The Best Phone Grips in Australia

Holding your phone one-handed shouldn’t mean constantly readjusting your fingers, and adding a grip shouldn’t make it awkward to pocket. Among the best phone grips here, we’d choose the PopSockets Low-Pro for an iPhone with a compatible case: its slim design and 4.53 out of 5 from 762 JB Hi-Fi reviews make it our strongest recommendation.

If you’re spending less, the PopSockets Swappable PopGrip is the cheapest pick. Prefer a ring or strap? The ESR, Spigen and CLCKR below are the PopSocket alternatives we’d consider for those needs.

1. Best overall for a compatible iPhone: PopSockets Low-Pro

If you want a steadier one-handed hold without adding much thickness, start with the PopSockets Low-Pro. PopSockets says it sits just 2.6 mm thick when closed, which should make it easier to accommodate in a pocket or bag.

The adjustable stand also gives you somewhere to prop the phone when you’d rather stop holding it. PopSockets lists both portrait and landscape viewing, so you’re not buying a grip that serves only one purpose.

Its JB Hi-Fi score is 4.53 out of 5 from 762 reviews. That’s a substantial number of ratings, and it’s why we’re comfortable putting it first.

The catch is compatibility. PopSockets specifies an iPhone 12 or newer with a MagSafe or Qi2 case, and doesn’t recommend it on bare iPhones or with its own MagSafe mounts. Check your setup before paying: this is an expensive grip compared with the budget PopGrip below.

Our verdict: Buy the Low-Pro if you have the right iPhone case and want a slim grip with a substantial owner rating behind it. We’d spend less if thickness isn’t a concern.

2. Best for Pokémon fans: Pokémon Mew Whimsy PopGrip MagSafe

You want a grip you’ll enjoy looking at, but it still needs to earn its place on your phone. The Pokémon Mew Whimsy PopGrip combines the Pokémon design with a top you can swap, rather than making you replace the whole grip to change its appearance.

PopSockets says you can detach it quickly for wireless charging. That suits someone who wants a magnetic grip during the day and is happy to remove it when charging.

There are 1,070 JB Hi-Fi reviews behind its 3.92 out of 5 score. Plenty of owners have rated it, but the score is lower than the Low-Pro’s. It also costs slightly more at Amazon Australia, so our take is straightforward: choose this for the design and swappable top, rather than as the default recommendation.

Our verdict: Choose this if Mew Whimsy is the design you want and your phone or case is compatible. For a slim grip without that preference, we’d buy the Low-Pro.

3. Best budget phone grip: PopSockets Swappable PopGrip

If you want help holding your phone without spending much, the PopSockets Swappable PopGrip is where we’d start. It’s the cheapest pick here, and PopSockets says its attachment is repositionable, giving you some flexibility to find a position that suits your hand.

Android Central recommends it as its best overall choice for durability, interchangeable tops and extensive design options. We found no independent owner rating at the retailers we check.

The limitation is in PopSockets’ wording: it sticks to most devices and cases. Don’t treat that as a promise for your particular case. Amazon Australia is the sole stockist in our supplied retailer data; check the warranty and returns terms before ordering.

Our verdict: This is our value choice if you want a basic grip and stand with an interchangeable top. Confirm case compatibility first; there’s little reason to pay for a magnetic model if you don’t need one.

4. Best strap grip for hands-free viewing: CLCKR Phone Grip and Expanding Stand

A ring isn’t everyone’s preferred way to hold a phone. If you’d rather slide your fingers into a strap, consider the CLCKR Phone Grip and Expanding Stand. CLCKR says the strap supports secure holding, while the expanding stand accommodates portrait and landscape viewing.

The Gadgeteer recommends it for its secure strap and stable portrait and landscape kickstand. We found no independent owner rating at the retailers we check.

CLCKR also states that it’s wireless charging compatible, which makes it worth considering if removing an accessory to charge sounds annoying. But placement matters: the company recommends applying it to a case and says the adhesive won’t attach directly to a matte or oleophobic phone back.

Only Amazon Australia stocks it in the retailer data supplied for this guide. Review the seller’s warranty coverage and return conditions, especially before committing to an adhesive accessory.

Our verdict: We’d choose the CLCKR if you prefer a strap and regularly prop your phone up. Skip direct attachment to a matte phone back and check that your case is suitable.

5. Best adjustable ring stand: ESR MagSafe Ring Holder

When propping up your phone matters as much as holding it, the ESR MagSafe Ring Holder is our ring-style choice. ESR’s dual-joint design lets you adjust the stand for portrait or landscape viewing, rather than choosing a grip solely for how it feels in your hand.

WIRED recommends its comfortable lining and dual joints for portrait and landscape viewing. We found no independent owner rating at the retailers we check.

ESR says the ring has a TPE lining for comfort. The inconvenience comes at charging time: the maker’s instructions call for removing the ring before attaching a wireless charger. We’d accept that for the adjustable stand, but it won’t suit you if you want the grip to stay attached throughout charging.

Amazon Australia is the only retailer listed as stocking this pick in our data. Check its warranty and returns arrangements before buying; ESR also lists a 12-month protection plan.

Our verdict: Buy the ESR if an adjustable ring stand is your priority and you don’t mind removing it to charge. We’d choose it over a simpler grip for regular hands-free viewing.

6. Best for larger fingers: Spigen Nano Pop

If small finger rings feel restrictive, put the Spigen Nano Pop on your shortlist. WIRED recommends it for larger fingers, citing its substantial ring and soft silicone surround.

Spigen describes the silicone ring as ergonomic and comfortable, and lists kickstand use alongside the grip function. Our take is that it’s a sensible lower-cost magnetic choice when finger comfort comes first: it costs less at Amazon Australia than the ESR and both magnetic PopSockets here.

We found no independent owner rating at the retailers we check. Compatibility needs checking too, particularly if your phone doesn’t fall within Spigen’s listed iPhone and case support. Our retailer data shows Amazon Australia as its sole stockist, so read the warranty terms and return policy before purchase.

Our verdict: The Nano Pop is the one we’d choose for larger fingers on a compatible setup. Buy it for the ring design and lower price, while recognising that we don’t have a retailer owner score to judge it by.

7. Best for switching grip positions: OhSnap! Snap 5

You might want to change how you hold your phone rather than keep a finger in one fixed position. The OhSnap! Snap 5 offers several grip positions according to OhSnap, making it the pick we’d consider for that preference.

OhSnap lists adhesive-free magnetic attachment and a 3 mm profile. Together, those should appeal if you want a removable grip that doesn’t add much thickness.

Where it falls short is the case for spending more. It’s the dearest pick here at Amazon Australia, and its 4.0 out of 5 JB Hi-Fi rating comes from just one review. One score isn’t enough to give it the same confidence as the Low-Pro, so we’d buy it only if those grip positions are something you specifically want.

Our verdict: Choose the Snap 5 for its different holding positions and adhesive-free design. If you don’t need that flexibility, the Low-Pro has a much stronger owner-rating record.

How we chose

These reviews are based on owner ratings and review counts, maker specifications, independent recommendations, and price and stock checks. We give substantial owner ratings more weight than isolated scores, then consider which design suits each need and what it costs. Independent recommendations support picks without retailer owner ratings. All seven were in stock at Amazon Australia when checked; none was selected on sales rank alone.

Phone grip buying guide

If one-handed holding is awkward, choose the grip style first

Decide whether you’d rather hold a pop-out grip, put a finger through a ring or slide your fingers into a strap. We’d settle that before choosing a colour or paying more for a stand.

For larger fingers, the Spigen has a specific independent recommendation. For someone who wants a strap, the CLCKR is the relevant choice here. Don’t assume the design that suits someone else’s hand will suit yours.

If your case is staying, check attachment compatibility

A grip needs to match the surface or magnetic setup you’re attaching it to. Read the exact model’s compatibility notes before ordering, including any case requirement or surface exclusion.

If the listing doesn’t cover your case, resolve that before buying. A lower price doesn’t help if the accessory won’t attach where you want it.

If you charge wirelessly, decide whether removal is acceptable

Check whether the maker specifies charging with the grip attached or removing it first. Magnetic attachment alone doesn’t answer that question.

If you don’t mind taking the grip off, a removable model can suit your routine. If you want to leave everything attached, look for an explicit charging-compatibility statement and check the conditions for your setup.

If you watch videos or join calls, give the stand more weight

Choose a stand that supports the viewing position you actually use. Portrait support matters for upright calls; landscape support matters for sideways viewing. Adjustable angles are worth paying for when you regularly move between different viewing positions.

If pocket space is tight, check the closed profile

Look at the thickness with the grip closed. That figure is more useful for carrying it than a broad claim that it’s slim.

Don’t pay extra for a thin model if your phone mostly travels in a roomy bag. Put the money towards the holding style or stand adjustment you’ll use.

If you’re worried about overspending, start with the budget pick

The adhesive PopGrip is our starting point for a straightforward grip and stand. Spend more when you have a specific reason, such as magnetic removal, an adjustable ring stand or a different holding position.

A phone grip isn’t a guarantee against drops. Choose a compatible attachment and follow the maker’s installation and use instructions.
