PopSockets has a proposition: what if you could swap out the grip on your phone (which may or may not contain lip balm<\/a> or a multitool<\/a>) and stick on a battery bank with an integrated cable whenever you need to charge your phone and keep a solid grip on it? That seems to be the idea behind its new PopGrip JumpStart<\/a>, a 2,200mAh battery (we\u2019ll get to that number in a moment) that mounts onto the standard PopSocket mount and charges your phone with a pop-out USB-C<\/a> or Lightning cable (via Gizmodo<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a clever idea, to be sure, but I have some… concerns. Standard PopSockets are comfy to use because they seem to be just the right size and shape. As you may have already guessed, though, the JumpStart is quite a bit bigger, given that it\u2019s an entire battery bank and cable instead of a plastic circle. To put it bluntly, it seems quite uncomfortable to hold.<\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

Given the size, you probably won\u2019t want to use this as your grip all the time.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: Popsockets<\/cite><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Thankfully, it\u2019s meant to be swappable \u2014 you can attach and detach it from your phone by twisting it onto a PopMount 2. If you\u2019ve got a Grip with a swappable top that either attaches to your phone with adhesive or one of PopSockets\u2019 sliding bands, you should be able to just twist the JumpStart on when your phone is running low on power. To charge the JumpStart\u2019s battery itself, you use the USB-C port at the bottom (and if you plug it into your phone, it can pass through the charge, which is nice to see).<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for fans of MagSafe<\/a> (warning: link contains karate), PopSockets says that the JumpStart isn\u2019t compatible with the MagSafe Grip Base. It\u2019s also not compatible with Otterbox\u2019s Symmetry or Defender cases with built-in PopSockets. Coming back to MagSafe, though, it does raise the question of why this accessory doesn\u2019t just use Qi charging \u2014 it\u2019d certainly be more convenient for PopSockets if it didn\u2019t have to make USB-C and Lightning versions.<\/p>\n

The likely culprit is distance \u2014 between the mount to the phone and the case PopSockets wants you to have this mounted to (the site says that the \u201cGel does not stick \u2018as well\u2019 with naked iPhones\u201d), it seems like it\u2019d be hard to guarantee that wireless charging would be efficient or even possible. The company put a PopSocket-sized hole in a wireless charger<\/a> to let its customers get in on wireless charging, which seems impractical for a mobile accessory. Still, it\u2019s a shame that MagSafe can support a PopSocket or a wireless charging pack<\/a>, but not the two combined. <\/p>\n

Speaking of the MagSafe charging pack, there is one important note about battery capacity when it comes to the JumpStart \u2014 as we mentioned in our review of Apple\u2019s snap-on battery<\/a> (which is similar to the JumpStart in some ways but isn\u2019t very PopSocket-friendly), the milliamp-hour number by itself doesn\u2019t tell the whole story. PopSockets estimates it\u2019ll boost your phone by 50 percent, though that seems dependent on which model of phone you have.<\/p>\n

I do, however, gotta hand it to PopSockets for making this product; I can see people devoted to living the PopSockets lifestyle getting some use out of this. I just pray that their fingers don\u2019t cramp while they\u2019re charging their phones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
