The PopSockets PopGrip is a collapsible phone grip and stand that attaches to the back of your phone or case, giving you a secure hold with just one hand. Built around the brand's signature accordion-style base, it expands outward to provide a comfortable grip point and collapses flat when not in use, sliding easily into pockets or bags without adding bulk. It works on almost any smartphone surface and pairs well with most phone cases, making it a versatile accessory for everyday carry. Beyond improving grip security, the PopGrip doubles as a kickstand, letting you prop your phone up horizontally or vertically for hands-free video calls, streaming, or scrolling through recipes in the kitchen. The swappable top design means the grip portion can be removed and replaced with different PopTops, so you are not locked into a single style forever if your taste changes or the surface wears down. The adhesive base uses a gel material that can be cleaned and reused multiple times, restoring tackiness when it starts to lose grip. Designed for people who scroll, snap photos, and text throughout the day, this PopGrip reduces accidental drops by giving fingers something substantial to hold onto rather than relying on a slick, flat phone back. It also makes one-handed selfies and video recording noticeably steadier. Whether you're commuting, working out, or just navigating a busy day, this small accessory addresses a real everyday annoyance with a simple mechanical solution rather than a subscription or app.

Customer reviews

No more butterfingers — Marcus T. (2024-02-14)
I used to drop my phone constantly, especially getting out of the car. This grip fixed that instantly. The kickstand feature is a nice bonus for watching videos at my desk.
Great grip, adhesive wore out eventually — Elena R. (2023-11-03)
Worked perfectly for about a year before the sticky base started losing hold. I washed it with water like the instructions say and it helped, but not as strong as day one.
Perfect for video calls — Devon K. (2024-01-20)
I prop my phone up using the grip as a stand during work calls all the time. Super sturdy and folds flat enough that my pocket doesn't feel weird.
Good but affects wireless charging — Priya S. (2023-12-11)
Love the grip itself but I have to peel it off every time I want to use my wireless charger, which gets old fast. Otherwise does its job well.
