Grip-Integrated Phone Cases

OtterBox and PopSockets Came Together to Create the 'Otter + Pop' Case

As ideal as large-screen smartphone devices are for enhanced viewing experiences, the sheer size of some phones can be hard to comfortably handle—but this will no longer be a problem with the Otter + Pop Symmetry Series.

OtterBox teamed up with PopSocket to launch Otter + Pop, which integrates OtterBox's streamlined Symmetry case with a built-in PopGrip and even a swappable, retractable PopTop. Simultaneously providing protection and improving comfort, the stylish system has the potential to be endlessly customized to suit one's aesthetic preferences. For those who like to be coordinated, swappable PopTops will be made available to match the phone case colors.

When it is no longer needed, the built-in PopGrip may be collapsed to sit flush with the back of the case.
