About PopSockets

In 2014, David Barnett—a philosophy professor in Boulder, Colorado—glued two huge, ugly buttons on the back of his phone to solve the age-old problem of the tangled earbud cord. Sixty prototypes later, the PopSockets grip was born—an expandable, collapsible grip and stand for your phone that could still be used to tame the tangle. The business has grown from David’s garage to having offices in Boulder, San Francisco, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Helsinki. To date, over 50 million PopSockets grips have been sold globally.
