iPhone Duo Best Phone Grips: OhSnap vs PopSockets

Quick summary: I tried a handful of grips on the iPhone Duo, using cases from Tongate and Mobosi. The OhSnap SnapGrip Stand is still my favorite: it rotates, works as a kickstand in any orientation and charges wirelessly. On the Duo, though, it sits very close to the bottom edge, so place it carefully. The slim grips are great if you don’t need a kickstand.

Key takeaways

• OhSnap SnapGrip Stand: my favorite. It rotates, stands in any orientation, is slim, comfy and wireless-charging friendly.
• On the Duo, it fits almost too perfectly. It comes close to the bottom edge without touching.
• PopSockets Suck-Up: sticks to tables and glass. It’s a novelty for most people.
• PopSockets Kick-Out: a magnetic grip with a built-in kickstand.
• If you don’t care about a kickstand, a slim grip is the easiest to live with.
• The slim options let you charge right through them.

The cases

To mount grips, I used iPhone Duo cases from Tongate and Mobosi.

PopSockets Suck-Up and Kick-Out

The PopSockets Suck-Up sticks to surfaces like a table or glass. It’s a neat trick, but it’s not something I’d use much.

The PopSockets Kick-Out attaches magnetically and holds well in the hand. It also has a kickstand, so you can stand the phone up in nearly any orientation.

OhSnap SnapGrip Stand: my favorite

This is the grip I use on all my phones. The kickstand is amazing: it rotates and stands your phone up horizontally or vertically. It’s slim, comfortable to hold and easy to use, and you can wirelessly charge right through it.

On the iPhone Duo, mount it the correct way. It fits, but it sits very close to the bottom edge. It doesn’t hit anything, but it’s an almost scary-perfect fit. Mounting it closer to the middle is a bit more comfortable and gives more clearance.

Slim grips without a great kickstand

If you don’t care about the kickstand, a slim, comfortable grip that charges through is the easy pick. For something sturdier, I’d go with one of the stand-style grips. My pick is a bit more comfortable to hold and has a slightly sturdier stand. Both styles are super slim and let you charge through them.

Which one?

It depends on what you want. For the best all-around grip on a Duo, it’s the OhSnap SnapGrip Stand, just mind the bottom edge. The PopSockets Low-Pro Grip is another slim option to consider.
