PopSockets Phone Grip for MagSafe - Jelly Star Stitch Grip

In this review of the PopSockets Phone Grip for MagSafe, the bottom line is straightforward: this is a cute, functional MagSafe-compatible grip that works best for iPhone 12 and later users who want a reliable stand and one-handed hold. The reviewer found the Jelly Star Stitch design attractive and well made, and the magnetic attachment is noticeably stronger than typical MagSafe accessories. It is a good fit for anyone who uses MagSafe cases and values a collapsible grip that doubles as a kickstand, though those with silicone or heavily textured cases should look elsewhere.

Key Features

• MagSafe compatibility: Built-in magnets securely attach to iPhone 12 and later MagSafe cases so the grip snaps on and off easily while allowing wireless charging when removed.
• Magnetic Adapter Ring: The included adapter ring lets most Android and legacy devices use magnetic accessories, expanding usefulness beyond MagSafe phones.
• Kickstand function: The circular PopGrip flips out to prop a phone or small tablet for hands-free video viewing or video calls.
• Stronger hold: PopSockets magnets are stated to be about 40% stronger than standard apple-compliant MagSafe, giving a more secure attachment in daily use.
• Swappable top: The swappable top design lets owners change the look without replacing the entire unit, useful for personalization.
• Wireless charging workflow: You can wirelessly charge by sliding the magnetic round PopSocket off, keeping charging convenient with compatible pads.

Who It's For

The PopSockets MagSafe grip is aimed at iPhone 12 or later users who already use MagSafe cases and want a decorative, sturdy grip that doubles as a stand. It is also useful for owners of Android or older phones who want magnetic accessory compatibility via the included adapter ring.

People who rely on silicone, textured, or anti-fingerprint coated cases should look elsewhere, since the adapter ring and adhesive are not compatible with those finishes and some customers reported adhesion issues with certain case materials.
