Phone Grips, Rings and Stick-On Buttons: How to Choose

There are a lot of ways to make a phone easier to hold. Here is a quick, honest guide to the main categories — so you can pick what actually fits your habits.

Stick-on buttons

Expandable buttons are popular and comfortable to hold, but they usually attach with adhesive and can add a permanent bump to the back of your phone.

Finger rings

Rings give you a secure loop for your finger. Many are also adhesive, and the look can be polarizing.

Magnetic grips

A magnetic grip attaches to a MagSafe-compatible phone or case without adhesive, so it is easy to remove when you do not need it. Orbiton is a folding circular magnetic grip built around a steadier one-handed hold and a clean look when closed.

How to decide

• Do you want something removable, or are you fine with adhesive?
• Is your phone MagSafe-compatible?
• Do you care how it looks when you are not holding the phone?
