PopGrip for MagSafe Magnetic Phone Grip & Stand - Cruella De Vil

Our review of the PopGrip for MagSafe (Cruella De Vil) finds it best suited for iPhone users who want a secure, swappable grip that doubles as a kickstand and integrates with MagSafe accessories. The single biggest reason to buy is the stronger magnetic attachment: PopSockets says the magnets are about 40% stronger than standard Apple-compliant MagSafe, which translates to a noticeably firmer hold for one-handed use and everyday handling. This review looks at fit, compatibility, and real-world convenience for those who already use MagSafe cases or want to give non-MagSafe phones magnetic capability.

Key Features

• MagSafe compatibility: Built-in magnets securely attach to iPhone 12 and up MagSafe cases, making on-off use fast and straightforward for wireless charging sessions.
• Included adapter ring: The Magnetic Adapter Ring gives many Android, Samsung, Google Pixel and older iPhone devices the ability to use magnetic accessories, expanding use beyond native MagSafe phones.
• Wireless charging friendly: The round PopSocket itself slides off to allow wireless charging while the adapter ring is removable when charging is required for compatible setups.
• Swappable top: The swappable top design lets owners change the look and maintain functionality with other PopSockets MagSafe ecosystem pieces like cases, wallets and mounts.
• Stronger magnets: Magnets are rated stronger than typical MagSafe accessories, offering a more secure grip that reduces the chance of accidental drops while holding or mounting the phone.

Who It's For

This PopGrip is ideal for iPhone users with MagSafe-compatible cases who want a reliable, magnetic phone grip that also works as a kickstand for hands-free viewing. It appeals to people who switch between holding, propping and mounting their phone and who value a swappable, design-forward top like the Cruella De Vil artwork shown.

People who should look elsewhere include owners of silicone, textured or anti-fingerprint coated cases, since the included adapter ring does not adhere well to those finishes. Also, if camera obstruction from raised ears is a major concern, check fit first because some users reported partial camera blockage with certain phone and case combinations.

Pros & Cons

• Strong magnetic hold provides confidence when using the phone one-handed or on magnetic mounts.

• Collapsible design doubles as a kickstand for convenient hands-free viewing.

Cons

• Adapter ring is not compatible with wireless charging, requiring removal for some charging setups.
• On some phone and case combos the ears of the grip can partially obscure the camera, which may be inconvenient for certain users.
