If you wanted to design an object that was difficult to hold and easy to break, you would probably take inspiration from current smartphones. Most have tiny edges, covered with shiny glass and polished metal. If you value your device, it’s almost essential to get yourself a smartphone case or grip. However, many smartphone grips are quite chunky and inflexible. Ohsnap offers a smart alternative. This magnetic smartphone grip lets you maintain a firm hold through 360 degrees.

What is a magnetic smartphone holder?

Most smartphone grips are large rubber node that you slide between your fingers. The design offers a secure hold, but you won’t be able to slide your phone into your pocket any time soon.

In contrast, Ohsnap lies flat against the back of your phone. When you need a better grip, you just press the central area and a finger loop pops up. You then slide your digit inside the newly-created ring which is attached to the main plate by a hook.
