Popsockets are trendy. If you have one, you know how much fun it is to use them! When attached to your phone or tablet you can play with the top of a popsocket by pulling them in and out again. However, you may want to remove your popsocket from your phone and stick it elsewhere. This is very easy to do. All you have to do is slide your nails under the base of it and pull lightly.

To step

Method 1 of 2: Remove the popsocket

1. Push down on the top of the popsocket if it is pulled up. Do not try to remove your popsocket from your device while it is still pulled up. The popsocket could then potentially become detached from its base during the removal process.
2. Work your nails under the base of the popsocket. Press your nails against the sides of the base of the pop socket and push until you can feel them slide underneath. You don't have to push very far - just until you feel you have a good grip on the pop socket. You should already be able to feel the base of your popsocket detaching from your phone.
   • Slip a few inches of floss under your popsocket if your nails don't want to fit.
3. Slowly pull the popsocket off your phone. Gently grip the pop socket as you pull. Work slowly and carefully until the popsocket loosens. Try to peel off the popsocket, starting from one side and pulling to the other.

Method 2 of 2: clean and reattach Popsockets

1. Run the base of the popsocket under cold water for three seconds. Your popsocket is small and already very sticky, so you don't need a lot of water to clean it and help it re-stick. Too much water can extend its drying time beyond 15 minutes and ruin its stickiness.
2. Let the popsocket dry for about ten minutes. Let your popsocket dry in the open air. Place it on a paper towel or a regular towel with the sticky side up.
   • Don't try to leave your pop socket in place for more than 15 minutes. Then he will lose his stickiness.
   • If your popsocket is still not dry after ten minutes, gently wipe its base with a paper towel.
3. Stick the popsocket back on your phone or another flat surface. Any clean, flat surface will work. However, keep in mind that a popsocket may be less likely to stick to leather, silicone, or waterproof surfaces. Mirrors, windows, tablets and cell phones are the best places to attach a pop socket.
   • Let your popsocket rest for about an hour before pulling it up or pushing it down again. This will give it time to get completely stuck on your phone again.

Tips

• Don't worry about straightening the image on your popsocket when you restore it. You can change its position by turning the top of the popsocket when you put it back.
• If your nails are not long enough or you are concerned that they will break, use a paper clip or safety pin.
