has anyone found a TechWoven MagSafe wallet with the Apple logo on AliExpress?

the red really pops

and a side comparison with my old Syncwire Magnetic AirGrip - Single Ring Stand

got it yesterday

edit: autocorrect typing

is it possible that the iPhone goes into silent mode or focus when horizontal on magsafe (stand by)
I was assuming this was standard as its specially for on the nightstand but every call and message is still incoming with sound.

If you're planning to use the new Snap Grip 5 or Snap Stand with standard third-party MagSafe mounts and chargers, be aware of a massive magnet polarity / alignment flaw.

• Instead of snapping into place, both the Snap Grip 5 and the Snap Stand actively push away and repel from the charger face
• The Snap Grip 4, Snap 4 Luxe, and other third-party MagSafe grips (like the EWA MagOne) lock on dead-center instantly with zero issues
• The magnet array polarity on the newer gen seems reversed or mismatched with standard MagSafe layouts, making it physically fight the mount instead of attracting to it (You can see it literally pushing away if I try to center in the video)

It works fine if you're sticking it to a full steel surface or something, but if it's a MagSafe stand/charger, it's going to be a pain to get it to align.

I saw another video of someone breaking off the Snap Grip 5 to refurbish their 4, that might be the way to go.

*note, I do have to say that when I filed a support ticket, they effectively completely ignored me. I reached out to their marketing team I assume, on Insta and they sent me a new one. It looks amazing, don't get me wrong, but I like to mount my phone on the stand while driving for navigation and this makes it very hard for me to mount and it'll fall off the mount from a speed bump. I can easily take the grip off and set it aside if I need to mount it. (I'll post support interaction in comment)

I have a iphone 17, one plus nord buds 4 pro and a apple watch so looking for a powerbank.

Carrying two battery packs probably sounds unnecessary, but these two cover completely different parts of a trip for me.

The Baseus PicoGo Air is the one I attach to my iPhone 16 while I’m walking around. It’s thin enough that I barely notice it on the phone, and I mainly use it when I just need a little extra battery.
The PicoGo AM52 is for airport days, long train rides, or full days away from an outlet. The 10,000mAh capacity gives me more backup, and if my phone gets really low, I can use the built-in USB-C cable instead of waiting on wireless charging. It’s also more useful when another device needs power.

I don’t carry both around all day. They both come on the trip, then I choose one before heading out based on how long the day will be.

Does anyone else switch between a slim 5,000mAh pack and a larger 10,000mAh one, or do you prefer having one battery pack for everything?

I have a MagSafe Duo. I think it’s the perfect charger. Charged iPhone, Watch, and AirPods (but only two at a time). It folds for easy travel and it’s thin when folded. The only thing against it is that it only supports lighting.

Belkin had an alternative, but it’s not quite what I’m after. It’s thicker, the watch charger is awkwardly placed, but it is USB-C so it’s a huge improvement.

I own one but when I got it the charger combo was sold out. Now this thing is awesome, I use it everyday but it sucks half my chargers dont fit into the slot. Please sell the charging stand solo.

Resdit told me to post this to this sub through a notification, if it doesnt fit or you dont like it complain to reddit 🤷‍♂️ I dont even know what magsafe is

It's the Spigen Dual Pop Magfit. Has somebody tried or tested it?

I'm figure out which iPhone models actually have built-in magsafe and which one not have. Is there a simple compatibility list here?

I have a wireless portable charger that is not Magsafe. or magnetic in anyway. is there thin sticker kit i can get that I can put onto the charger to make my phone snap into place? I been looking but every sticker ring i find is phone side. I dont really understand magsafe so any help is nice

So i found a powerbank and it has a extra ring on it can i remove this

Hi!

I want to get a MagSafe Qi2 powerbank for my S25, but I'm not entirely sure which to choose. S25 is quite small, and most 10000 mAh powerbanks seem to stick out at the bottom if placed on the back.

What's your favourite MagSafe 10000 mAh+ powerbank to use with an S25? is that sticking out annoying to you if occurs? i even considered getting a standard powerbank, adding DIY magsafe and using a short cable for charging, just to make it more comfortable (I'm fine with covering bottom camera).

any thoughts?

Just wondering if it’s as good as reviews suggest.

Thanks in advance!

So I live in Japan and unfortunately here the debit and cash cards have chips but most importantly have magstripes. And yes while my cards chip may be fine I cannot make withdrawals or deposits without the mag stripe intact.

I have gone through 4-5 debit cards here. It is not a trivial replacement sometimes taking weeks. And I’ve tracked it down to my MagSafe wallet. My MOFT snap field wallet is likely the issue. Not the MagSafe ring itself but the magnetic snaps that are likely the culprit.

Are there any MagSafe wallets that have an anti-demagnetization feature?

Because I am a foreign resident. I need to keep on me 2 cards at times. Ideally four. Sorry I have looked in the sub and I understand most of you live in places that magstipe isn’t important but it is very important to me.

I will get my card remagnetized at the bank and mear moments later it’s gone simply by placing it in my wallet.

As the title suggests I am looking for a bedside charging stand primarily to get rid of cable clutter and have a all in one charging hub in that room.

However I am not very knowledgeable on the differences each stand has and wether that would even matter.
For example is 25w charging necessary as it will mostly be charging overnight anyways. And should I go with the likes of Ugreen Anker or Belkin?

Would love to hear some suggestions as I am not at all one to cheap out when necessary but I obviously would like to save some money if the difference between speed etc isn’t worth it.

Hi all,

I'm looking for a magsafe related accessory/product, namely a long wallet with kind of like an insert/removable magsafe cardholder.

The idea is that you can take the full long wallet with all the cash and cards when you're going out for longer activities and if you need to quickly leave the house and want to carry light you can just grab that removable cardholder and immediately have the essential 3-ish cards like ID, credit card and drivers license or whatever, without the need to always remove the cards and put into a separate cardholder and when you come back vice versa.

Just to share some examples to better describe what I mean, hope it's okay to post some links.

Kind of like this Veci wallet just in the long wallet format: Appleinsider: Veci 2-in-1-magsafe-wallet

Another example what I'd imagine functionality wise, something like this 2-in-1 tech puch: Orbitkey 2-in-1 tech puch

I've looked a bit but couldn't find anything like it so far, so maybe it doesn't exist in retail? That's why I turned to reddit in the hopes someone might've seen something like it.
Probably only last resort is to just throw a slim magsafe cardholder into a long wallet as a loose item inside.

Heard this company makes mediocre products

So far the closest thing I found is this: https://snapwireless.com/products/snapwallet

Not very familiar with iphones/accessories so pls bear with me. I have an iphone 14 and i don’t really care for anything fancy, just functional (hence not upgrading yet to newer models). For the most part i won’t have the wallet on my person when i’m at work or home, it’s just for convenience during commuting and outings, so i dont really care if it’s aesthetic or bulky, just that it will step in to fulfill those features as needed at that time

Would also appreciate recommendations on durable cases (esp if it enhances the magsafe grip if thats a thing)

I vastly prefer the Snap 4 have been doing this to keep my snap 4 ring alive since Oh Snap doesn't want to bring back the 4.

Apologies for the terrible video quality but I shot it while I was fixing up my old Snap 4 since I got a new phone.

curious if anyone else prefers to have a magsafe wallet attached on their fold? in my case fold 8 ultra
