Ever notice the little circular grips on people's phones? They're called PopSockets, and they're a fun and simple way to improve grip and add a bit of your own personal style.
It's a simple enough idea: the original PopSocket sticks flat to your phone, and then it can be popped out whenever you need it. They are best used as a grip for when you want to take the perfect selfie, or as a stand for when you want to read or watch something, hands-free.
Part of the appeal is the endless custom choices they offer, and that range has grown even more over time, thanks to additions like the Swappable PopSocket, which allows you to keep the same mount and instantly change the top designs based on your mood or outfit. PopSockets also makes a range of cases and accessories, though we're sticking to their original product for now.
We've compiled a list of the coolest patterns and designs currently available. Of course, if nothing on our list catches your eye, then check out the create your own section of the PopSocket site to make your own stellar look.
