Spigen Style Ring 360 Cell Phone Ring/Phone Grip/Stand/Holder for All Phones and Tablets Compatible with Magnetic Car Mount - Gun Metal

I bought this almost 4 months ago and I've been waiting to write a review to see how well this holds up over time.I've gone through so many ring holders, popsockets, phone grips, etc. over the past year and I would say unequivocally, this is the best, most durable one of them all. I've bought Spigen phone cases in the past that were very high quality for the price, so I thought after about 20 different failed phone grips, I'd give this product a shot. I'd been putting it off because it's a bit more expensive than the cheap ones that come in packs of 3 and such.-it's still stuck tightly to my phone case. I have had 0 issues with it coming unstuck.-the swivel function of the ring has remained perfect. On other ring holders, it will get loose over time and spin a little too freely.-one issue I've had specifically with ring holders is that within a month of use, the screws holding the ring to the base will get loose and stick out, which would affect my ability to fully open and close the ring. I still have no issues with the screws coming out on this one.-related to the screws loosening, once those come out, the ring part will often flap around, which means you wouldn't be able to stand the phone on it's side. I'm still able to use the ring to stand my phone up in landscape mode with this ring.-the back of this holder is flat, so resting the phone on it's back gives me few issues. I found popsockets and some other ring holders to be too tall and/or rounded to keep my phone from flopping around when placed back side down.I guess the only downside is that the ring holder has the Spigen branding written on it, which I don't like, but you really won't find another phone grips of such good quality anywhere else on Amazon, believe me. I think I've tried them all at this point.

The media could not be loaded. This phone grip looked and worked just fine . . . for the first few weeks. The ring pulled out easily and yet held firm in what ever position I put it. "Nice" I thought.Then I noticed the finish started to come off, just a little bit in one spot. No big deal for me as I am more concerned about function. Then the finish wore off more and more.Then, as other reviews here have mentioned, the pin started to slide out. And when it slides out, the ring becomes less supportive. Eventually, the pin pulls out of the one side of the tab and then the ring is completely useless at that point.I thought I'd try to salvage it. I mean, it was junk at this point, so why not try to save it? I tried to push the pin back in but wasn't successful at first. A big reason is because when you put pressure on the pin, the ring rotates away from the pressure point.So how to keep that from happening? I eventually used a vise grip pliers (just tight enough to hold it without scratching it up too much. Again, I'd rather have it working than be concerned about how it looks) to prevent the rotation and used a small hammer and punch to get the pin back in. While trying to do that, I had to make sure the holed were lined up between the ring and tab. It was a bit of a frustrating exercise. I eventually go the pin in place.This worked but only for a short time. The pin eventually worked its way out again. I punched it back in but as you may have already guessed, it came out again.In picture pictures one and two are close ups of the pin coming out. You can also see where the vise grips caused some cosmetic damage. The third picture shows the finish wearing off. And lastly, the video shows how non-functional the ring is once the pin comes out.I purchased this Feb 13 and today's post is Mar 23. I should have returned it when I had a chance but for the $15 I spent for it, not a big deal. That's on me. But I'm done with it. Threw it in the garbage and am going to get something else from a different manufacturer.TL;DR The pin holding the ring slides out rendering the holder useless. Do not buy.

I've only tried 4 ring grips, but this is by far the best. 1) it's compatible with magnetic phone holder/mounts. I didn't imagine that any wouldn't be compatible but then I got one (Ringke) not made with ferromagnetic metal and was disappointed not to be able to use my magnetic car mount. 2) It is wonderfully slim. I haven't had another with this flat of profile before and it's nice that it doesn't protrude from my phone very much. 3) The flat side of the ring makes it much more stable and resistant to tipping when the ring is used as a "kickstand." 4) The "kickstand" attachment feels really secure. Time will tell if it lasts after more than a month of wear, but other ring grips I've had either didn't work as a kickstand as new or stopped being able to hold up the phone (instead they just folded open/closed) after a short time.The only slight negative is that it's somewhat hard to rotate the ring around. I'm not able to do it with one hand, I have to hold my phone with the other hand in order to rotate the ring (e.x. to have the kickstand portrait vs. landscape oriented).Overall, this is a great ring grip and I will definitely buy this again next time I get a new case/phone.Update: after almost 6 months of use, the "kickstand" functionality of this ring is still perfect. I occasionally set my phone (Pixel 3) on a desk to read or view a video, and my phone stays solidly up at an angle and is able to withstand tapping/swiping for navigation/typing just fine (provided one doesn't jab unnecessarily hard). The color at the edge of the ring is wearing some but not enough to make it look unacceptably bad in my opinion, but I attached a photo for you to be the judge.
