We will explore how it enhances the usability of this handy mobile accessory and empowers you to fully enjoy its benefits. Have you found a one-handed grip option you like better than these? Name it in the comments!Įditors' note: This article was originally published on December 26, 2016, and has since been updated.In this article, we will delve into the mystery and unveil the purpose of the black piece that accompanies a Popsocket. Just keep in mind the design and depth of the grip and how it might affect any car mount you already own. You could probably rig up something - perhaps one of the various 3M Command hooks? - for the other products as well. And the Spigen ring, as noted, comes with something similar, so it's car-friendly right out of the box. However, LoveHandle offers an optional mounting clip (though, annoyingly, provides absolutely no information about where or how it can be used), while PopSockets sells the similar PopClip, which would allow your phone to mount to a dashboard. This precludes the use of just about every product here except the Ninja Loop, which is flat enough and thin enough that it doesn't interfere with the magnet. For example, I currently use a magnetic mount that requires a metal plate stuck to the back of my phone case.

One thing to keep in mind as you shop for a grip is how it will affect your car-mount situation. Patterns cost $12, and 'specials' run $16. Unfortunately, you can't buy just replacement loops it's the whole kit or nothing.Īs of this writing, the solid-color Ungrips sell for $10 each (around £8, AU$12). Ungrip comes in a variety of colors and patterns, and the loop is actually removable from the base, so you can change it out if you want a different look. What's more, Ungrip adds a bigger bump to the back of your phone, but doesn't afford the ring's kickstand capabilities. The downside is that you finger doesn't quite so easily work its way into the loop: It's harder to 'catch' by touch alone. It's not rigid like the ring and not as tight as the LoveHandle - and therefore a bit more comfortable than either of them. Kind of a cross between the Spigen ring and the LoveHandle, the Ungrip consists of a small plastic plate that attaches to the back of your phone and a fabric loop attached to that plate. This is the Ungrip, which provides a soft fabric loop into which you insert a finger.

But Amazon currently sells them for $15, a little more reasonable. The only real problem with the Ring is the price: $25 (converted to around £19, AU$32) when purchased directly from Spigen. The downside, of course, is that your phone won't lie completely flat when you set it down. (It comes with an adhesive hook-mount for that very purpose.) It also comes with a hook-mount so you can hang your phone on, say, your dashboard. Unlike the Ninja Loop, the ring doubles as a kickstand - nice for those who like to read or watch videos hands-free. The bottom line is the Spigen gives you an easier, safer one-handed grip for your phone.īut, wait, there's more. Just see the photo to instantly understand how it works. This is one of those picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words products, so I'm not going to bother with a lengthy description. No go? Prefer to keep your phone 'naked'? The Lazy-Hands sort of does as well, unless you're OK with Velcro stuck to the back of your phone.
