Minimal transparent case that allows Popsockets to stick to it

[Dualmonitors]

Dear All:

for my upcoming S24 Ultra, i'd like to find a minimal transparent case that allows Popsockets to stick to the back.

currently, i'm using a Ringke AIR case for my S23 Ultra and a Popsocket sticking to its back.

However, Ringke is not making an AIR case for the S24 Ultra!

i was told that the Ringke FUSION (clear color) is thicker/bulkier than the Ringke AIR.

Ringke FUSION (clear):

Amazon.com

there is also the Spigen Liquid Crystal Crystal Clear option, but i haven't held it yet.

Spigen Liquid Crystal Clear:

Amazon.com

may i please ask for advice/suggestions please?

again, the goal is a minimal, clear case that allows for a Popsocket to stick to the back. i must have a Popsocket due to a hand injury.

thank you!

Does it have to be a Popsocket? Samsung's own 'accessory' case fits the bill, but uses magnetic accessories, and the one it comes with is a Popsocket-like attachment. Maybe that'll work?

@SpookDroid:

thank you for your suggestion!

samsung.com really does a terrible job on their product listing on this particular item to inform what this item consists of! for example, it doesn't say where you can buy the popsocket-like attachment, and whether or not it comes with one of those pop out "buttons"!?!

furthermore, none of the pictures show the "button" popping out just like a popsocket. strange. i don't know what they include and how the pop out button functions and how it is similar or different from a regular popsocket!

may i ask the good folks here what they know about the two options i linked to in my original post please? maybe someone has them previously?

i want a minimal case just so the Popsocket can attach (stick to) the phone! current phones don't really allow popsockets to stick to the phone's backside!

thank you.

I've got a fusion bold showing up today. If you just want to know if a popsocket will stick to it I can probably arrange that.

Snap 4 Luxe

Snap 4 Luxe matches the look and feel of your expensive a$$ phone with a sleek aluminum trim. It’s thinner than your camera bumps so you won’t snag it on your pockets and it's magnetic so you can mount it to most metal surfaces. Slide it open with one hand for a super comfortable grip or lock it...

ohsnap.com

Oh man, sorry for that crazy long link, but this is interesting.

It's a mag-safe pop socket that appears to work either directly on back of phone or case, but being a mag-safe magnetic ring and folding in with such a low profile had caught my attention.

I use this on the back of my S23 Ultra. It is the best because when I need it, it is there, and when it is not in use, it doesn't stop me from wireless charging via my Samsung charger or magsafe attachment in my car.

To use words like "innit" and "blud" and not have a UK store is some proper mad cultural appropriation, innit blud?

Thanks for sharing. It's always better to hear first person from Android users who have tested a product and had success.

I haven't used popsockets in the past but this one is so slim I like that it's basically a mag-safe magnet with a bonus feature.

Oops, S24 Ultra has issues with magsafe+S-pen, according to this:

Galaxy S24 Ultra skipped Qi2, and now MagSafe accessories seem to break the S Pen too [U]

According to early findings, MagSafe-style cases seem to break the S Pen on Samsung's new Galaxy S24 Ultra.

If i can get casemate to send one... I will make a video testing it out.

It says only with accessories attached.

Remove accessory, BAM no issue

Indeed, that's what I do. May not be an option for Dual with their messed up paw though.

I miss their previous version. The ohnap 2

i have a feeling that this Spigen Liquid Crystal case might be the most minimal case i can get to get the job one that has a surface that Popsockets can adhere to:

Amazon.com

reason: it is entirely made of TPU so it is a flexible, slightly soft touch material, i.e. not a hard plastic or polycarbonite. it has a moderate amount of drop protection, but of course, nothing like the bulky so-called "armored" cases can protect. i just can't have a bulky case because these giant phones simply won't fit into my jeans pocket!

do you guys know this case linked to above? good/bad experience?

That looks cool! I'd like to try that.

I'll see how I like it. I got a Spigen clear case for my S22 Ultra and liked it.

i second this over a popsocket any day. been using these for a couple of years now, no issues. even bought the new version to use on whatever case i get when i finally get my S24U. the new version is better than the previous, the magnets hold it in very well, and with the new design, you can use 2 fingers like the old style or 1 finger in the center now. and it works very well with magsafe chargers, i have one at home and on a car mount and no issues
