PopSockets’ latest grip, the Suck-Up Grip and Mount, is here. The Suck-Up grip borrows the classic PopSockets design but adds suction cups to the surface, letting you stick your phone anywhere. It’s geared toward content creators for hands-free filming, but there’s a broader appeal of being able to mount your phone to watch videos or scroll social media without having to hold up the phone.
Phone accessories range from decorative, like a Sonny Angel Hipper hanging on for dear life, to the practical, like a PopSockets offering a more ergonomic grip. Content creators often lead the charge on these mobile embellishments, not surprising considering the profession centers around the phone. But those needs are dictating the evolution of classic phone accessories, like PopSockets.
PopSockets CEO Jiayu Lin says on the product’s design: “You’ve seen countless creators and celebrities with suction phone accessories, but PopSockets is stepping up the game. We designed the Suck-Up Grip & Mount as a versatile 3-in-1 solution that combines our signature grip and stand with strong suction mount technology. It empowers content creation on-the-go, has MagSafe snap-on convenience, and is a great addition to anyone’s phone wardrobe.”

The suction cup-style phone accessory has been in the creator sphere for some time, but popularity is at an all-time high. When we ask creators what their essential tools are for creating content, the most common answer is the Octobuddy, a suction grip tool that clings to surfaces so you can film hands-free almost anywhere.

PopSockets’ new suction cup grips work on the same premise as the Octobuddy, but in a different design. While Octobuddies attach with adhesive to the back of a phone, the Suck-Up grip attaches through MagSafe, making it easily removable. The grip remains true to PopSockets’ style, popping in and out for a better phone grip, but now the top of the PopSockets will be adorned with suction cups. The Suck-Up Grip and Mount is designed to hold for up to 10 hours on smooth surfaces.
The Suck-Up Grip is available to purchase for $30 from PopSockets.com and Amazon.
