A small phone accessory that improves grip and doubles as a hands-free stand for phones and tablets. Better hold and a stable viewing angle make single-handed use and video watching less fiddly and more secure. Does PopSockets PopGrip Basic stick reliably to everyday cases and suit regular use?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Grip Strength: Firm hold that reduces drop risk and supports one-handed control
  • Best for: Anyone who wants safer single-handed use and hands-free viewing
  • Not ideal for: Owners of silicone or waterproof cases where the adhesive will not bond

PopGrip Basic has a non-removable PopTop and uses a single-use adhesive. The extendable grip collapses flat for storage and is compatible with previously sold PopMounts.


Safer One-Handed Use – thanks to extendable base and firm adhesive

Extendable base and grip expand to create an anchor point, while the adhesive forms a one-time bond to hard, smooth surfaces. The PopTop is not removable or replaceable.

Improves confidence when holding larger phones, reducing the chance of accidental drops and making selfies and one-handed typing easier.

Stable Hands-Free Viewing – with collapsible stand function

When extended, the grip acts as a prop to hold a phone upright on flat surfaces and collapses flat when not needed. The mechanism locks into place for viewing use.

Useful for watching videos or video calls without propping the device awkwardly, and folds away neatly for pocket storage.

Reliable Attachment and Mount Compatibility – thanks to single-use adhesive and PopMount support

Adhesive is designed to stick once and cannot be repositioned, so correct placement is important. Compatible with previously sold PopSockets PopMounts for hands-free mounting.

Provides a secure, long-lasting stick on compatible cases and straightforward hands-free mounting around the home or office.
