🛠 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your PopGrip
If you ordered the pre-installed version — you're golden. Otherwise:
- Remove your swappable PopGrip from its adhesive base.
- Make sure it's clean and free of gunk or old tape.
Step 2: Lock PopGrip into the Adapter
- Align the two notches on the PopGrip base with the grooves in the adapter.
- Press straight down on the PopGrip top.
- Twist clockwise until you hear/feel it click into place.

Step 3: Mount the Adapter to Your Case
- Pop the adapter into your QuadLock or Rokform mount just like any official accessory.
- You're now free to grip phone like a boss.
🔁 Reinstalling the PopGrip Base (If It Pops Out)
If the swappable base separates from the collapsible section, follow this WikiHow guide on fixing PopSockets.
👀 If It's Not Locking In…
- Check for debris: clean the adapter and PopGrip base.
- Try another PopGrip: some older grips wear out or don't lock properly.
- Still loose? Use a small strip of painter's tape around your case's mounting point to tighten things up.
💡 Pro Tips
- Don't force the twist — the grip should click in smoothly.
- Want to swap PopGrips often? Keep a spare mounted on a PopGrip coupler (sold separately).
