Then, just before the Rome and Athens trip, we found that there were new PopSockets that could connect to the new universal magnet system. I decided to get one and try it out for the trip, and I am so glad that I did. It has made holding my phone (which is a bit oversized as well) significantly easier. In particular, it helped me keep my grip when I was taking pictures, particularly selfies. Meanwhile, when I want to charge the phone or connect it to my in-car holder, I can just quickly pop it off and then just as easily pop it back on again when done.
I now understand why my children have liked using them so much.
