Great for a pop socket lover but not for me

As a pop socket product, this is definitely the best that I’ve seen. It can be configured in multiple positions as a stand and allows greater flexibility than the traditional pop socket design. My wife has been a long time pop socket user, and I have always resisted them because I charge my phone via MagSafe and have to remove the Pop Socket, and I overall didn’t care for the “stand” ability that the traditional Pop Socket provides.
This one, however, can act as a more traditional angled phone stand, and is simultaneously flexible to configure an optional angle and rigid so it doesn’t slide around once the angle is set. I found this very convenient for setting up my phone on a table for easy viewing.
My biggest drawback is when charging my phone. Since I charge my phone wirelessly, the Pop Socket has to be removed in order for it to charge. I was hoping since the Pop Socket can be folded entirely out of the way that it might still be able to charge via MagSafe without entirely removing it, but unfortunately that doesn’t work. I found myself taking off the Pop Socket at night to charge and forgetting to put it on in the morning, and then not really missing it.
I still think this is the best version of the Pop Socket that exists, so it’s a 5/5 considering the available options. If they could build a version that would support MagSafe charging by folding the Pop Socket out of the way instead of having to remove it entirely, I’d be interested in seeing if it fits into my daily flow.
I actually plan to try and continue using it, and picking up a Pop Socket car mount since they’re readily available. I’d still recommend this as a product despite the charging limitations.
Worth noting, this does also come with an attachable ring to use with phones that don’t support MagSafe naturally. Mine does so I didn’t need to use the attachment.

Prior to getting this, I had only used the stick-on popsickets so I was skeptical that the magnetic version would stay securely on. I love this. I’ve had absolutely no issues with the stability and this version has kickstand built it which is great (and sturdy as well). I’ve had it on my phone for about 3 weeks and haven’t had any issues. I definitely recommend!

I love my new PopSockets Magsafe Kick-Out Universal Magnetic Grip & Stand for my new Iphone! It stands up and I can watch movies, news and shows on it. Excellent stand and grip to hold.

If you have used PopSockets before, you know how useful they are. This one, while expensive, is made of a solid metal material and connects via a magnet to your phone or case. The magnet is strong. The PopSocket does not slide or rotate around unless you want it to. With enough force, such as dropping your phone, it can come off, but for normal use, it should stay on. The color is more of a purple than navy, but it is nice and goes well with the Iris Google Pixel 10 color.

LOVE the kick out. Flew to Nashville this weekend and it worked for EVERY possible airplane seatback configuration needed coming and going on different jets. And like all PopSockets great for holding your phone and typing with one hand or taking photos and selfies with ease.
Great add-on if you don't use wireless charging...

The PopSocket MagSafe Round Kick-Out PopGrip is a great addition to any phone, especially as phone sizes have gotten bigger. The PopGrip allows you to easily hold your phone when popped out as you can easily slide the popped out grip through your fingers. As phone sizes approach 7 plus inches diagonally, having that extra protection is great.
The PopSocket MagSafe Round Kick-Out PopGrip is also universally applicable to almost any device. PopSocket includes a small, metal ring you can apply either to the back of your device or to the back of your phone's case if the phone and/or case doesn't natively include MagSafe. That's really nice for older devices or devices without MagSafe built-in.
Here's the tricky part about the PopSocket MagSafe Round Kick-Out PopGrip. If you use wireless charging, you might find this add-on to be frustrating. In my case, all my devices charge on wireless chargers glued to a glass plate on top of a cabinet so the charging pads don't pull off when I take off any of my devices. The PopSocket MagSafe Round Kick-Out PopGrips don't allow you to wireless charge with that setup. There are two other options I have found, however. First, you can remove the PopGrips when you need to wireless charge. Else, you can (very carefully, the phone falls easily in this setup) use a vertical charger with the PopGrips pressed fully in and the PopGrips folded out as far as possible (see picture).
Overall, this is not a product I would recommend for people who frequently use wireless charging.

With all my family members having PopSockets on their phones, I was looking for one that fit my style and needs. This does both! I like that it will kick-stand the phone in both vertical and horizontal directions, which makes FaceTime calls easy. The black matches my phone case, and the magnetic popsocket is removable if you need to wirelessly charge your phone.

This thing is excellent. I went from other brands not really liking the whole popsocket design. But this is by far the sturdiest iphone grip I have tried. Love the wing out and the underneath is magnetic so it works with my magsafe car holder. I don't know about wireless charging - but I don't use that tbh.

This is thinner than traditional Pop sockets, which I really like. The magnet is nice and strong, and the hinge is nice and tight so that when you have propped open, it actually stays that way.

Sturdy and functional. Love that I can prop the phone up vertically. Nice that you can remove it for MagSafe charging. Wish they had more fun/themed options. It’s a little pricey but overall it works for me and suits my lifestyle well.

This particular pop socket is by far the best one I have ever bought. It is magnetic & removable allowing me to use it on a different phone case if I need to change my case to a different style. A little pricey but glad I bought it.

Love the color, and versatility of the PopSocket. Wish the magnet was a bit strong. When you want to switch it to a different orientation, at times it pops off.
Glad to read you are loving it! Make sure your case is magsafe other wise this might reduce the grip of the magnets.

Upgrade to the MagSafe pop sockets

Love the new style. This gives you a kickstand not whether it’s upright or on its side. I love the look but ended up swapping it out for the all black and this chrome is show shiny I felt like it would end up scratching for normal wear and tear.

I love that they made this because I’ve always wishes pop socket made something so the phone could stand vertically. It also helps stand your phone horizontally if you have a thicker case where the pop socket isnt big enough

Manyof our friends had other brands of this device, but this one is perfect and the added features will really benenfit us when we get a new I phone soon.
