PopSockets MagSafe Phone Grip: Blue Opalescent Expired

Hi, OP here. Just wanted to share some thoughts since my baby hit FP!

+Lowest price ever for BLACK per the Camel triplets. I've had this in my cart for a while but couldn't justify it at $30. Trust me - the neutral colors (black, white, clear) rarely go on sale, if ever. That's because most people will change out the top. Since black goes with everything, it's very popular and just a good one to get if you're already invested in the PopSockets ecosystem.

+As TenseGazelle7819 mentioned, many Marshall's and TJMaxx sell discounted Popsocket items from time to time. But YMMV - most of the ones at my local Marshall's is really glittery or way too quirky for my taste. Definitely still worth checking out though. Whenever I go, I especially like to see if they got any new LUXE/PREMIUM/SPIN tops (~$9.99, retail $20-50) in stock - haha pro tip.

+Also FYI - Popsockets recently released another MagSafe style https://a.co/d/b1ID3Vh that has a smaller base. This circle style retails for apx. the same price as typical price of this FP item (retail $30) but also comes with an adhesive magnetic adapter ring that you can stick on whatever you want in order to mimic the MagSafe magnets for use with compatible accessories (but not for charging). Maybe some of you will like this smaller footprint on the back.

+Personally, I prefer the bigger FP one to the new smaller one because the bigger FP one has a stronger hold since it uses both the circle and line magnets. It also feels more comfortable to me overall because I have big hands (can palm a basketball) so I like that there is more consistency across the larger surface of the base as opposed to constantly feeling two different heights with my fingers when they're resting on the edges of the smaller circle. But to each their own. Everything will just be personal preference. Including if you want the wallet version that adds convenience but also bulk.

+There is also another budget friendly option worth mentioning here in case you already own a popsocket but just want to make it MagSafe friendly. This company (and several others) make $9.99 plastic https://a.co/d/iPp2QHT and $14.99 aluminum https://a.co/d/hgH8tCo MagSafe compatible bases. All you need to do is attach your popsocket to their base with the adhesive and voila! Very popular based on reviews and I suspect these and the other copycats are the main reason that popsocket finally just went ahead and released a smaller circle version too. I didn't go for this one because the inner indent (where the popsocket base is supposed to be attached) is slightly larger than the standard popsocket baseplate so there will be another height difference to deal with. I'm a bit OCD so stuff like that really tends to bother me but honestly, majority of people probably wouldn't even notice or don't care.

Anyway if you made it this far, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. If you found the deal or info to be helpful, I would always love some more rep points. I know they don't actually do anything but seeing that arbitrary internet number next to my name go up gives this longtime slickdealer a little bit more joy each time <3

tldr: Lots of options out there. If you like this style in black, it's an easy buy. Please rep OP if you want because he is an internet clout chaser.

If you're not looking for a particular color, I've seen these available at Marshall's or TJMaxx for $12.99

I have the wallet version of this. Just letting you all know it exists and is something to consider.
