  • I have been using Popsockets for years. They are seriously so convenient and make using my phone easier. I love all the different accessories and fun designs too. I’m not sure what I would without them!

  • After seeing it all over booktok, I put a PopSocket on the back of my Kindle and LOVE it. It makes it so much easier and comfortable to hold while reading. 10/10 recommend trying it!!! Also love the MagSafe PopSocket for my phone since I use a wireless charger. It’s convenient to be able to pop it on and off when I need it.

  • Honestly have nothing against the brand, it's just not for me. I had one for a bit and, while it was useful from time to time, I just found it to be more of a hassle when I wasn't using it. Like when you go to put it in your pocket, the socket gets caught on the hem or something. And, if you want to take it off you're left with a residue that you have to scrub off. I will say that I'm always tempted to give into it again with all the cute designs and various new products they come out with. I just haven't found one that's enough to draw me back into it just yet.

  • It does make your phone easier to hold, but when I have one on my phone I have issues with wireless charging.

  • Nice deigns and they hold up pretty well

    Products could be better to last longer for the length have having a phone for 2+ years.

  • This little gadgets making watching videos on your phone easy you can prop the phone up or read texting holding it , also carrying it holding onto to this little knob is so handy! So many different opinions it’s just convenient!

  • LOVE my pop socket! Since phones have gotten larger, it makes it so much easier and more comfortable to hold.

  • these Popsockets are such excellent quality, i'Ve never had any trouble with them. very durable.

  • The biggest problem with Pop sockets for me is that I like to change cases fairly often and the sockets often detract from case designs. I honestly never use them now. I am sure it is useful for some, but I hold my phone just fine. It also gets in the way of mounting my phone in the car or with anything that is not made to accommodate the added bulk.

  • These just weren’t for me. Not the most comfortable way to casually hold my phone. And got caught on my pocket.

    Slimmer design. Maybe recessed into a case.

  • Definitely fun and helpful when gripping the phone. I used one for a number of years.

    It did start breaking down after a while, and I would have to continually re-assemble it. That was annoying.

  • The original. I always buy a new PopSocket when I get a new phone -- but I have to shout out the best use, your KINDLE! Makes reading for hours (everyone reads hours in a row, right? oops!) so comfortable. It's a lifesaver on long flights or lazy rivers.

    I wish some of the less classic styles were not as expensive, as I'd like to try the new styles but keep going back to the classic stick-on circle.

  • I ordered a pop socket and chose the 3-5 day shipping. It’s been a full 2 weeks and the order is still in processing. Customer service won’t cancel/refund the order. Never ordering again

  • Love the Disney popsockets but unfortunately they wear out in less than five months. The two pieces come apart and the piece that attaches to your phone wears out and won't hold the pop socket. Their customer service is useless. You have to jump through hoops to get a replacement or a refund. Beware. Just know they break in less than 5 months. Sad.

  • Absolutely love pop sockets they are amazing and they look super cute

    Bought myself
  • It makes sense to use PopSockets especially with the large phones like the Iphone 14 Pro Max. Get a better grip on the phone and in the case of some of my friends, it helps prevent injury due to the weight of the phone on the wrist. helpful when at a concert ..take all the shots and video without worrying about someone bumping you up front :-)

  • I’ve been using my Popsocket for about 3 months now. I love the product & it makes carrying my phone easier. I definitely drop it less and my only issue is with them not staying open when propped up.

    Good customer service! quality needs work

  • The adhesive and base are super durable and I love that you can pick a photo or design of your own that you've made. You can also change the tops without having the remove the bottoms which makes it easier to switch designs often. Makes for a really great gift to give someone!

    Wish the top where the design is was a bit more durable, they get scratched and fade very easily
