MagSafe Popsocket *Round* changes the PopSocket game

I have used the pill shaped Popsocket for the life of my 14 Pro and can’t live without it now. I had no idea they had released a round one. Ordered and can’t wait to use it.
There’s a round one? Huh, that explains why I was able to get the bigger oval one on sale. I am enjoying it, even though I didn’t expect to
It’s pretty new afaik
No that’s only if you dont have a MagSafe iPhone (or I guess theoretically an iPhone with MagSafe but not a MagSafe compatible case)
This requires a case to work, yeah? I have the pill shaped model and it adds way too much bulk with a case. I could probably swing keeping a Pro Max over the Pro if I could use this popsocket without a case to add even more footprint.
I'm getting 1 from Sinjimoru ... it's like close to 50% cheaper0.7 oz instead of 1.0 oz for the regular MagSafe pop socket, and I can feel a lot more of the case instead of that long bottom chin
Magnet feels as strong if not stronger
If your phone has MagSafe, no case needed. That’s how I am using it with iPhone 15 Pro
That’s interesting. Does it hold securely, without your hand supporting the phone as well? At any angle? I have absolute faith in the original popsocket adhesive - I have one stuck on a TPU case and I can’t budge it even if I try! But I worry the magnet would choose the worst possible moment to fail…
The magnet is quite strong. It takes a great deal of force to remove it. It has never fallen off and I completely trust it won’t. I trust the magnet more than I trusted the adhesive one I had for older phones years ago.
Thank you both! That’s very helpful to know. I will try to get hold of one. I always plug in to charge so I don’t actually need to remove the pop socket, but this opens up various possibilities, including silicone cases and no case.
agreed, my initial thought was at least as strong but no its definitely stronger
not that I ever really had an issue with the original pill shaped one in that regard, but stronger is good
Yeah I plug my phone in as well to charge. What’s cool about having the popsocket on while charging is that you can use the phone in stand by mode. Just prop it up on its side. I have been going without a case lately and having the popsocket on gives me more confidence that I won’t drop the phone.
Received my Popsocket today and it’ll help me avoid grooves from resting the 15 PM on my pinky finger.
