PopSockets Phone Grip for MagSafe with Kickstand - Enamel Dragon

In this review the PopSockets Phone Grip for MagSafe with Kickstand in Enamel Dragon is assessed for users who want a magnetic, swappable phone grip that doubles as a kickstand. The bottom line: it is best for iPhone 12 and newer owners who use MagSafe cases and anyone with an older device willing to add the included Magnetic Adapter Ring. The single biggest reason to buy is the strong magnetic attachment and built in compatibility with PopSockets MagSafe accessories, which together make it a flexible everyday grip and stand.

Key Features

• MagSafe built in: Built in magnets securely attach to iPhone 12 and up MagSafe cases, providing a fast snap on and off experience for daily use.
• Universal adapter ring: The included Magnetic Adapter Ring lets many Android, Samsung, Google Pixel and legacy iPhone devices use magnetic PopSocket accessories.
• Wireless charging friendly: The round PopGrip is removable so you can slide it off and place the phone on a wireless charging pad without obstruction.
• Strong magnetic hold: PopSockets claims magnets 40% stronger than a standard Apple-compliant MagSafe for a more secure hold in mounts and while handling the phone.
• Kickstand and one-handed use: The PopGrip converts to a kickstand for hands-free viewing and collapses flat when not in use for pocketability.
• Swappable top: The enamel dragon swappable top lets users change the look without replacing the whole mechanism.

Who It's For

This PopSocket is primarily for iPhone 12 and newer owners who already use or plan to use a MagSafe compatible case and want an integrated grip and stand that works with other MagSafe accessories. It also suits people with other phones who are comfortable applying the Magnetic Adapter Ring to their case to enable magnetic attachment.

Shoppers who should look elsewhere include people with silicone, textured or anti fingerprint coated cases, because the Adapter Ring is not compatible with those surfaces, and users who need a permanently fixed mount rather than a removable magnetic grip.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong magnetic attachment that provides a secure hold on compatible MagSafe cases.
• Includes an adapter ring that broadens compatibility to many non MagSafe phones and cases.
• Functional kickstand and collapsible profile make it practical for one handed use and media viewing.
• Swappable enamel dragon top offers a distinctive look without changing the mechanism.

Cons

• Mixed reports about adhesive durability and stickiness on some cases mean long term reliability can vary.
• Adapter Ring is not compatible with silicone, textured or anti fingerprint coated cases and does not support wireless charging when used.
