My daughter Natalie was all, "It's all about the PopSockets!"
I blinked. "Wasn't it all about the Fidget Spinners?"
"It WAS. But not anymore."
Natalie always teaches me new things. She shows me YouTubers who seem to make messes, but she finds hilarious. (Logan Paul.) She sings new songs that I've never heard of in my life.
And she shows me new products.
PopSockets are things you press onto your phone:
You can get them in a variety of colors and pictures. Natalie opted for a donut because, well, "I love donuts."
I guess they make the phone easier to hold.
"What's so difficult about gripping the phone in your palm?" I asked, baffled.
Natalie rolled her eyes. "Old people do that."
"I bet your PARDON?" I was offended.
Natalie giggled. "I'm kidding." But from the look on her face, I'm not sure if she was.
You can prop your phone up with the PopSocket as well.
And if you don't want the PopSocket, you can push it in and hold it "the old fashioned way" as Natalie likes to call it. Natalie also wants the PopSocket mount, which allows you to stick your phone to a wall, a locker, mirror, etc...but she's run out of allowance.
I don't have one on my phone yet. I'm still holding it the "old fashioned way."
Do you have a PopSocket?
(If not, you can pick one out here!)

I don't have one....I guess I'm old! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a really handy goody. I might be old coz I don't have one and my phone is still small enough to hold in my hand haha
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm old because I hold it the 'old fashioned' way...lol. My kids talked about this too, but none of us have it yet.
ReplyDeleteI have one of this!! And I really find it useful :)

Haha I never heard of popsocket before! I guess I am old! I remember myself as kid running home to my mum saying "What! You dont know what hubbabubba is??" 😂
ReplyDeleteHaha there really is that point where you suddenly feel old isn't there, like ermm you what haha!
DeleteNo I don't have one. You can prop your phone up - just what I don't need. I can barely see my phone when I am holding it up to my face.
ReplyDeleteOK I have to admit I've not heard of a popsocket before, it sounds like they can be kinda useful though seeing as they let you prop your phone up as well.
ReplyDeleteI actually have one but haven't used it. I'd better get that on the phone pronto so I don't appear to be a geezer! lol
ReplyDeleteI just saw these for the first time over the weekend. Same donut one! I wouldn't need help holding my phone, but being able to prop it up seems useful!
ReplyDeleteBawahahaha! That sounds like something my daughter would say to me. Count me with the old people too but it is cute and would be really handy propping up the phone.
ReplyDeleteMy kids are constantly telling me about things I HAVE TO GET. My daughters suggested I get a pop socket but I already have a holder a on my phone that I like and doesn't stick out and I can loop my fingers through so I won't drop it.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA. Old people hold their phones. I did see someone with one of these that looked like a pop tab and it was pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this! I could definitely do something like this especially when I'm traveling. Sometimes all I have is my phone to look at in a movie on my phone gets old when you have to hold the phone all the time.
ReplyDeleteI keep saying I need one of these, lol. I got the kids one because they're spoiled like that and always have cool stuff before I do.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it! But both of my kids HATE fidget spinners and think they're useless so maybe this will help.
ReplyDeleteI saw these a while back once before. I may need to look into getting one for my neices and myself.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'm really glad that the fidget spinner fad died down, this actually seems pretty useful. I would even get one myself for when I'm working and watching netflix on my phone. :)
ReplyDeleteI can relate. My grand daughter thought she had to have one of every kind and every color and I would play with them more than her lol.
DeleteMy son hasn't asked for one yet. I'm sure it's going to come though. ;)
ReplyDeletehaha, I guess I fall into the 'old' category! But truthfully it's the younger generation that keeps us old folks hip and up-to-date on all the new and cool fashions and gadgets
ReplyDeleteCool! This is the first time I've seen that and I am so excited to have one! I would want the PopSocket mount.
ReplyDeleteI got mine last summer, and it has saved my phone so many times. It makes selfies easier, and it just adds another level of security when holding your phone. I love mine and can not recommend them enough.
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the old group. I have never heard of these and I don't see why you can't just hold your phone. lol
ReplyDeleteWe just recently tried one of these and really loved it - we had no way of knowing how to describe it, so we'll definitely point to your post and share with our readers!
ReplyDelete"Old people do that" oh kids are awesome! :) I have not seen this yet, although my kids do not have phones so I don't think they would need this. Those fidget spinners they are still obsessed with though!
ReplyDeleteI am sat here thinking when in world did popsockets come in? How! Who! what! When? I am so behind, kids of these days are way to advanced
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of it so I'm still holding my phone the old fashioned way. It definitely seems cooler than some of the older options out there.
ReplyDeleteYou're daughter is funny. :) I've been seeing this trend with young ones lately and I must admit they look cute on your phone paired with your fancy phone case and fancy nails :D I for one don't use it either but it's an adorable phone accessory.
ReplyDeleteI have been seeing these things EVERYWHERE. I guess I'm old to because I don't see the point hahahah!
ReplyDeleteI've been hesitating to get a pop socket for ages because I don't know if it will add more bulk to my phone! But I tried out my friend's one last week and it's amazing! I just have to find a cute design now :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard them called pop sockets. I remember my neighbor got a phone case with a built-in finger loop a few years ago. That must have been the precursor to the "pop socket." They're cool, but they make it really hard to put your phone in your pocket. I'm fine with the old fashioned way!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of these, but they look fun, and useful. I can easily see our girls using them.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it might have been designed for old people but the marketeers decided to paint em bright colours and sell them to the kids. Not seen them over here yet but I'll be ready when they arrive.
ReplyDeleteI know this designed for kids, but I think I want one! It could come in handy.
ReplyDeleteI must be totally old and lame...I had never heard of a PopSocket before. Oops! And of course, this is a few days after I got my kids their own fidget spinners...
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of these before. There are so many new crazes, that I just can't keep up. I have all this to look forward to haha.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the pop sockets but I have never used them before. They do look like a cute way of handling phones. But I might be with you and only have my daughter worry about getting things like that.
ReplyDeleteI can't keep up. Every week it's something new. My son loved the fidget spinners, I have to ask him if he knows about pop sockets.
ReplyDeleteAnother old person here :) I think my nephew will love the pop sockets very much.
ReplyDeletePut me in the old bracket, because I had no clue what these were!
ReplyDeleteI initially have no clue about Popsocket. And when I saw the photos, I realized, why these companies gives weird names on its products?
ReplyDeleteActually this item is not so new... I've seeing these everywhere in the Philippines and when I travel in Asia since two years ago :D
Sone even decorate it with mini-stuff toys with it!
I have just started seeing these come around. I am completely on board because I didn't like the fidget spinners everyone had to have!
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing these everywhere! lol I can't decide if I would find them useful or annoying though.
ReplyDeleteI think these Popsockets are kind of cool. Yes I am an old person a little and have not seen these before but they seem to come in handy. Thanks for sharing this neat item.
