PopSockets was officially founded in 2014 by David Barnett, but the story starts a few years earlier. In 2010, Barnett glued two buttons to the back of his mobile phone as a method for keeping his earbud cord from becoming tangled. It wasn't pretty, but it worked. After trying out about 60 different prototypes, Barnett created buttons that expand and collapse so they could function as a gripping point and a stand for a phone. In 2012, Barnett launched a KickStarter campaign to fund his idea for an iPhone case with two PopSocket grips integrated into it, which turned out to be a success. Today, over 100 million PopSockets have been sold to customers all over the world.
PopSockets grips come in many styles, from retro designs and nature prints to pop-culture collaborations and styles inspired by comics, movies and television. There's even a collection for sports fans with college team grips and professional team grips. Go for something classic and simple yet still stylish with a faux leather grip, a crafted stone grip, a colorful acetate grip and other always-on-trend styles. You'll always find something new for your phone with exclusives and limited editions. There's even a selection of PopMini's, which are 3-packs of grips slightly smaller than the original. Don't forget to pick up a multi-surface mount to use with your grip or a PopWallet to keep your cards at hand on the back of your phone. Use a PopSockets promo code to get a discount on your order.
