Been using magsafe collapsible ring stands, but those are a bit thick and heavy.

Normal popsockets work fine and I feel like they will hold up way longer than these new ones

Lol, I was so confused by the title of this video at first. I get it now, and that’s a cool product, but I’m blind 😂 so I don’t need to prop up my phone to watch the screen hands-free.

Naaah, why would I need a 10-pack of these?! This is 40 for a single one?… 😂😂😂

I had one and it was nice. However it got kind of bent out of shape after a while and never went back down flat again after a while.

I have been using the oh-snap for a couple years. It is great so I have no need at the moment for anything else.

Come on Bridget, you know the Oh Snap grip is better and you know it. Pop socket is not reinventing the wheel here

I have never used any of those, but I can confirm they look weird. Now that I’m seeing that people liked the old big sockets, migh I’ll try somethin that is not bulky. And talking about bulky, Apple and Samsung should manufacture pants with big pockets to fit their smartphones.

The Low Pro grip looks similar to the OhSnap grip

This is not what I expect from “One more thing”, this is just product placement, and of a very uninteresting product at that, I hope this doesn’t stick and we get an actual episode next week.

I am a guy and don’t mind the traditional thick, accordion style popsockets. I have a collection of different grips to go with my iPhone wallpapers. I also like the fact that I can mount my iPhone on a popsocket holder in the car.

Gotta really drop that price down. 20-25$ would be the sweet point and people would be more inclined to buy them. ….

Is it thinner than oh-snap?

Not really something I need. Been using a phone for over a decade and no reason for this.

Price is ridiculous
