The MagSafe PopSocket is a magnetic grip and stand that snaps onto any MagSafe-compatible case, with no app or settings required. To use a MagSafe PopSocket on an Android, Samsung, Google Pixel, Kindle, or Legacy iPhone device, you attach the PopSockets Magnetic Adapter Ring to the device first.
Attaching the MagSafe PopSocket
- For MagSafe-compatible phones and cases: Align the PopSocket with the MagSafe area on the back of your case. The magnets will pull it into place with a snap-on attachment. No adhesive is involved, and no special iPhone settings menu is required.
- For Android, Samsung, Google Pixel, Kindle, and Legacy iPhone devices: Use the PopSockets Magnetic Adapter Ring. Apply the ring to the back of your device or case, then attach the MagSafe PopSocket magnetically to the ring.
Adjusting and positioning the grip
Once attached, you can rotate and swivel the PopSocket to find a comfortable grip angle. The grip also extends and retracts: gently pull it outward for a longer hold or push it back in for a shorter one. To reposition the PopSocket on the device, simply lift it off the magnetic surface and reattach it in a new spot. The MagSafe PopSocket has a collapsible accordion design that allows it to be used as a stand in both portrait and landscape orientations. No app-based positioning controls are documented.
Removing the MagSafe PopSocket
To detach the PopSocket, pull it away from the magnetic surface. If the PopSocket seems stuck during removal, try twisting it slightly while pulling to help loosen the adhesive. Because the attachment is magnetic, there is no adhesive residue to clean. The MagSafe PopSocket is reusable and can be reattached to another MagSafe-compatible surface. The removal process is the same whether you are using a MagSafe-compatible case or the Magnetic Adapter Ring.
