MagSafe PopSockets are life changing, and on sale for Black Friday

If you have an iPhone 12 or later, your iPhone has one of the best features that Apple recently introduced to the iPhone: MagSafe. With MagSafe, there’s essentially a ring of magnets on the back of the iPhone, meaning your phone can magnetically attach to (or vice versa) a host of MagSafe-compatible accessories, including chargers, batteries, phone grips, mounts, mobile tripods and more toga. Honestly, MagSafe is one of those iPhone hardware features that I just can’t live without anymore, and I really wish Android manufacturers would copy it so that it becomes an industry standard.

But what is one of my most used MagSafe accessories? It’s simple: PopSockets PopGrip for MagSafe. This neat little thing practically lives on my iPhone 14 Pro all day, and I only take it off when I need to use another MagSafe accessory, like a car mount. It’s my most used MagSafe accessory, and right now you can grab it for 20% off on Amazon as well as the PopSockets website, bringing it down to just $24 from its original price of $30.

Why you should buy PopGrip for MagSafe

PopSockets have been around for a long time, and when they first came out I thought they were pretty stupid to be honest. I mean, why would I want to stick this round thing on my phone and not be able to lay it flat on a surface? But then I bought one, and man, these things are game changers.

With the PopSocket PopGrip, it was much easier for me to hold the phone with one hand. I bought my first PopGrip with an iPhone XS, which had a 5.8-inch screen. I liked the size, although it was still a little big for my small, petite hands. While it’s definitely better than the current 6.1-inch size of my iPhone 14 Pro, I still had trouble using it one-handed. When I put the PopGrip on, it was easier to control. Plus, I could use the PopGrip as a makeshift stand if I wanted to.

But there’s one thing I didn’t like about PopGrips: they stick to your device with glue. While it’s easy enough to move it around if needed, it would be difficult to do so all the time if you’re using wireless chargers or car mounts, or even just changing phone cases frequently. I would also be concerned that the glue would wear off and then it wouldn’t “stick” either.

PopSockets PopGrip for MagSafe changes all that. It has a larger, tablet-shaped “base” for placing the magnet on the iPhone itself or any compatible MagSafe case. But because it uses magnets rather than glue to attach, it’s easy to take off when needed and then simply put back on. This is much lighter than glue, which can wear off over time — but my MagSafe PopGrip is still going strong over a year later!

You can also replace those PopTops

Another thing I really love about PopSockets is the fact that there are so many cool designs. I’ve acquired a decent collection of Disney PopSockets (with some Marvel) and while the PopGrip for MagSafe doesn’t have a Disney-specific design, I can easily swap out the tips. The MagSafe PopGrip comes with an interchangeable top, so you can easily use the base and put on your favorite PopTop, giving your iPhone 12, iPhone 13 or iPhone 14 a touch of personality!

Design choices for the PopGrip for MagSafe are unfortunately quite limited in terms of colors and patterns. Although I have several different colors in my collection, I regularly use solid black — black looks good with everything. Even black does not detract from the PopTop I am showing.

PopSockets for everyone

While I talked about the MagSafe-specific PopGrip (there’s also a MagSafe PopWallet+), PopSockets currently has 20% off everything on its website. This includes not only the MagSafe collection, but also phone cases, mounts, a whole range of different PopGrip designs, including the new Dimensionals premium grips, Disney, vacation, Anker MagGo battery pack with integrated PopGrip and more.

Basically, if you need a fantastic grip for your iPhone or Android smartphone, look no further than PopSockets. There are so many to choose from, and they are sure to turn heads with their style while still being functional.
