PopSocket

What is the Pocket-lint daily and how do you get it for free?

- Believe it or not, they have extreme sticking power

- And, yes, they work both on phones and their cases!

- Keep checking back, as we update this list regularly!

It seems like everyone has a little circular grip attached to the back of their phone.

These are called PopSockets, and they've exploded in popularity over the past year or two in both the US and the UK. The maker of PopSockets was the second-fastest growing US company in 2018, according to Inc, and it has sold over 100 million of those cheap, door knob-shaped gadgets.

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, too, is the endless custom choices they offer, and that has grown even more in the past year, thanks to the Swappable PopSocket, which allows to keep the same mount and yet instantly change the top designs based on your mood or outfit.

We've compiled a list of the coolest patterns currently available. Of course, if nothing on our list catches your eye, then check out the create your own section of the PopSocket site.
