My hands are small, so I've been using a Pop Socket on the case since I bought my iPhone 8 to avoid dropping it. Having the Pop Socket built into the case is great! It works fine for gripping and for propping the phone up in landscape and in portrait orientation, although the portrait orientation isn't quite as stable as landscape (have to pull the Pop Socket out at an angle and it sometimes collapses). Also, this case fits better than my original OtterBox Symmetry case - the Volume and Sleep/Wake button covers line up much more precisely. I'm very happy with the case in terms of function - and I love the Blue Nebula design!
I have been thinking about getting a popsocket for a while, but heard that they were better when stuck to the phone itself rather than a case. When I heard about Otter+Pop, this was exactly the solution I wanted. The case is sturdy and the popsocket is comfortable.
