Do you own an OctoBuddie or Popsocket? I feel that PopSockets are better than OctoBuddies. A Popsocket is better because it helps you hold your phone, and it is very useful for everyday life. An OctoBuddy is something that content creators use because it can stick to things like windows and mirrors. Today, I will prove why PopSockets are better than OctoBuddies.

PopSockets help you hold your phone because of the way it works. A PopSocket pops out and gives you space to slide your hand in, making it very hard for your phone to fall. They have two different types: they have a kind that sticks to your phone, and they have a kind that is a magnet. The magnet Popsocket goes with a specific phone case that has a magnet. The magnet Popsocket is called a Magnesafe. The reason I like these PopSockets over OctoBuddies is that OctoBuddies don’t help you hold your phone. OctoBuddies are great for content creation, but are not great for day-to-day use. That is one reason why PopSockets are better.
Some people don’t like that you have to hold your phone all the time instead of being able to stick it somewhere. Well, there is a solution for that. PopSockets made something called the PopClip. The way to use it is to first stick the PopClip anywhere you want, then push the Popsocket down, and lastly slide it into the PopClip, and your phone becomes stable and hands-free. PopClips can stick anywhere you want them to. Some people like to put them in their kitchen so that they can look at recipes, and some people like to put them in their car. The PopClip is a very tiny phone mount, so it will not take up too much space. That is why the brand, in general, is great. OctoBuddies might be disappointing, so I would go with a Popsocket.
OctoBuddies do not stick to everything. Despite their advertising, an OctoBuddy is designed for certain phone cases and phones. If you have a big or bulky case, it will likely not like your phone too much. If your phone is big and heavy, it will likely not stay up. This can be a big disappointment for people. OctoBuddies have two different kinds. There is one where both sides have suction cups, and there is one where one side is a sticky silicone. The one with suction cups on both sides can have trouble suctioning in the early uses of it, due to getting dirty. That really sucks for buyers, but Popsockets won’t let you down, and they won’t be a disappointment.
