You can also use a popsocket to wrap your headset neatly and as a phone holder. The popsocket holder attached to the popsocket grip can attach to any surface like a car dashboard to help hold the phone securely.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Attach Popsocket Grip

1. 

   Buy popsocket from the brand's official website. You can choose from a variety of colors and designs. You can also design your own popsocket by uploading a unique photo while ordering.
   • To order a popsocket visit https://www.popsockets.com/.

2. 

   
   
   Decide where to attach the popsocket. Decide in advance where you want the popsocket to be attached according to your intended use. Place the popsocket on the back of the phone without removing the adhesive to see how it looks. If you want to attach two popsocket to the back of your phone, put them on try and make sure they are aligned.
   • For example, if you want to hold a small phone vertically, place the popsocket at the bottom of the phone.
   • You can attach two popsocket to support the larger phone, or to wrap the earphones.
   • Decide if you want to attach the popsocket directly to your phone or on a case.

3. 

   
   
   Peel off the patch on the adhesive surface. When you are ready to attach the popsocket, slowly peel off the sticker on the base. Pull the patch gently to avoid tearing, start at an angle and gently lift it up. Do not remove the adhesive protector before ready to attach the popsocket to the phone.

4. 

   Paste the popsocket into the phone. When the surface of the adhesive is removed, press it against the spot where you want the popsocket to be placed. Press down firmly for 10-15 seconds to make sure it sticks to the phone. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Reposition the Popsocket Grip

1. 

   
   
   Flatten popsocket before removing it. Press down to flatten the popsocket on the back of the phone. This will make it easier to remove the popsocket. Do not attempt to remove the popsocket while it is being expanded, as the popsocket can separate the base during removal.

2. 

   Gently separate the popsocket from a corner. Pick a popsocket corner and begin to gently peel it off. Continue to pull gently in a circle, pulling up the outer surface. When the entire circle around the popsocket has come off, pull up the popsocket to remove it.

3. 

   Use floss to remove the popsocket if you can't pull it out. If the adhesive is too tight and you cannot remove the popsocket by hand, slide the floss under the stand to peel it off. Wrap the ends of the long floss around your index finger and place it on one side of the popsocket. Gently pull the floss between the popsocket and the phone, unscrew the adhesive.

4. 

   Rinse and dry the popsocket if the adhesive gets dirty. Make sure the adhesive part of the popsocket is clean so it can stick back together as it was. Rinse under cold water and let stand for 10 minutes to dry. You should attach the adhesive to another surface within 15 minutes, otherwise the glue will dry.

5. 

   Paste the popsocket on a new surface. Choose a new location for the popsocket attached, either on the old phone or on the new one. Press the popsocket firmly down so that the glue sticks to the phone. Continue pressing on the popsocket for 10-15 seconds to ensure it is fully attached. advertisement

Method 3 of 3: Attach the popsocket holder

1. 

   Buy a popsocket holder from the company website. The holder can be found in the "accessories" section. The popsocket holder can be attached to surfaces like a car dashboard or mirror in your bedroom.
   • Buy a popsocket holder at https://www.popsockets.com/.
   • You can also purchase a popsocket holder designed to attach to the air vents of your car.

2. 

   Wipe the surface of the adhesive with alcohol. Make sure the surface of the popsocket holder is clean so it can adhere well. Place a few drops of alcohol on a cotton ball or use an alcohol-impregnated cloth to clean the area where the clamp will be attached. The surface will dry in seconds.

3. 

   Remove the film from the adhesive on the base of the holder. Gently remove the film that protects the adhesive from the popsocket holder. Try to avoid touching the adhesive. 3M VHB pads are designed with high adhesion and will be difficult to remove if you accidentally touch them.

4. 

   Press the holding clamp down on the surface of the adhesive and let it stick for 8 hours. Press the adhesive part of the holding clip down the surface you are planning to apply. Press firmly on the holder for 10-15 seconds. Wait for the clamp to bond to the surface for 8 hours before using it to ensure it is securely attached.
   • The popsocket holder can only be attached once, so position them carefully before mounting them.

Advice

• If you attach a popsocket to a glass back (such as an iPhone 8, 8+, or X), it's a good idea to use a sticky plastic disc for bonding with the phone. Be careful though, this disc can only be reused up to three times.
• If the popsocket doesn't get on your phone, forcefully press the popsocket and let it sit for at least 8 hours before pulling it out.
