Have had this and the MagSafe pop wallet since they were released. Makes it really easy to switch between the two since I don't always want the bulk of the wallet if I don't need it.

IMO, the Handl New York grips are far superior to popsockets. They are not hard plastic like popsockets and have an elastic that you can easily adjust the grip and even use with one finger. They also have a buikt in stand function. Slightly more expensive at $19.99.

BestBuy has these same MagSafe PopSockets on sale along with the MagSafe PopSocket Wallets for $19.99 right now. I ended up grabbing one of each from them to try out. I used to use PopSockets on my Plus/Pro Max iPhones before I went all in on MagSafe charging. And I have been using the Apple MagSafe Wallet for two years and absolutely love the convenience.... Hoping the PopSocket Wallet will be the best of both worlds!

Related pop sockets are great for kindle.

Does the MagSafe one really work as well as an adhesive?
A bit better. It is plenty secure for everyday use. The big deal is that it is very easy to remove and use all the other MagSafe stuff as needed.

These things are definitely overpriced, but they're awesome for the limited situations where I like to use a PopSocket style phone holder. Like scrolling through Reddit when laying in bed.

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.

I've had this for a year now and it works great. I had wrist/hand issues from holding my phone the standard way one handed and this has really helped that. I've never had the magnet fall off other than when I dropped my phone altogether. I use the Smartish clear MagSafe case with it. My only complaint is how much the pop sockets themselves cost as I'd love to swap them more often.

I did just order the newer, smaller model to pair with my new phone I'm getting.
