PopSockets has announced a new version of the Kick-Out Grip it launched last May with some added functionality. The Kick-Out PopWallet carries forward the same design as the original with a hinged pop-up grip that can be folded out to function as a stand for propping up a phone vertically or horizontally. The new version now features an integrated wallet with enough capacity for three credit cards or IDs.
The PopSockets Kick-Out PopWallet is available now in several different colors and patterns through the company’s online store and Best Buy for $49.99, which is $10 more expensive than the original Kick-Out Grip. Unlike PopSockets’ other wallet accessories that remain stuck to the back of your phone, the card holder on the Kick-Out PopWallet folds out along with the extending grip, potentially making it an even more versatile and stable support stand for your device when propped up in either orientation.
The magnetic accessory will be available in seven different color options: black, nightshade, opalescent white, painted gold, pressed flower, navy aluminum radial, and aura. Image: PopSockets
The Kick-Out PopWallet is compatible with all iPhones featuring Apple’s MagSafe feature and Android devices that support the Qi2 standard’s Magnetic Power Profile, including the Google Pixel 10 series smartphones. If your device doesn’t offer magnetic wireless charging, or your case is too thick for magnets to stick, you can opt for an adhesive metal ring that expands the Kick-Out PopWallet’s compatibility.
