When I’m just running out to the store or in the school pickup line, I don’t always want to bring my bag or wallet. This has become a handy little solution and has saved my bacon more than once. The main reason I never used a PopSocket before was that it made it hard to charge on a wireless pad, but this PopWallet+ is a game changer.
