Worked OK for a few days, but then the adhesive failed, and the PopSocket fell off my phone, dropping the phone to the ground. I heard they recently changed the adhesive formula, so maybe that's it? Anyway, I like the comfort of the grip being soft, but with an unreliable adhesive, I can't recommend this since attaching the grip to the phone is the #1 most important priority for this to even be usable. I tried switching to another ring grip brand, and its adhesive is already lasting longer (over a week now). I'd suggest to PopSocket to put more resources into a reliable adhesive.
Love the Backspin Peppermint on my Xmas case but it was so hard to remove off the base it came on that I broke the bottom off and had to use needlenose pliers to put it back together. Now it’s on a MagSafe base that I’ve been trying for over an hour to get off. They say to squeeze sides to remove but that is way easier written than done. If you want a permanent popsocket these are fun. I would call them very barely swappable or only if you’re lucky, I haven’t been.
Love the quality, and just so happens to match my blue phone nicely! The included package to return old Popsocket merch for recycling was an awesome surprise that I definitely took advantage of.
