PopSockets PopGrip Swappable Phones Tablets Reviews Summary

Magnet Strength and Attachment

Pros:

• "The magnets that hold it to my phone case are very strong."
• "It stays in place while it’s on my phone and has good grip to the magnet, but comes off easily when I want to charge my phone."
• "The magnet strength between the two is amazing. it takes considerable intentional effort to remove the popsocket from the case, so i know it'll never accidentally slip off."
• "The magnet is very strong. It hasn’t moved from its original position since I installed it to my cell phone case."
• "The magnet is incredibly strong. I use a clear plastic case specifically for use with a mag charger and this snaps over it with ease while staying put."
• "The magnet is very strong and sturdy and yet, when I need to remove it, I can."
• "Strong magnetic hold; clear and clean material as advertised."

Cons:

• "For $32 you would expect this to last at least one year, at minimum 3 months but if you need to remove the magnet for charging on certain chargers, this will not stand frequent removal."
• "But it's quite difficult to remove for wireless charging."
• "The sudden snap from pulling on it to open it sometimes makes it detach from my phone."
• "I’m using this on my iPhone 12 Pro Max and the magnet is not strong enough. If I hold the phone upside down with just the magnet for too long, it WILL fall off my phone."
• "Anytime you put your phone in your pocket or take it out- the pop socket falls off."
• "It snaps right on but sometimes when I put my phone in my pocket it falls off."
• "You can easily take these right off w hardly any force which isnt a good thing."

Material Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "The transparent color is incredibly clear."
• "The popsocket is just as pictured. Bright and full of sparkles."
• "Unlike the plastic ones I usually get it hasn't chipped or had the paint peel at ALL."
• "I’ve been using it for several months and it’s never once fell off!"
• "It’s also very durable. I never feel like it’s going to slip or fail."
• "This is seriously my favorite pop socket and the best one!! The Top back hasn't just popped of like some of my other ones."
• "Magnet is extremely strong, very good quality, and super stylish."

Cons:

• "Then when I was walking around the house the socket came off the magnet strip and shattered my phone."
• "Also, I feel like the piece is made of cheap plastic that is going to snap at some point."
• "This one only last about a month... The expandable part under the top circle is made of thin cheap plastic and it has cracked."
• "Only complaint is that the grip itself scratches very easily and then doesn’t look good not long after you get it."
• "Thin cheap plastic that cracks on all sides almost immediately."
• "Sure these work the same as generic brands. I purchased this thinking it would be something special. It’s made of an extremely small amount of materials. 35 dollars is price gouging and an insult to people who don’t realize what’s going on."
• "I've had this popsocket for 2-3 weeks been on my phone. I do very basic things with my phone and this popsocket has already cracked down both side of it."

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "So so so HAPPY they finally came out with a MagSafe PopSocket!"
• "I love this color and it looks so nice on the back of my clear case and new phone."
• "These are pricier but totally worth it if you need an easy way to hold your phone, be a little stand and lay flat to slide into a pocket."
• "I love the color of this and it works beautifully."
• "It’s very pretty and I get compliments on it. I purchased the sun and moon style. It’s got a metallic look to it."
• "Love the choices and design."
• "I got the clear one which looks great on my sparkling case. Absolutely love it!!"

Cons:

• "This pop socket is definitely not purple - it is clear/white with an iridescent shine. Depending on the type of light it looks pink or purple."
• "Nice but don’t like size I’m used to the regular popsocket if your a fan of those then u will feel the difference of grip/size between your fingers when u are holding it."
• "The color is why I took one star off, it’s not quite the blue as represented in the picture."
• "For some reason color of popsocket I ordered does not match color of the advertisement."
• "This would be nice except it oxidizes and turns a nasty yellow color."
• "Cute design but makes it hard to find a position that doesn't mess up wireless charging for the Samsung S24 Ultra."
• "Due to the design, which doesn't compensate for space lost (depth wise) to the magnet, there's less room for your fingers and it pinches uncomfortably on me."

Customer Service and Support

Pros:

• "Edit: I reached out to popsocket directly and they got back to me quickly with a code to use for a replacement."
• "I reached out to amazon again and told them my concern and an actual amazon representative helped me just get a refund with no need to return anything."
• "When I had a recent shipping/delivery problem David Britt was all over it—got back to me almost immediately and took prompt action."

Cons:

• "Then when I was walking around the house the socket came off the magnet strip and shattered my phone."
• "SCAM ALERT! Amazon provided Popsocket company support number directs you to a scam. DO NOT CALL."
• "Company gave me a really hard time about replacing. You have to contact pop socket with issues not Amazon. Wouldn’t recommend"
• "Missed the window to return but would appreciate a replacement as I've never had this issue with a pop socket in the past."
• "I am pretty sure I was sent a used/returned item. Everything is sticky and there is hair in what looks like glue."
• "I am just disappointed with the quality and now I wonder if the one I got is a bootleg…"
• "I’ve purchased/returned this item 5 TIMES in just a couple months. It sucks."

Functionality and Usability

Pros:

• "I can easily hold my phone in all kinds of angles without fear of the device slipping or dropping."
• "I love this popsocket. It folds really flat. It pops out twice. It gives you plenty of room to hold it."
• "It's insanely simple to pop off and on when needed (although I usually leave it on). It's still an overall slim form factor and have no problem fitting it into my pockets."
• "I like that I can take the popsocket off whenever I need to and then attach my phone to the carmount, and then reattach the popsocket when I get out of my car."
• "I can hold my iphone 12 pro (not max) from the Popsocket and shake it without it disconnecting from my phone."
• "I can finally use it again with an easy pop on and pop off when necessary! Love it!"
• "I love the fact that I can take this off whenever I want to use wireless charging."

Cons:

• "Now the wireless charging works okay."
• "And it messed up the wireless charging."
• "The product works great... Still, the adhesive base prevents the phone from charging wirelessly."
• "It’s very pretty and I get compliments on it. I purchased the sun and moon style. It’s got a metallic look to it."
• "I have an iPhone with a MagSafe clear case. I had been using popsockets and Pop grips for the longest time, and for this case I had got one popgrip that was much bigger."
• "The pop out on this product doesn't extend far enough, or have the the rigidness to act as a stand, very poor construction quality."
• "The points on the wings can be a little sharp at times but the biggest thing is it doesn't attach to the magsafe charger very well."
