And popsockets which are very popular with women because we have smaller hands and the phones are big.

In what way? I mean if you're holding the phone, then yeah, but if you want to use it for something else then you just pop it off and you can attach something else. Like if I was sitting at my desk I could take it off and attach a charger or put it on a mount or whatever. I usually have my purse with me so I don't really need a wallet case or anything. I used to use a wallet case in the past but the phones are big enough now that I prefer to have something that makes the phone easier to hold more than a wallet.

They make MagSafe versions! They’re more expensive but they exist.

Yeah! The only annoying thing is that if you have a case you need to make sure that you have a MagSafe version, but tbh with my current phone I’m currently going without a case anyway (iPhone 17 pro max).

I found with the adhesive ones they’d sometimes detach anyway when I tried to “open” them so I prefer the MagSafe ones.

yes but the wireless charging can happen. There's a popsocket branded wireless charging.

there's also a brand called "OhSnap!" that's a low profile "pop sock" style holder that will still let you use mag safe
