PopSockets Phone Grip Compatible with MagSafe

PopSockets Phone Grip Compatible with MagSafe.

Amazon

PopSockets are small attachments that can easily be stuck to your phone or phone case to act as a smartphone grip or stand.

You can flatten them out when not in use and pop the accordion-style socket out when you want to use it as a stand or grip.

Accessories on the back of your iPhone or phone case can interfere with wireless MagSafe charging. However, this MagSafe-compatible PopSockets phone grip is made with built-in magnets instead of adhesive and can quickly be snapped on and off for wireless charging.

If you want to know where your stuff is at all times, adding an Apple AirTag is a great way to do it. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, you can look up where your tags are.

If they’re attached to something or hidden in something – like your luggage or backpack – you’ll know where that is, too.

These little devices can be purchased individually, but you save a lot by going for the multi-pack. Their replaceable battery lasts up to a year.
