Okay so this is a BIG phone and average sized hands for a 5'8 American and I have to say my cousins note 8. (Used cause it's basically exact same specs as the 7pro) just does not feel safe in to hand for everyday one handed use. I walked around her house post few days typing, using Swype and just browsing the web. Seems that I truly don't like that lark pop socket she has on her case. Clearly not worried about blocking QI charging so wondering what other options people have used and enjoyed our are using/planning to use with their OP 7pro?
pop sockets or alternatives...

I'm personally going for this.
Shmimy Ring Case for OnePlus 7 Pro Kickstand Silicone Cases with Magnetic Bracket Back Cover Slim Fit for OnePlus 7 Pro (Red) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RQRHDGX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_b245CbE9W9WEF
Just got a case like this for my wife's 6t and she loves it. Decided I might as well get one like it.

I would like that case more if it didn't have that silly text on the back.
I thought about that but again the text makes it look cheap along with the fact of no photo reviews and the case photos look fake none with actual device in them. Also no mention of front lip being raised enough to protect the curved screen. But I did see this last night. I love poetic and slogan cases so looking for good alt to pop socket for some thing along those lines.
Been using a slim finger strap with my lg g6 lately to test but it's not quick or easy enough to actually get finger under so I don't care for it.
I use this ring. Been using the same one for a year and no issues so far.

I've been using Loopy loops on my cases since my Pixel 2XL (then 3XL and now OnePlus 7 Pro). They make a case specifically for the loops, but I figured out if you just drill holes in the back of your case, the loops work just fine. The only downsides: the phone can no longer lay flat, and the back of the case bulges a tiny amount (honestly barely noticeable) but that doesn't bug me at all, I still prefer it over a popsocket or other hard attachment.

For example this is using the factory OnePlus 7 Pro case:

I'm using a Ringke Fusion X and a T-Mobile Pop Socket just fine with it. Also adheres extremely well with the included stock TPU case that comes with the phone.
It's interesting to hear a real world review of this lasting over a year. I've read so many reviews of Rings, even this one and everyone says they fall apart after a few weeks, so I never know which reviews to believe.
Yep, I had this on my Note 8, then Note 9, now my OP. Using the same adhesive too, the included 3M adhesive is insanely strong and long lasting it seems (at least when taking it off plastic cases), just don't pry it off too quick or it stretches/warps it. The hinge probably isn't as stiff as when I first got it but it still pretty good and does it's job.
I typically use it as a landscape stand. It can't really do portrait stand for any of the phones I've had because they are all big and heavy. It probably can be done but you would have to place the ring closer to the bottom or top of the phone, but then it would be awkward to use when you put a finger through to hold/grip the phone.
