I’m no clumsier than the average person, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve accidentally dropped my phone. Earlier this year, it all took a toll when a final drop rendered my screen completely useless. For all these moments when you just can’t seem to keep a grip on your phone or tablet, you need a PopSocket.
A PopSocket is a small round “button” that sticks to the back of your device. You can expand it whenever you need a grip or stand, so you can finally hold your device worry-free and prop it up conveniently.
Use it as a grip to:
- Take photos (especially selfies) with ease and comfort
- Text with one hand without straining your fingers
- Hold your tablet
However you choose to use it, you’ll have the peace of mind that you won’t drop your phone during the moments that matter. All those times when you’ve laid in bed holding your phone above you only to have it drop unceremoniously onto your face are a thing of the past when you have a PopSocket.
You can also use it as a stand to prop up your phone and:
- Watch videos and movies
- Video chat with friends, family, and colleagues
These activities become much more enjoyable when you don’t have to hold up your device the entire time. As we use our mobile devices more and more to stream, shop, communicate, and play, an easy way to lessen the inevitable strain is to pop on a PopSocket.
Importantly, it sticks like glue to your device, yet you can still take it off and reposition it when necessary. Add a second one to add more stability to a larger device like a tablet, or to create a way to keep your earphones untangled.
All PopSockets cost $ 15 or less and are available in a variety of colors and patterns. Whether you want a colorful and sparkly one to match your personality or don’t care for anything flashy and just need a simple, utilitarian accessory that does its job well, you’ll have many options to choose from.
