The Five PopSockets Differ in Thickness, Stand Style and Swappable Tops
- Classic: the Phone Grip is the original expanding PopGrip on a removable magnetic base
- Slim: the Low-Pro Grip is 2.6mm thick and sits flat against the phone
- Stand: the Kick-Out Grip and Kick-Out Magnetic Base use a metal kick-out stand for portrait or wide viewing
- Swappable tops: the two magnetic bases are sold without a top, so you add your own PopTop
The PopSockets Phone Grip for MagSafe Is the Classic Expanding PopGrip, Now Removable
The PopSockets Phone Grip for MagSafe is the familiar expanding PopGrip on a magnetic base. It snaps onto a MagSafe case, comes off in seconds, and doubles as a stand for video.
Detach it and wireless charging works as normal. The range runs from plain Black and Clear to metal and enamel finishes, and the Radial and Alum designs do not sit well on silicone or textured cases. It suits anyone who wants the original PopSockets feel without a sticker on the case.
The PopSockets Low-Pro Grip for MagSafe Is 2.6mm Thin and Rated to Hold 30 Pounds
The PopSockets Low-Pro Grip for MagSafe sits flat against the phone at 2.6mm and slides into a pocket without a bulge. You press the outer edge of the button and slide inward to expand it, and the soft flexible grip is rated to hold up to 30 pounds.
A built-in kick-out stand adjusts to nearly any angle in portrait or wide orientation. Use it on a MagSafe or Qi2 case, since it is not meant for a bare iPhone. Pick it if the Phone Grip feels too tall in a pocket.
The PopSockets Kick-Out Grip With MagSafe Props the Phone at Multiple Angles With a Metal Stand
The PopSockets Kick-Out Grip with MagSafe pairs a PopGrip with a metal kick-out stand that props the phone in portrait or wide orientation. The stand holds multiple angles, which makes it a good fit for FaceTime calls and video.
The PopTop swaps by closing it, pressing, twisting 90 degrees and snapping on a new one. Skip it if your iPhone Duo case has a silicone or textured finish, because the magnet needs a smooth surface. It covers both jobs, grip and stand, in one piece.
The PopSockets Magnetic Base for PopTops Is a Base Only, So You Add Your Own Top
The PopSockets Magnetic Base for PopTops is a round magnetic base that attaches to a MagSafe case and holds any swappable PopTop. The top is sold separately, so this is for people who already own PopTops or want to change designs often.
You can slide the base off when you need to charge wirelessly. It needs a MagSafe case and will not hold on a non-MagSafe phone. It is the simplest way to start with swappable tops.
The PopSockets Kick-Out Magnetic Base for PopTops Adds the Stand and Leaves the Top to You
The PopSockets Kick-Out Magnetic Base for PopTops is a base with the kick-out stand built in, and it also ships without a top. Once a PopTop is on, it works as a grip and a stand for portrait or wide viewing.
It attaches to a MagSafe case and slides off for charging. Buy it if you already have a PopTop you like.

Soft or Textured iPhone Duo Cases Rule Out the Kick-Out Grip, and the Bases Need a Top
The Kick-Out Grip does not work on silicone or textured cases, and the metal and enamel Phone Grip designs have the same problem. If your case has a soft finish, the Low-Pro Grip and the plain Phone Grip are the safer picks.
The two magnetic bases ship without a PopTop, so the total cost depends on the top you add. Every one of these needs a case with the MagSafe ring, so check that before you order.
Our Take Is the Low-Pro Grip for Everyday Carry and the Kick-Out Grip for a Stand
If I were buying a PopSockets for the iPhone Duo, I would start with the Low-Pro Grip, because 2.6mm is the slimmest profile in the range and the grip still expands and props the phone up. For a stand I would choose the Kick-Out Grip with MagSafe. The plain Phone Grip is the one to buy for the classic expanding feel.
Questions About PopSockets for iPhone Duo
Do PopSockets work with the iPhone Duo?
Yes, because every one of the five attaches to a MagSafe case by magnet and the phone itself makes no difference.
Which PopSockets is the thinnest?
The Low-Pro Grip for MagSafe is 2.6mm thick.
Which PopSockets work as a stand?
The Kick-Out Grip, Low-Pro Grip and Kick-Out Magnetic Base all use a kick-out stand.
Can you charge the iPhone Duo wirelessly with a PopSockets attached?
Yes, once you pull the accessory off, which takes seconds on every magnetic grip and base.

Yes on the Kick-Out Grip: close the PopTop, press, twist 90 degrees and snap on a new one. The two magnetic bases ship without a top, so you choose your own.
