PopSockets Phone Grip for MagSafe, Magnetic Holder- Black

Why it's worth it

The magnetic PopSockets grip gives you a one-handed hold and a rough kickstand, then pops off in a second so you can charge wirelessly. It's the simplest way to make a large phone feel manageable.

Big phones are hard to hold, and that's the entire problem this solves. If you've caught your phone mid-slip taking a photo or replying to a text one-handed, a grip fixes it for very little money. This version uses magnets instead of adhesive, so it comes off cleanly when you want to charge on a puck or slide the phone into a pocket.

The magnetic version is a real improvement over the sticky ones. Adhesive grips left residue, wouldn't move between phones, and blocked wireless charging permanently. This one snaps on and off, survives phone upgrades, and works with MagSafe iPhones and cases. Owners who used taped-on grips for years consistently prefer it.
