Low-Pro Grip is a phone accessory from PopSockets designed as a thinner alternative to the brand's original expandable grip. The MagSafe-compatible product measures 2.6 millimetres thick when collapsed and attaches magnetically to compatible iPhone cases without adhesive. Its design replaces the accordion-style mechanism used in previous PopSockets products with a single flexible polymer structure that expands and collapses in one motion. The accessory was developed from an early concept created by the company's founder before the original PopSocket design was introduced.
The grip incorporates a hinged outer metal ring that functions as an adjustable stand for both portrait and landscape viewing. MagSafe charging remains compatible through the accessory, although charging speeds may be reduced. Low-Pro Grip launches through Apple in six colors before expanding to additional retailers. The accessory is compatible with existing PopSockets mounts and works with MagSafe-compatible iPhone cases.
