A PopSocket is a small, collapsible disc that can be attached to the back of a mobile phone or tablet. It functions as a stand, a grip, and a way to wrap earbuds. PopSockets are made of a flexible material that allows them to be expanded and collapsed, making them easy to store when not in use.
PopSockets were invented in 2014 by David Barnett, a former philosophy professor. Barnett came up with the idea for PopSockets after he saw his daughter struggling to hold her phone while taking photos. He designed PopSockets to be a simple, affordable, and effective way to make it easier to use a phone or tablet.
