PopSockets utilizes the new MagSafe functionality of the iPhone 12 with a handful of new accessories. The highlight of today is the PopGrip for MagSafe, which is a grip that is magnetically attached to MagSafe-compatible cases for iPhone 12.
For those unfamiliar, PopSockets and PopGrips are for many people an integral iPhone accessory. You simply attach one to the back of your iPhone, and you have a built-in handle that holds the device more easily. As iPhones got bigger and bigger, these accessories became more important accessories.
In total, PopSockets has announced five new categories of accessories for iPhone 12 users with MagSafe. First up is the PopGrip for MagSafe, which is magnetically attached to MagSafe-compatible cases for iPhone 12 devices.
In the past, PopGrips has largely used glue to attach to iPhones and cases, but this time PopSockets is working on the new MagSafe standard to significantly simplify the process of adding and removing PopGrips.
The PopGrip for MagSafe magnetically attaches to MagSafe-compatible cases for iPhone 12 devices and features a smooth rubber bottom and an interchangeable top. This grip is compatible with PopSockets PopMount 2 phones, including PopMount 2 for MagSafe.
Next up is the PopWallet + for MagSafe, which allows users to carry up to three cards on the back of their phone and have an integrated grip. Here’s how PopSockets describes the accessory:
The PopWallet + for MagSafe is magnetically attached to MagSafe-compatible cases for iPhone 12 devices. The integrated elastic sock allows users to access their cards without removing the wallet from their device, and the product includes a shield to protect credit cards from magnetic damage. The integrated grip rotates easily to suit the style or functionality.
PopSockets has also announced a new PopMount for MagSafe series, including the PopMount for MagSafe Multi-Surface and PopMount for MagSafe Car Vent. These solutions will be magnetically attached to the iPhone 12 and “give users the freedom to mount their devices at home and on the go.”
Finally, the company also unveiled a new PopGrip Slide Stretch, which features expanding arms that are mechanically attached to the sides of most phone cases, including most iPhone 12 cases. “Users can move this grip to the bottom of their devices to serve as a portrait stand and also to attach MagSafe accessories without removing the grip,” the company explains.
There’s also a version of the PopGrip Slide designed specifically for the iPhone 12 with Apple Silicone cases.
