This $10 accessory has completely transformed my Pixel 10

One of my favorite things Pixel 10 Pro It’s Pixelsnap. Having magnets on the back rather than relying on cases is perfect for how I use my phone. From magnets, I can attach the Pixel to wall mounts, chargers, battery packs, and more. I use it to post.

Recently, I bought something that I didn’t expect to like, and it turned out to be my favorite Pixel 10 accessory.

My wife uses PopSockets with her phone, and when I tried her magnetic PopSocket, I was surprised at how comfortable the Pixel 10 Pro held. I wasn’t a fan of how big it was though. It felt big in my pocket and I wasn’t a fan of the look either. When I went to Amazon to find something that better suited my needs, I came across “Magnetic Phone Ring Holder” by Bordsek.

The first thing I love about the ring is that it’s not nearly as thick as the Pixel’s camera bar when folded into the phone. It doesn’t shake the phone on the table, and I don’t feel it when the Pixel is in my pocket.

With the ring removed, it serves its primary purpose well—I can hold the 10 Pro in one hand without worrying about dropping it. The magnetic connection is strong and the rubberized surface doesn’t scratch my phone, even though I often rotate the ring to reposition it. Changing the position of the ring is something I do regularly because of the other function it provides.

This phone holder is the most comfortable phone holder I have ever used. I have cases with built-in kickstands, but they never adjust enough and often only hold the phone in landscape rather than portrait. A ring with two hinges with no gap inside makes it easy to lift the Pixel at any angle or orientation I want. I can’t overstate how sturdy these hinges are – even my Z Fold 7 can be lifted, folded or unfolded on the dbrand Grip.

By holding the phone in portrait mode in landscape while listening to music or watching YouTube at my desk, this ring has replaced the custom phone stands I have around the house. The small segment of the ring, the part you slide your finger through, is magnetic and has enough weight that it can hold the phone even with everything extended.

I’m spending this week on the south west coast of the UK and the ring has come in handy here too. Since the wind was disappointingly high, trying to steady the phone while taking pictures, especially telephoto shots, would have been difficult if I hadn’t been able to stabilize it with a ring. I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, but I’m hoping to use it to prop up the Pixel 10 Pro for some long exposures and astrophotography before I head home from a trip.

For $10I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and it’s my favorite Pixel 10 Pro accessory.

Do you have a favorite phone accessory that you can’t live without? I would love to hear about it.
