Corner protection rather than uniform padding is the design decision that matters, because almost all drop damage enters through a corner and uniform foam protects the flat faces that rarely hit first.
Full details →Who the PopSockets Phone Grip with MagSafe Magnetic Base is for
Buy it if: iPhone 12 or later users, or anyone with a genuine MagSafe case, who wants a removable grip.
Avoid it if: Anyone with a plain case, and anyone wanting a car mount -- the hold is not sufficient over rough roads.
Who the Tomtoc 360 Protective Laptop Sleeve 15.6-inch is for
Buy it if: Anyone carrying a laptop inside a backpack who wants genuine corner protection.
Avoid it if: Anyone wanting a standalone carrying case -- there is no strap or handle.
