About US
My name's Dale Backus, founder of ohsnap and creator of the ohsnap grip. I found my passion for inventing physical products when I launched my first technology company, SmallHD, at the age of 22 (later acquired by The Vitech Group in 2014).
In 2017, I attended the CES trade show, where I came across a phone grip company that had sold over 1 million units with nothing more than a simple elastic band adhered to the back of a phone. This stayed with me, because I knew existing products were only scratching the surface of what was possible. People spending thousands of dollars on their devices deserved better. I wanted a phone grip that was simple, useful, and never got in the way something so sleek that you'd only notice it when you needed it. Nearly four years and hundreds of prototypes later, ohsnap became a reality.
Today, our company values are simple:
1. Only make “wow” products.
2. Obsess over the details.
3. Be truly original.
4. Inject fun and boldness into everything.
5. Never introduce a product purely for revenue.
6. Do what’s best for the customer, not what’s best for us.
Every decision we make is rooted in these beliefs, and we hope you feel that with every interaction and product we create. Our mission is to elevate the experience of everyday technology, without compromising on style, comfort, or utility the kind of products that make you say: "Oh, snap!"
Our current lineup (ohsnap grip, mcon and more to come in the UK) is just the beginning of an ever-expanding ecosystem that will always be innovated and improved. With your support, our small team will keep growing and making amazing products that don't suck.
Gratefully,
-Dale & the ohsnap team
