The new MagSafe system for iPhone is a huge boon for PopGrips. A new collection of these pop-up phone handles can cling to the magnets built into the back of the latest Apple models, but also be easily detached.
PopSockets released PopGrip for MagSafe and PopWallet+ for MagSafe on Thursday, and these don’t have to be glued on. Or built into cases.
Apple created the MagSafe system for wireless power. It uses magnets to align the charging coils in an iPhone and the charger. But those same magnets can be used to attach other accessories, like these new options from PopSockets.
Two new PopGrips with MagSafe support
PopGrip for MagSafe ($30) is like any other PopGrip except it attaches to an iPhone with magnets. The pop-up handle provides a more secure grip for the phone, and can do double-duty as a stand to hold the iPhone screen up in landscape mode. Color options include in opal, nebula, gold lutz marble and black.
PopWallet+ for MagSafe ($30) adds a cushioned slot that holds up to three cards. Its color options include rose gold lutz marble, floral bohemian, deep periwinkle, blush pink and black.
Both products are compatible with PopMount stands and swappable PopTops. But they require the magnets built into the iPhone 12 series, so they don’t work with other handsets.
iPhone 12 users might also be interested in PopGrip Slide Stretch, an adjustable iPhone holder with MagSafe support.
