PopSockets just launched the Low-Pro Case, a new line of MagSafe iPhone cases and the first expansion of its Low-Pro line. The three-in-one MagSafe case supports wireless charging and also includes a collapsible Low-Pro Grip and a built-in phone stand.
Earlier this year (June 16, to be exact), PopSockets launched its Low-Pro Grip — a series of ultra-thin magnetic grips designed to lie flush against the back of your phone — exclusively in Apple stores. The Low-Pro Grip is just 2.6 mm when collapsed, and PopSockets says the launch received tons of positive feedback (most likely from people like me who can’t stand when things are even a little bit off). PopSockets founder David Barnet told Mashable the Low-Pro is the brand’s most popular new launch since the company’s earliest days.
So, naturally, the company is taking the concept further by embedding that same disappearing grip directly into a protective phone case. According to PopSockets, the new Low-Pro Case offers:
Mashable Light Speed
-
Integrated Low-Pro Grip
-
Adjustable stand for both portrait and landscape viewing
-
10-foot drop and 360-degree phone protection
-
Optimized for MagSafe cases
-
Wireless charging (meaning the phone charges wirelessly through the case and grip)
Here’s what the new case looks like in practice:

And here’s how it works: instead of snapping an accessory onto your existing phone case, this is a grip and case in one. It uses a flexible unibody design with a built-in grip that expands when you need to hold your phone, then collapses flat when you slide it into your pocket. It also has a metal ring that functions as a phone stand.
Launching Sept. 15 for $59.99, the new PopSockets Low-Pro Case is available for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max as well as the newly announced iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max (the Low-Pro Grip costs $39.99 on its own). For now, it comes in black and burgundy and is available for sale on Amazon, Best Buy, and the PopSockets website.
Our tech editor demoed the new case in person with Barnett and can confirm that the grip is “extraordinarily thin.” While it might feel a bit flimsy due to the ultra-thin, flexible parts, Barnett says they tested the grip and found it could support over 40 pounds. The company discovered this fact in a very scientific “Fanta test,” as you can see in this TikTok:
