FAQs
Can I put the PopSockets Darth Vader Grip on my iPhone 12 Pro Max?
The grip will not stick directly to an iPhone 12 Pro Max without a suitable case. It adheres best to smooth, hard plastic cases. For MagSafe compatibility with iPhone 12 cases, you may need a specific PopSockets accessory.
How do I remove and reapply the PopSockets grip?
To remove, pull up slowly and carefully on the edge of the base. To reapply, ensure the surface is clean and dry, rinse the adhesive with water, let it air dry completely, and press firmly.
What does 'swappable top' mean?
It means you can easily remove the decorative top of the grip and replace it with another PopTop for a different look or functionality, such as a wireless charging compatible top.
Will the Darth Vader design fade over time?
PopSockets designs are generally durable for everyday use. However, prolonged exposure to harsh elements or abrasive cleaning could affect the longevity of the design.
Can I use it to mount my phone in my car?
Yes, the PopSockets grip is compatible with PopSockets car mounts. Simply attach the mount to your car's dashboard or vent, and snap your PopGrip into it.
Is it safe to put on a case that is not made of plastic?
The grip adheres best to smooth, hard plastic. It may not stick well or at all to silicone, leather, fabric, or textured surfaces. Always test adhesion carefully.
Troubleshooting
Grip not sticking securely
Ensure the phone/case surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Avoid silicone or waterproof cases. If the adhesive feels weak, rinse it with water, let it air dry completely, and reapply.
Difficulty swapping the top
Close the grip flat first. Then, press down firmly and twist 90 degrees. Ensure you are twisting in the correct direction.
Phone feels unbalanced when grip is extended
Adjust the placement of the grip on the back of your phone to find a more stable center of gravity for your grip.
Wireless charging not working
Ensure the PopGrip top is fully removed before placing the phone on a wireless charger. Verify that your phone and charger are compatible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: To apply the PopSockets Darth Vader Grip, ensure the back of your phone or case is clean, dry, and smooth. Peel off the adhesive backing, align the grip with your desired placement, and press firmly for 30 seconds. Allow 1 hour before use for maximum adhesion.
Compatibility: This grip is universally compatible with most smartphones and tablets, adhering best to smooth, hard plastic surfaces. It may not stick to silicone, leather, fabric, or waterproof materials. For iPhone 12 models without a suitable case, it will not adhere to the Pro or Pro Max versions. It is not directly compatible with Apple MagSafe chargers or wallets; for MagSafe compatibility, consider specific PopSockets accessories like the Slide Stretch.
Care: To clean the grip, simply close it flat and wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. If the adhesive loses its stickiness, you can rinse the adhesive pad with water (do not use soap) and allow it to air dry completely before reapplication. Swapping tops involves closing the grip flat, pressing down, and twisting 90 degrees.
