May be a dumb question but who all uses popsockets?

[metllicamilitia]

I don't like that it is protruding so I don't use it. I don't mind having it though.

You could always buy the new Otterbox with built-in Pop Socket. It sits flush when put away.

Never mind, those don’t start selling until spring some time.

Popsockets ?

Popsockets ?

Yep. They’re all over the place.

I use pop sockets all the time AND I use wireless charging so now all the poppies I buy are the pop tops. The base stays attached but you can actually unlock the pop top off and set your phone on wireless charging or a phone holder in the car.

 

[Wotchered]

Yep. They’re all over the place.

But what are they for ?

But what are they for ?

Holding your phone.

Ohhh..kay so this lump sits in between your fingers or something. I have to say, the the false leg pink in the photo is a bit offputting but each to their own...

I’m not a fan of them myself either. They come in countless styles though including minimalist shades of different colors.

I am not a big fan of pop sockets. But my phone case does have a ring on the back of it and it’s work perfectly as a stan

I had ordered a few popsockets from China somewhere last January and I’m still waiting for them.
Luckily today there was a big event in the city and some people where selling buttons and other gadgets. To my surprise there was pop sockets too. I immediately got me a few

They’re amazing and I’m baffled that I haven’t bought them any sooner.

Still not a fan! But I do think they have their merit. Glad you found some to use @Tartarus! I'm actually intrigued by Speck's new Grab Tabs... Here's a link to the iMore article about them which was posted last week:

I think I'd like this product better because I could still use charge my phone on the qi (Chee) charger!

Believe it or not, I find my GF's pop socket very helpful to hold her X. Although it's hello kitty once you pop it out you can use it as a stand. It's kinda girly though and definitely not a boys thing.

I have thought about getting one several times, but I wireless charge and have my phone in either a lifeproof, or a defender. Dropping my phone isn’t as big of worry, but one handed use would be a lot nice with a pop socket. Think it just ultimately comes down to I prefer wireless charging over ease of holding my phone.

My sister uses one. I kind of get it, and it does double up as a stand, but I think it's more of a fashion accessory than anything.

 

[Speedygi]

Comparing these to rings, popsockets are so much safer as you don't potentially get your fingers caught in it and end up subjecting them to hard metal.

 

[scruffypig]

Don’t use a pop socket and have no plans to.

 

[Evilguppy]

There’s a built in one on my case: I never use it, but it may be because my phone is small, it’s just a X. With an XS Max, who knows?

 

[etad putta]

Pop sockets are awesome and I'm an old dude. Better grip and a kickstand. Whats not to like?

 

[Lee_Bo]

Switched to the Quadlock case/system so I don't use anything anymore.
