The new PopSockets grip is so thin you’ll forget it’s even there

PopSockets launched its PopGrip Slim on March 18, 2024, a significantly thinner version of its popular magnetic phone grip. This new design aims to address user feedback regarding the bulkiness of previous models, offering a more streamlined aesthetic and feel. The PopGrip Slim measures just 3.7mm in thickness, a reduction of over 50% compared to the standard PopGrip which is 8.5mm thick. This slim profile is intended to make the grip less obtrusive when the phone is placed on a surface or stored in a pocket. The company stated that the development of the PopGrip Slim was a direct response to consumer demand for a less prominent accessory. Early comparisons suggest it competes with other slim grip options like the OhSnap Snap Grip, which was previously a recommended alternative for users seeking a thinner profile. The PopGrip Slim maintains the core functionality of allowing users to hold their phones more securely and use them as a stand, while prioritizing a minimalist design.
