anyone else use these fantastic little things called Popsockets?!

They're a Colorado based company and make these things that makes it easy to hold your phone.

I've got one for my iPhone 7+ and makes holding it easy!

I recommend checking out phone loops. Just a band that goes on any case. My wife uses it on all her phones and I was never really interested. However I recently tried using it and was blown by the usability of the loop. Also loop doesn’t interfere with wireless charging.

My kids all have pop sockets and they are ok....well, they are a great idea but a few things I don’t like. Having to always open or close it. Not that it’s difficult but you have to do it. Wireless charging becomes awfully challenging with that thing in the middle.

I bought a phone loop as i have never heard of them before recently. I love the thing. Can use it if you want or not. No opening or closing it. Works well for wireless charging. Def more stable when using it.

Sold. As much as I enjoy making knockoff sockets for other people, I miss wireless charging. And the pulling out pushing in can be a drag. And I never get it positioned exactly where I want!

Still loving my pop socket. Don’t always use the clear case with it attached but I do more often than not

And got a magnet slapped on it for my car mount. It’s pretty great
 
that looks horrific. You couldn't pay me to add that to the back of my phone. Can you even use wireless charging with that atrocity on?
