PopSockets Phone Grip with Expanding Kickstand - Black

The PopSockets PopGrip measures 1.56 x 0.28 x 1.56 inches and weighs 0.317 ounces, in black polycarbonate.

At that size it sits on the back of a phone without adding bulk. Expanded, it gives a hold for single-handed use and reduces the chance of a drop. Collapsed flat, it doubles as a kickstand for propping the phone at an angle. The top section detaches and clicks off with a flat press and a 90 degree turn, so a different PopTop can go on in its place, or the top can come off entirely for wireless charging.

• Works with PopSockets cases, mounts and slides, plus most non-PopSockets cases
• Repositionable adhesive; sticks best to smooth hard plastic, not silicone, textured or soft cases

Applying the grip to a new phone takes a moment of prep: clean and dry the back surface first, then press the base firmly for thirty seconds and wait at least an hour before stretching the accordion fully. This patience pays off in a stronger long-term bond. If the adhesive loses its stick over time, it can be rinsed under warm water, allowed to air dry completely, and reapplied. When shopping among similar grip options, the swappable top is worth weighing against fixed designs, since it means the base investment on the phone stays in place while the functional top can change to a wallet, a mirror, a loop, or a plain cap. The flat profile when collapsed matters most for people who use pockets or slim bags regularly, as a grip that does not retract fully adds noticeable thickness.

In terms of who gets the most from it, people who shoot a lot of video benefit from the kickstand angle for hands-free recording, while commuters and delivery workers tend to value the one-handed grip most. It is worth noting that the grip works on flat phone backs more reliably than on curved glass edges, so placement toward the center rather than the corners or sides gives the adhesive the best surface contact and the most stable hold during use.
