Personally I love mine. Never have used any sort of phone grip before and impulse bought it after a barrage of advertisements. I’ve got no regrets about it at all.

Have had mine for a while and I love it. Little finicky but not so bad that I wanna switch back to my pop socket. Tbh if this thing can actually live up to a million pops then I don’t see why I’ll ever switch back to my pop socket. This thing just does so much more and is way more comfy and fits my needs so well. Anyone complaining about the price is a little silly considering MagSafe pop sockets cost $30, this thing is only $10 more and definitely worth that price.

Had mine for a few months now. Really like it, never used a device like this before but definitely helps with larger phone. The pass through charging was always a little sketchy for me so I just removed the sticky adhesive and just pop it off when I MagSafe charge. The magnets are plenty strong enough that it has never come off when when using even without adhesive.

We all needed this review. Thank you Lon!

[maxdeathlore]

Was very curious about this from the ads. Very nice + thorough overview! Thanks Lon!

[PlayfullWithFire]

Thank you for reviewing this for both iPhone and android!

[Kjk-lbox]

I love mine. Pass through charging works perfect even through a Pitaka case

[zedawing]

I have it. Incredible engineering. The only drawback is that MagSafe charging gets a bit warm

[RuTube]

Wish you stuck the android phone to the normal chi charger. Really wanted to see if it goes through.

[zebulon]

Thanks, great review! (Also great name BTW! 😊)

This is the MagSafe accessory I've been waiting for as an Android user! I've always disliked bulky pop-sockets and stand cases, preferring a minimalist setup. My priority is MagSafe/Qi2 charging, and this delivers. Since Android's Qi2 adoption is non-existant, the only "MagSafe" options were cases. This is the first accessory slim enough to use without a case, yet still provides reliable "MagSafe" charging. I'm using a Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and the benefits are massive: it's a secure grip, a (somewhat limited) stand, and a powerful magnet that lets me mount the phone to Qi2 and even metal objects. The stand function is a bit awkward because of the charging port placement on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, but that's a minor issue. Interestingly, it also seems to prevent the screen from going blank when I fold the phone, which is likely due to interference with the magnetic sensor. I've transitioned to "MagSafe"/Qi2 chargers, but regular Qi chargers I've tried mostly all work too. Highly recommended for Android users who want the convenience of MagSafe without the bulk! Nice work.

Wanted to really like it, but returned it today. Magnets just not strong enough. Every time I attached it to the car mount or the night stand it would come off the phone and stay with the stands.

Any discount codes out there? Zero chance I’ll pay full price. Also even Ohsnap states it wont charge with cases over 2.5 mm thick, which is not uncommon

Great video Lon. All marketers should study this advertisement.

[geomox]

I use my lux 4 on a s24 ultra on an old flat cheap wireless charger every night and it charges just fine every time.

[danielmac]

Do you know if the Ohsnap lux 4 works well when you iPhone has an OEM Apple MagSafe case? Thank you

[SylvainMenard]

Cool gadget, but not cheap! Thanks Lon.

[jameshovey]

I have a UAG Pathfinder case on my phone I'm wondering if this is compatible

[constructiongeek]

Will not charge thru on my Samsung qi charging pads, keeps starting and stopping. I have to take it off to get it to charge, luckily the adhesive is easy to remove, and the magnet is strong. Their Snapcharger is garbage though, it got to 145 degree inside of 10 minutes charging, i don't feel safe using it.

[olmecST]

It seems very thin. Does the camera bump prevent from sticking to metal objects?
