I told myself I wouldn’t buy an OhSnap accessory for my phone. Every one I’d tested was nice, but felt overpriced and slightly flawed. After I weighed in on the $40 Snap Grip 5 last year, I wound up sticking with my $25 Syncwire instead. But OhSnap’s $50 Snap Grip Stand finally got me.

To have a truly useful vertical stand and grip always attached to my phone, ready at a moment’s notice? Heck yes. After it lived in my pocket for months, I broke down and bought an OhSnap Snap Stand.

It’s thin — 3.7mm, so it slips effortlessly into my pocket without making an extra indent in my pants. It’s got a double-sided magnetic ring, like the previous gen, so it not only sticks to your magnet ring phone, it can stick flat against a fridge or gym equipment or my garage cabinets. It even lets some wireless charging through.

Like the previous gen, the magnets hold my phone tightly, and the grip part is one of the most versatile I’ve tried. The clever interlocking joints can fit between two of your fingers loosely like a PopSocket, or you can put a finger through the joints for a very secure grip. The whole disc spins freely (though still with a bit of scraping noise) to rotate to any angle you like.

But unlike the previous gen, the Stand has a stand unlike most other magnet grips on the market. The entire magnet ring is now encircled by a thinner fold-out ring on a hinged arm. Pull it down, and it effortlessly props up my phone in its normal vertical orientation. Most rival stands barely prop a phone, and even then they don’t deploy as fast. Here, there’s no need to take off the stand, or rotate it and lock a tab in place like OhSnap’s previous grips — pull out, plop phone on surface, done.
