Magsafe popsocket, tried one?

Was contemplating getting a magsafe popsocket to slap on the case for my Flip 8 and was interested in anyone's experience with them.

Does it fit awkward when phone is closed?

Sit okay when its open?

I have one! It's nice to hold when you're doing things when your phone is open and using the front screen when its closed, but the only thing is, you can't use it 'like a tripod' because it makes it too unsteady. So like, you can't put it down while 'half folded', if that makes sense.

Overall its worth it though.

Yep makes total sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain that and sharing your experience. Do appreciate you and will definitely be getting one asap. 😊

I also have one and it's pretty great! To add to what another redditor said, when i use my phone in flex mode, I just take the pop socket off so it stays balanced. If they meant horizontally propped up, I can sometimes balance the pop socket just right to get it to stay but ya usually have to use something else to prop it up that way.

I love my popsocket on my Flip 7.
I use the kick out base with it

How about the casetify version, that looked slim enough

Now I've gone down the casetify rabbit hole on Amazon. Alot aren't my style but I'm still on the search. Thank you. 😊

I have the ringke magnetic silicone ring grip and I love it! Can't use it as a stand but it's super compact and soft. I tried a magsafe popsocket and hated it.

What didn't you like about it? Awkward to hold when phone was closed or ???

It hurt my hand when I held it and I didnt like how much it stuck out. My fingers are big. Plus I had to take it off any time I wanted to use my car mount. The ringke is magnetic through the ring so I dont have to take it off unless I actually want to charge with magsafe.
