The pop socket is an accessory that provides a better and safer grip on your smartphone. It sticks to the back of it (does not stick to certain silicone or waterproof cases) and makes one-handed texting easier, while also facilitating selfie taking. It also functions as a stand for watching videos without having to hold the device. When combined with a PopMount, it can be attached to the car's air vent, enabling hands-free use of the phone.
