Shiftcam SnapGrip- Real Review on both 6.1 and 6.7 iphones

Smaller than original and half the price

I am excited about the revised version which gets rid of that cheap hinge and opens the door for quick mounting with magsafe magnets. They also supply the magnets to use with other phones but ideally you are getting this for the iphone with magsafe charging option as this has a built in battery. The LEDs on the side are well built and clearly state the remaining battery power, magsafe actively charging and BT connection. The magnetic pull is pretty solid just make sure you are using a reliable case with magnetic ring built in. I wouldn’t suggest using case-less as accidents happen and this is only being held on by magnets. This new version has some of the same build quality of the original. Again, it doesnt scream quality in hand with the plastic feel of that grip handle, why not make it have more grip with a rubber feel. The buttons feel plastically as well when pushed. The look of it is nice and it works very well with the MAX/PLUS 6.7 series phones. It felt comfortable in hand in both portrait and landscape mode with the 6.7. In portrait viewing with the 6.1 and 6.7, it feels very comfortable in hand and easy to use. In landscape mode, i found it comfortable to use with the 6.7 but not with the 6.1 inch phone as much. With 6.1 inch phone more of the handle hangs off the end of the phone and with the 6.7 it lines up exactly with phone so you are holding both the handle and phone together and feels more secure and comfortable. The button is more in an uncomfortable position and not easily aligned under your index finger do to the fact of the overall smaller footprint. You really have to curl up your index finger to get it aligned with button instead of it being in a more natural position, more pronounced to have to do that with the 6.1 vs 6.7 phone size. Didn’t notice too much of a delay from when shutter button was pressed and when phone registered it. The magnetic charging worked well and definitely another plus with those long day adventures.

I love the smaller footprint over the first generation, makes it more mobile friendly and something you can actually see taking with you for the day. The magsafe option for quick mounting and dismounting is perfect along with the innovative thoughts they made with adding additional magnetic accessories to it. Debatable purchase with iPhone 6.1 but more of a win with 6.7
and in this economy who can not love that the revised version is around half the cost of the first version. The price point of it now is more acceptable to what you receive. I definitely would of appreciated the carry case when you just order the handle … seriously you only provide that when you order the bundle…??? The handle quality could definitely offer more grip which would in turn feel more premium. As well as the buttons not being so tinny and plastically when pressed.
Other than those shortcomings they have a done a nice job with this revised version.
