Keep in mind, PopSocket still sells its original single unit PopGrip. You won’t be able to swap out the design on these, which is why we recommend getting the ‘Swappable’ option (both cost the same). Look out for the labels when you buy. There are tonnes of PopTop designs to choose from. We’ve rounded up the best PopSocket styles and some of our favourites. For other accessories see our collection of best phone case round ups. We also have a round up of the best car mounts.
What better way to show off your personality than a nod to your favourite movie, show or character? PopSocket’s ‘Popculture’ collection has options ranging from Star Wars, to the Avengers, to Harry Potter and Stranger Things. See the full ‘Popculture’ collection in the UK (£15) and US ($15).
Here’s another style we love – the PopMinis. These come in a set of three and can be repositioned, though PopSocket warns that it may not stick to silicone or waterproof cases. We especially like the doughnut design called ‘Glazed and Confused’ (pictured, £15/ US$15). See the full Popminis collection in the UK and US.
This one’s for US shoppers only, but for a good cause. 50% of proceeds from the Poptivist range goes to a charitable cause and has already raised $292,401. The charity it goes to depends on the design you buy. There are many causes to choose from: Animals, Education, Health, International Aid and many more. If you don’t see the charity you support, you can request one to be added. While we wouldn’t call it activism per se, it does at least feel nice knowing you’ve contributed to an important cause.
The multi-surface mount for your PopSocket grip lets you attach your phone anywhere for hands-free use. There’s also a version for the car for £16/ US$15. Keep in mind these aren’t compatible with the PopMinis.
This clever design integrates a small mirror into the grip – perfect for on-the-go make-up touch ups (or equally, to check discretely if there’s something in your teeth). There are three designs to choose from, along with one plain black option, priced at £24.99/ US$20. We’s love to to see mirror options in the Popculture range as well – fingers crossed!
Here’s another clever attachment that instantly makes your phone case into a wallet case. The PopWallet fits up to 3 credit cards and 6 business cards depending on the thickness. You can buy the wallet sleeve on its own or with a PopGrip. The PopWallet is compatible with wireless charging, but you’ll have to take off the PopGrip. See the full PopWallet collection ( £24.99/ US$20)
Of course, if none of the existing designs suit you, you can always make your own. You can print anything except licensed images (like movie characters or logos). Images have to be at least 300 x 300 pixels in wither PNG or JPEG format. Head to PopSockets to customize your own PopGrip ( £16.99/ US$15).
