PopSockets, Cheap Plastic Phone Grip

Cell phones are a basic need for both business and individual use. The days when cell phones were small and you could grip the phone only using one hand are gone. Newer models are constantly flooding the market with bigger screens. There is also a rapid increase in numbers of other needed devices such as tablets and e-readers. A huge issue that arises with the large size of the devices is that holding them with one hand becomes next to impossible. The probability of dropping your phone due to a lack of grip is increased costing you more in the long run.

PopSockets are cheaply made plastice materials developed to aid in holding the smartphone securely, so your thumb is left free to navigate the screen. It reduces the chances of tapping on the wrong things on the screen of your phone and ensures that you have a firm grasp on your device. They also aid in stability and act as a stand so you can prop your phone up and watch movies.

PopSockets are self-adhesive circular shaped pieces of plastic that have the ability to pop out and provide a secure grip. They have adjustable levels. When you aren't using it, you can have the grip flattened, so your smartphone can rest flat on a counter top. You can also decide on how extended the popsocket gets when in use. Level one of the popsockets is extended one click while at level two the popsocket is fully extended. These two different levels accommodate almost all sizes of fingers as those with tiny fingers can grip the smartphone at level one.
