PopSockets is launching a new version of its MagSafe grip that can be used to prop a phone up vertically for scrolling TikTok or video calls. The PopSockets Kick-Out Grip and Stand is less than a millimeter thicker than the company’s current lineup of MagSafe PopGrips, according to the company’s founder, David Barnett, but introduces a hinge so the pop-up grip can now fold out and double as a support stand.
The Kick-Out Grip and Stand is available starting today through the PopSockets online store for $39.99 in colors that include black, dusk, putty, and latte. It’s also available through Best Buy’s website and retail locations which offer two exclusive color options: French navy and silver, both featuring a shiny metal finish. If those colors don’t work for you, as with previous iterations of the PopSockets, the collapsible grip on the new Kick-Out can be removed with a twist and replaced with alternates in different colors or designs.
PopSocket’s new grip is thicker than competitor’s products like the OhSnap Snap 4 and it needs to be completely removed if you want to use a wireless charger. But the Kick-Out is more comfortable to hold than the Snap 4, can be personalized, and offers more functionality.
PopSockets eventually simplified the design of its products as consumers embraced them as a more secure way to hold their phones that continue to grow larger and heavier, with one hand. To date, the company has sold over 285 million of the grips, and while their success may seem like a fortunate accident, the latest version brings a useful improvement that PopSockets has been working on perfecting for several years. “Our products are all designed to bring joy to daily phone life by eliminating pain points. I think this one hits the mark,” says Barnett.
