PopSocket has launched the new PopCase Kindle, a Kindle case that, for the first time ever, comes with a built-in MagSafe ring. What that means is users will now be able to attach and swap PopGrip accessories without resorting to any DIY modifications. You can buy the entire thing off the shelf for the first time.
Compatibility & Pricing
- The PopCase Kindle is available right now for only the base 11th-generation Kindle and the 12th-generation Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft models.
- Coming to its price, the case is right now selling for $40, with another $30 for the grips that are sold separately. There are various designs to choose from, which gives the option to mix and match as per your preference.
Design Highlights
- There are six stylish options to choose from – Clear, Black, Gingham, Aura, along with another two from a “Bookish” line that, as The Verge reported, have been inspired by BookTok aesthetics.
- The MagSafe ring is thoughtfully positioned in the lower third portion to allow for the right mix of balance and ergonomics. This should be especially helpful even during extended reading sessions or for those who experience wrist discomfort.
Practical Use & Perks
- Those who have reviewed the case have noted it is made of durable yet flexible plastic. This allows for solid protection for the back and sides of your Kindle. Then there is also a subtle front ridge to guard the display.
- The magnetic grip can function as a magnetic cover as it turns the Kindle on or off when attached or removed.
- The case, as Wired reported, has been particularly appreciated by users who suffer from wrist issues, with one user claiming the case and grip combo noticeably reduced thumb and wrist strain.
Why Readers Love It
Check with Kindle communities, and you’ll find fans who have used PopSockets to help prevent inadvertent drops while reading in bed. Needless to say, such PopSockets have so far been attached to existing cases using adhesives:
“I use one on my Paperwhite and love it. … it makes holding it so much more comfortable lol.”
“I enjoy it because it makes my kindle more comfortable to hold while reading in bed.” a Reddit user stated.
These real-world experiences illustrate how a purpose-built magnetic case can be a game-changer.
Final Word
PopCase Kindle is about merging functionality with flair. It offers ergonomic reading, snap-on grip convenience, and stylish expression wrapped into one neat package. For avid Kindle readers who have already attached PopSockets to their cases, or anyone craving a more secure one-handed hold, the PopCase Kindle can be a nice upgrade to look forward to.
