I finally found a magnetic phone grip I never want to remove
我终于找到了一款我再也不想取下的磁吸手机支架
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.
我曾告诉自己，绝不会再为手机购买 OhSnap 的配件。我测试过的每一款产品虽然都不错，但总觉得价格虚高且存在些许瑕疵。去年在评测完 40 美元的 Snap Grip 5 后，我最终还是选择了继续使用 25 美元的 Syncwire。但 OhSnap 售价 50 美元的 Snap Grip Stand 最终还是征服了我。能让一个真正实用的竖向支架和指环扣随时吸附在手机上，随时待命？当然没问题。
I started testing the Snap Grip Stand months ago, and soon discovered that I never took it off. So I bought my own.
几个月前我开始测试这款 Snap Grip Stand，很快就发现我再也没把它取下来过。于是，我自掏腰包买了一个。
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.
它非常薄——仅 3.7 毫米，可以轻松滑入我的口袋，不会在裤子上留下明显的凸起。它像上一代产品一样配备了双面磁吸环，因此它不仅能吸附在带有磁吸功能的手机上，还能平整地吸附在冰箱、健身器材或我的车库储物柜上。它甚至还能支持部分无线充电。
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.
和上一代一样，磁铁能紧紧吸住我的手机，而指环部分是我试过最灵活的设计之一。巧妙的互锁关节既可以像 PopSocket 那样松散地夹在两根手指之间，也可以将手指穿过关节，获得非常稳固的握持感。
The whole disc spins freely (though still with a bit of scraping noise) to rotate to any angle you like.
整个圆盘可以自由旋转（尽管仍会发出一点摩擦声），让你调整到任何喜欢的角度。
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.
但与上一代不同的是，这款支架拥有市面上大多数磁吸指环所不具备的支撑功能。整个磁吸环现在被一个带有铰链臂的更薄的折叠环所包围。向下拉动，它就能毫不费力地将手机以正常的竖直方向支撑起来。大多数竞品支架很难支撑起手机，即便能做到，展开速度也不够快。而这款产品无需取下支架，也不像 OhSnap 以前的指环那样需要旋转并锁定卡扣——只需拉出、放在桌面上，搞定。
It’s not the only stand with such a design. The $17 Gornergrat Grat 5 has a similar stand and costs far less. But I tried one and found I don’t like its elastic strap, which feels loose and thus less secure around my fingers.
这并不是唯一采用此类设计的支架。售价 17 美元的 Gornergrat Grat 5 也有类似的支架，而且价格便宜得多。但我试用后发现我不喜欢它的弹性带，感觉松松垮垮的，套在手指上不够稳固。
OhSnap makes use of the extra vertical arm space to keep the stand from rotating when you don’t want it to: it’s got a extra vertical magnet in there to match Apple’s MagSafe pattern, as well as some grippy clear plastic material to provide friction.
OhSnap 利用额外的垂直臂空间来防止支架在不需要时旋转：它内置了一块额外的垂直磁铁以匹配苹果的 MagSafe 标准，并配有一些防滑透明塑料材质来增加摩擦力。
And I’m happy to say the aluminum gadget doesn’t seem to have any other unwanted coatings: I wasn’t a fan of the adhesive on the Snap Grip 4, or the soft-touch coating that started to peel when I tested the Snap Grip 5. Here, it appears to be bare anodized metal that looks and feels great.
很高兴看到这款铝制小工具似乎没有涂抹任何多余的涂层：我不太喜欢 Snap Grip 4 上的粘合剂，也不喜欢我在测试 Snap Grip 5 时开始剥落的类肤涂层。而这款产品看起来是裸露的阳极氧化金属，外观和手感都很棒。
Right now, I can only think of three things that’d make it better: a lower price, magnets in the stand’s ring (rather than the main ring) so I can use the magnets and the stand at the same time, and maybe a better way to open the grip one-handed.
目前，我能想到三个可以改进的地方：更低的价格；将磁铁置于支架环（而非主环）中，这样我就可以同时使用磁吸功能和支架；以及或许能有一种更好的单手打开指环的方法。
I do like how Tango’s spring-loaded grip can pop open when you press it. But I tried a Tango too, and I don’t like the way that spring feels between my fingers, pushing them apart too much.
我确实很喜欢 Tango 那种按下即可弹开的弹簧指环设计。但我试用过 Tango 后，不喜欢那种弹簧在手指间的感觉，它把我的手指撑得太开了。
As for the lower price, at least OhSnap’s products are regularly on sale. I bought mine at Best Buy for $40 after tax.
至于价格方面，至少 OhSnap 的产品经常打折。我是在百思买（Best Buy）以 40 美元（含税）的价格买到的。
