The Verge published a hands-on piece on Saturday, August 15, 2026, in which its writer described a magnetic phone grip as the first such accessory they would never want to remove. The review, which appeared on The Verge’s site, focused on the grip’s everyday usability and the writer’s personal attachment to it.
According to The Verge, the grip’s magnetic design made it easy to attach and detach, but the writer found no reason to take it off once it was in place. The review did not specify the brand or model of the grip, nor did it include pricing or availability details. The Verge’s coverage centered on the writer’s experience rather than technical specifications.
The piece adds to a growing category of phone accessories that rely on magnets, which have become more common as smartphone makers adopt magnetic mounting standards. The Verge’s take suggests that, for at least one user, the convenience of a permanently attached grip outweighs any drawbacks. The writer’s enthusiasm was clear, but the review offered no comparative testing against other grips on the market.
What to watch next: Whether other reviewers echo this sentiment or find reasons to remove such grips during daily use, and whether the specific product gains wider attention after The Verge’s endorsement.
