2. Setup and Installation
The PopGrip utilizes an adhesive backing for secure attachment to your device or device case. For optimal adhesion and longevity, follow these installation steps carefully.
2.1 Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface where you intend to attach the PopGrip is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. The adhesive backing works best with smooth, hard, plastic cases. It is not compatible with silicone, leather, waterproof, or highly textured cases.
2.2 Attachment Procedure
- Clean the Surface: Use an alcohol wipe or a clean cloth to thoroughly clean the desired attachment area on your phone or case. Allow it to dry completely.
- Peel the Adhesive: Carefully peel off the protective film from the adhesive disc on the back of the PopGrip.
- Position the PopGrip: Align the PopGrip in the desired location on your device or case. Consider where it will be most comfortable for your grip and function as a stand.
- Apply Pressure: Once positioned, firmly press the PopGrip onto the surface for at least 15-30 seconds to ensure strong adhesion. Avoid repositioning immediately after initial application.

3. Operation
The PopGrip is designed for simple and intuitive use.
3.1 Extending and Collapsing
- To Extend: Gently pull the top disc of the PopGrip away from your device until it clicks into an extended position. This provides a secure grip for your fingers.
- To Collapse: Push the top disc back towards your device until it lies flat. This makes the PopGrip compact for storage or when placing your device in a pocket or bag.
3.2 Using as a Stand
Extend the PopGrip and position your device on a flat surface. The extended PopGrip acts as a convenient stand for hands-free viewing of videos, video calls, or browsing.

The PopGrip requires minimal maintenance. Keep the adhesive clean and avoid excessive force when extending or collapsing.
4.1 Swapping the Top
The printed top of your PopGrip is swappable with other compatible PopGrip models, allowing for customization.
- To Remove: Collapse the PopGrip flat. Gently press down and turn the top disc 90 degrees until you hear a click. The top can then be lifted off.
- To Attach: Align the new top with the base, press down, and turn 90 degrees until it clicks securely into place.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 PopGrip Not Sticking
- Check Surface Compatibility: Ensure your case or device surface is smooth, hard plastic. The adhesive will not stick to silicone, leather, waterproof, or highly textured cases.
- Clean Surface: Re-clean the surface thoroughly with an alcohol wipe and ensure it is completely dry before re-applying.
