PopSockets MagSafe Phone Grip - Starwars Enamel Long Live The Empire

In this review of the PopSockets MagSafe Phone Grip - Starwars Enamel Long Live The Empire, the bottom line is simple: this is for anyone who wants a secure, themed magnetic grip and a usable kickstand that snaps on and off compatible iPhone MagSafe cases. The reviewer found the strongest selling point to be the built-in magnets that are 40% stronger than standard Apple-compliant MagSafe, which keeps the grip steady during one-handed use and when propping the phone up. It also includes a Magnetic Adapter Ring so non-MagSafe phones can join the MagSafe ecosystem, making this a versatile accessory for fans of functional design.

Key Features

• MagSafe built-in: Built-in magnets securely attach to iPhone 12 and up MagSafe cases, providing a fast, reliable connection for daily use.
• Strong magnetic hold: PopSockets magnets are 40% stronger than standard Apple-compliant MagSafe, so the grip feels more secure when held or mounted.
• Magnetic Adapter Ring: The included adapter ring upgrades Android, Samsung, Google Pixel, Kindle, and older iPhone devices to use magnetic accessories on most cases.
• Wireless charging friendly: The magnetic round PopSocket easily slides off to allow wireless charging, preserving convenience for Qi charging users.
• Kickstand and grip: Collapses flat when not in use and functions as a practical kickstand for hands-free viewing anywhere.
• Compatible ecosystem: Works with PopSockets MagSafe cases, mounts, wallets, and chargers for a cohesive setup.

Who It's For

This PopSockets grip is ideal for iPhone users who carry MagSafe-compatible cases and want an easy, secure way to hold or prop their phone while watching video or texting one-handed. Fans of Star Wars who appreciate an enamel-style design will also value the aesthetic alongside the utility.

It is also a good option for Android or older phone owners who want MagSafe-style functionality, provided their case works with the included adapter ring. Buyers who use silicone, textured, or anti-fingerprint coated cases should look elsewhere because the adapter ring is not compatible with those finishes.

Cons

• Adapter ring does not support wireless charging, so you must remove the magnetic top for wireless pads.
• Not compatible with silicone, textured, or anti-fingerprint coated cases, limiting its use with some popular case types.
