PopSockets earns largely positive reviews for making phones easier to grip, prop, and use—especially the MagSafe and PopWallet options—while customizable designs and sturdy hold stand out. Reviews also flag durability inconsistencies, adhesive wear, bulk that hinders pockets and car mounts, occasional wireless-charging interference, and mixed experiences with wallets and long-term reliability.

  • PopSocket is a great accessory for improving grip and functionality on your phone. It sticks well and offers a customizable design, which I love. It also works perfectly as a stand for hands-free viewing. The only downside is that over time, the adhesive can lose its stickiness, especially if you move it around too much. Still, it's a handy and practical product overall that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

  • Love this brand! Once I discovered them, I never looked back. I always buy from them and replace my pop socket if it gets damaged. But they last a long time like years

  • They make holding your phone so much easier, but getting your phone in pockets once it’s applied becomes more difficult.

  • These and phone wallets used to be all the rage, and not necessarily without reason. I liked having the extra security to hold my phone. I just don't use them anymore.

    Adhesive on the back was sometimes hard to remove from my phone case.

  • boy me and my popsocket wallet against the world from 2020-2023 until i got my phone stolen and then bam there went my id and my cards along with it. then i decided it was time to mature and learn how to hold my big ahhh phone with no popsocket but i will always love you

  • Sometimes fall off, but mostly stick on unless you're putting your phone in crazy situations. Functional and cute!

  • My popsocket wallet is one of my favorite things that I own! It allows me to keep my wallet essentials with my phone and for me to hold my phone comfortable!

  • I have the adjustable sliding pop socket, so that I can move it to use wireless charging without removing my case, and it's great for that. Only problem is that I've had it for a few months now and it seems to have loosened because now it slowly slides up while I'm holding my phone and ends up sitting over the lock button, which is a bit annoying.

  • Every time I purchase a new phone the first thing I do is get a corresponding popwallet+. I rely on the popwallet+ to hold all my daily cards and for the popsocket for easy grip. My popwallet+ has been able to hold my ID, up to three cards, and my metro card as well. I also love how I can remove the wallet and popsocket attachment if I want a slimmer profile when I'm out for a run.

  • I resisted buying one of these forever. I finally broke down and gave it a try - my fingers were cramping from holding the phone and stretching over to text or play. I can't hold my phone without it now.

  • I like using a Pop Socket as an option to stand my phone up when I want to be able to view something without holding it. However, I think some other brands, such as Loopy, offer a more practical way to hold your phone without fear of dropping it.

  • Let popsockets be trendy again! I think they are so useful and allow you to hang on to your phone a lot better when walking around. Plus, they are just so nostalgic. My grandma even loves hers and it helps her hold her phone!

  • got one of these at a conference for a gaming company and used it for quite awhile until the new iphone 14 came out eith the magnet. i'm sure they have new ones with magnet built in but im not sure. great way to prop of the phone and watch something while working and whatnot

  • I cannot for the life of me understand the hype around PopSockets which makes me feel like I'm old lol. But my nieces and nephews are obsessed so there must be something cool about them. Personally I took mine off because it was annoying.

  • I have had my custom pop socket on my phone for years now and I’ve switched it from multiple phones it’s faded a bit around the edges but i still love it and couldn’t live without it it makes my phone so much easier to use

  • I love the popwallet. It keeps my cards safe and it is an easy way for me to carry my cards, no need for a wallet.

  • I love popsockets! As someone who is clumsy, popsockets definitely saved my phone from many being dropped many times. I also love all the cool designs they have!!

  • I'm obsessed with pop sockets and specifically the pop wallet. It's my only wallet. However, they recently started to only make the magnet versions and that's not supported by my phone. It's kind of sad because I can't buy new ones anymore just old versions off amazon.

  • I don't drop my phone often. I generally have a vice-grip on it because I hate the idea of breaking something I spent a lot of money on. PopSockets definitely helped me not have that anxiety. Also really good for having a comfortable grip on my phone.
