Are you upgrading or will this be your first time buy a Snap product? Let me know!

special guest speaker sounds like one of those reddit videos that read stories with minecraft parkour gameplay.

Just put mine on yesterday. I also have the Spigen Ultra case. So far seems like a great combo. The Spigen can stand the phone in portrait or landscape.

I have the Oh Snap 3 currently (around 1yr) and its seen some better days haha. Its cracked down the middle, does not stay popped in anymore, and one of the legs is snapped off. I hope the On Snap 4 Luxe build quality lasts longer.

You earned a new subscriber with this video. I found your video researching this mount. Great video and very practical information that’s relevant for daily use. I’ll be checking out your other videos now.

I've been benchmarking Qi charging with and without the Luxe 4, and the results so far show that the accessory does impact charging efficiency by generating more heat. I will release a future video that fully reports on this.

TLDR: you may want to reconsider this accessory if Qi (wireless) charging and long-term battery health are essential to you. Personally, I plan not to use Qi charging, so it doesn't have as much impact.

Love this review. $47 CAD is sooo hefty considering I paid $9.99 for my pop socket, which functions perfectly fine except for the fact that I can’t charge wirelessly. So I have to take my case off every time I get in my car (every day!). I appreciate knowing about the clicking volume because I use my pop socket when I am scrolling while rocking my baby to sleep and the loud click could def wake him up. I also hold my phone by the popsocket a lot while also holding bags, a water bottle, and a toddler all at once. I like the idea of just sticking a finger through the centre.

Most thorough review I’ve seen, and you’ve pointed out all the things I’m curious about. Great review!

I removed the sticky stuff by rolling it off. That way I can take in on and off or switch between phone and case. The magnet is plenty strong using is with my iPhone 15 Pro Max.

[CMIC]

Haha, boi. I saw that quick cut at the "unlock incognito tabs"! 😂😂😂

[JMTZS]

Really like it
What I don't like is that sometimes it get stuck on my magsafe mount
Has anyone had that issue?

[nef]

Thanjs for the review. What phone case are you using?

[dsham]

i love it! The magnet is super strong and i don’t worry about it falling. i’m going you purchase three more for my sons and my brother Yhis weekend! It’s a bit pricey but compared to how many pockets i’ve lost it’s worth it because this isn’t going anywhere unless you remove it. I would definitely recommend it!

[HelloHelery]

Can it be removed off and on like the pop socket MagSafe grip?

[wiseguysshow]

I’ve had mine for three weeks and I’m in construction. With the three- which loved- it scratched in days. The plastic center on the 4 has zero scratches. I’m not sure what they did but the finish is better. Still looks brand new. Also the aluminum seems to actually keep the phone cooler while charging. I haven’t seen any downside from charging. The grip is far more comfortable and long usage is much more using. The heat so far when qi charging has not been an issue for me

[jiovannirosario]

Thanks for posting this review. It helped me make the decision to buy my first Snap product!

[iZacq]

Can we do Wireless charging on Android phone or just works as a Grip holder

[jorgechi]

Hey buddy! I’m considering seriously to buy the snap 4, how’s been your experience? Are u uploading the review?

[defu]

Just got mine, its been great! Huge quality of life upgrade for me

[ahmaddhooma]

Has anyone found that it definitively does or doeant increase hear production while non magsafe wireless charging?
