Pop sockets

[olliegrl]

Anyone use these on their 7+? Wondered if they help or if it's a gimmick.

I have tiny girl hands and would like a 7+ but can't figure out a secure way to hold it.

I use mine religiously. Also have tiny girl hands. Best $10 I have spent on a phone.

Do they actually stay? What are the tops made of? Paper?

When they're pushed in, is the phone relatively flat?

My hands are small. Don't use them

 

[TripleOne]

Nope!
I can’t be bothered.

I don’t use them myself but I know lots of people who do. From what I see they stay in place really well. They’re made of a rubbery substance in the middle with either a plastic or metal finish on top.

I have quite a few of them & the adhesive is VERY STRONG ! They certainly help in holding the 6S plus ALOT.... I'm also petite (4-11). I actually have a few cases set up with one so when I change cases it's convenient. As far as using them on life proof fre cases, if you don't have a skin for the case its hard for the PopSocket to stick because of the textured surface of the LifeProof fre. Also, I don't use them on any of my Apple leather cases, as strong as the adhesive is if it needs to be removed I wouldn't want to damage the leather on the cases itself.

Here is one of my fre's set up with a custom Skin from SkinIt.com and the mermaid PopSocket.

So I highly recommend them honestly.

It’s a gimmick, as far as I’m concerned.

I also have tiny girl hands and found out that holding my 7 Plus with both hands is a secure enough way to hold it!

 

[olliegrl]

Sure but I can't always use both hands lol

 

[Spencerdl]

Nope, not my cup of tea...LOL

LOL..... Yeah they're not for everyone.

Also, forgot to mention what I actually use them for. One handed texting, not dropping phone on my face while laying in bed, and selfies. And when I go to concerts I take a couple pics and I feel more confident using my phone in a crowded environment while using a Pop Socket, as in, I won't drop my phone into the rage pit (rock/heavy metal concerts)

 

[olliegrl]

Lmao. Not dropping on the face
Oh if I had a nickel....

I use mine on my 6s, and I love it! Since it works so well on the smaller 6s, I can imagine that I'll love it even more if I go for the 7s Plus. Now that I have one and like it so much, I can't imagine getting a larger phone and not having one.

I bought an original Popsocket, and those can be removed and repositioned without compromising the sticky stuff. I also bought a few Popsocket knock-offs from a kiosk at the mall and those work exactly the same as an official Popsocket. In fact, I think the knock-off one is better because the image is on the plastic round piece, whereas the original Popsocket feels more like a paper image stuck to the plastic. My original one shows quite a bit of wear in the short time I used it whereas the image on the knock-off hasn't shown any wear at all.

Here's a few of my PS and cases with some attached. I just received my skull PopSocket today to go with my pink fre custom Skin It skin.

Wow! Very nice! I wish I had the patience to "accessorize"

 

[olliegrl]

I just got done selling around 25 cases on eBay that I had bought for my iPhone 6

I'm really trying to just buy one good case and be done. So when I found out about PopSockets I wanted to make sure if I bought one I'd have it for a while.

Thank you yes, I really like to accessorize and match my stuff

I asked this a while back:

I don't always use it (though it's always connected) but I do find it really helps keep the phone manageable and mine's a 6s. I'll definitely be putting one on my Plus, or whatever it's called, on the next phone.
