Customers are saying

Customers find value in the PopGrip's ease of use, grip, design, and functionality as a kickstand and stand. Many appreciate the variety of colors and its stickiness, while some feel it offers good drop protection for the price. However, a few customers have noted that it can interfere with wireless charging and add bulk to the phone.

    Fell Apart

    Super bummed. This PopSocket fell apart 5 months after purchase. It should last a little longer because I paid $20 for this and it wasn't made out of cardboard. (I had a $10 one that lasted for much longer). The plastic piece wouldn't stick/click back onto the rubber piece after it had fallen off. Super dissappinted. :(

    My wife loves the PopSocket features when used on her Kindle Fire, however it fell apart after less than 6 months. One of the tabs on the colorful plastic inset broke off and now it won't stay in place. The PopSocket is still usable, but am disappointed with the poor quality. Debating whether to purchase another, so cannot recommend at this time.

    I bought one of these in January 2020, when I bought a new phone. By July, it had broken. I loved the look of it, so I bought another one in July 2020. That one has now broken. In July, I bought my mom a similar Pop Socket, which was cheaper. Hers still looks new. Do not pay more for this one. It will not even last a year. I will not buy it a third time.

    I’ve had numerous pop socket products in the past, but this must be a dud. When applying, it would not stick whatsoever. It was dry to the touch like the glue wasn’t even on it.

    It's cute and all but will eventually fall off. I've read that it's due to the continuous heating coming from your phone battery. Luckily my phone case is old so I just super glued it on. Now I can't get rid of the excess glue, lol.

      Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your PopGrip fell off. Depending on how old the PopGrip was it happens sometimes but should not happen for a long time when new and depending on usage. A genuine PopSocket is designed to collapse and expand 12,000 times, and re-stick over 100 times. Please contact us at cs@popsockets.com and we'll see if there is something we can do to make it right.

    When it works it’s great. My issue is it does not stick well to my Otter Box case and slides off quite often. It’s frustrating to re-attach it so often, at some point I’m sure the adhesive will completely deteriorate and I’ll throw it away.

    The quality of the plastic and rubber is great. The adhesive? Not at all. Ensured i wiped the surface of my phone with an alcohol wipe, let dry and applied the pop socket and worked well for two days. On the third day, the adhesive was no longer working and kept coming off. Was expecting more for the price.

      Thank you for your review, Alan! We are sorry that your PopGrip base is not sticking well, and for the inconvenience, this may have caused you. That should not happen but sometimes does. and the item might be defective. Please note: PopSockets bases are engineered to be super sticky and most compatible with smooth, flat surfaces. PopSockets bases will not stick as well to silicone, highly textured, as many soft cases on the market. They also will not adhere as well to iPhone 11 and up models or the Samsung Z3 flip phone models without a suitable case.



      Not recommended to stick to leather or fabric/textile cases. Our super sticky gel may damage leather cases when trying to reposition or remove the base.

      The gel does not stick "as well" with naked iPhones. While it does stick adequately to a naked base model (and sometimes to Pro/Pro Max depending on circumstances), it will not stick "as well" as if you used a suitable case. If the above does not apply, please contact us at cs@popsockets.com and we'll send you a code for a free new sticky base. We'll be happy to assist.

    The Pop socket wont stay on and continuely come off. I lost the back of it at work (I work as a nurse in a hospital), and luckily, my co worker found it on the ground and returned it to me. I dont know if its just this one that is faulty. I haven’t had problems in the past with this brand. I am going to try ro return it and get another one cause I love the design.

    Expensive little gadget. I only wish it would stick better. It pops off all of the time causing me to drop my phone sometimes. I would return it, but I no longer have the box.

    I bought this PopSocket to swap out on my Otter+Pop Defender Series case for my Samsung S10+. It looks cool and it works well as a grip. It doesn't work as a stand for my phone. It collapses when you barely touch the screen. The original PopSocket that was included with the case feels like it is made of stiffer rubber and supports the phone better than this one. I would recommend this be used on other phones, but not on the Otter+Pop Defender Series Case for the Samsung S10+.

    This would work great if it were stuck directly to the back of your phone however I have a OtterBox phone case and stuck it to the back of that. It did not stick to it very long, maybe three days. I then noticed it popped part of my Otter box backing up. I bought this with the OtterBox and was not told I couldn’t use them together. I am just disappointed that it won’t work on my OtterBox phone case.

    I figured I’d see what the hype is all about...these would be better if there were difference sizes...my fingers barely fit behind this when fully extended. This did not stick as well as I hoped it would. I had this on an iPhone 7plus with the Apple silicone case.

    I bought this popsocket a week ago and i had to change my phones case so i had to remove this off of the old phone case and it came off in such a ripped manner. The sticky part of the popsocket was so jagged and not how it was supposed to be. I have had popsockets in the past that i bought so i know how they're supposed to be like on the back, so when i saw that this one was not like it was supposed to look like i was very disappointed! Nonetheless, i still use this on my phone but i would have loved if it wasn't messed up on the sticky part of the popsocket.

    I had one that I received for free from a tradeshow that was smaller and worked very well. This one is significantly larger, and wouldn't pop into position very well and didn't hold my phone up. A waste of money, but it may have been a one off.

    It would have been a 5 star rating... Unfortunately when I first stuck it to my phone, it was in the wrong spot. I was able to remove it no problem and restick it to where I wanted it. When I pulled on the popsocket to expand, the whole accordion popped off the base part stuck to the phone. Tried countless times trying to fix it, but the rubber accordion wouldn't go over the little piece to hold it to the back of the phone. Looked up videos online and troubleshot through Popsocket, no way to put it back together (this version does not allow the design to pop off to re-attach the accordion to the base). Ended up throwing it out due to frustration. Did not even get to experience a full hour with the product.

    I was under the impression that this one was the durable metal version, it was instead just plastic. Which last time I bought one looking like this from ATT it was metal, this one is not the same and is cheap plastic. Not very durable at all.

    So the popsocket thing was cool until I removed it and tried to put it on my new LifeProof case... At that point I read the packaging and realized that the pop socket does not work on waterproof cases, why would something that is made to secure your phone not work on a case that is made to secure your phone? I don't understand why it worked just fine but left a big round in print that I cannot get off of my LG G5... But will not work on the waterproof case! I will be returning this, but I would recommend it for Hep phone or somebody who wants to look cool when they hold their phone, maybe buy one for your grandma or Grandpa they would love it me... Not so much!
