The pop socket is an accessory that provides a better and safer grip for your smartphone. It sticks to the back of the device (it doesn't stick to certain silicone or waterproof cases) and makes one-handed texting easier, while allowing you to take selfies more easily. It also works as a stand for watching videos without having to hold the device. When combined with a PopMount, it can be attached to the car air vent, making hands-free use of your mobile device easier.
