Our universal phone holder is our most popular device holder thanks to its secure spring-loaded mechanism.

The XL Universal Phone Holder is compatible with phone setups ranging from 3.25" to 4" wide and up to 7/8" thick.

Our Universal and XL Universal phone holders secure your device with the help of a spring-loaded mechanism. One side of the holder expands open and allows you to slide your phone into position.
The holder then securely clamps down on both sides of your phone and keeps it in place.
There are 3 rubber grips on either side as well as where the Bulletpoint logo is to prevent any slippage over rough terrain or big bumps.
Since PopSockets install on the backside of the case, it adds additional thickness to the overall setup.

At 3.3" or 3.4", there is some overlap between our Universal and XL Universal phone holder.
We would recommend going with our XL Universal Phone Holder.
When inserting your phone, make sure to slide open the spring-loaded mechanism enough so that your phone doesn't make contact with the rubber grip on other side.
Repeated contact with the rubber grips on either side can cause them to wear down over time.
We do offer replacement rubber grips for both the Universal and XL Universal Phone Holder at a very affordable price if ever they become damaged. Replacement Rubber Grips

Our metal plate is required when using our DiabloM6 magnetic phone holder. This component provides a strong magnetic connection between your phone and the magnetic holder.
Before installing, clean the surface of your phone or phone case where the plate will be applied.
Next, peel back the adhesive covering and press the plate firmly on the mounting surface.
Allow a few hours for the adhesive to bond properly.
Yes, the metal plate is required to ensure a strong and secure magnetic connection. We do not recommend relying on the MagSafe magnet as it is not as strong and is more likely to lose its connection with our DiabloM6 magnetic mount.
