Step aside, Octobuddy — the inaugural suction grip from PopSockets has arrived


PopSockets is preparing to launch its newest grip, the Suck-Up Grip and Mount, on July 30. This innovative grip preserves the iconic PopSockets design while adding suction cups, enabling users to attach their phones to almost any surface. It is mainly targeted at content creators seeking hands-free filming capabilities, but it also caters to anyone interested in mounting their phone for video watching or social media browsing without the need to hold it.

The Suck-Up Grip merges the classic PopSockets aesthetic with the modern trend of suction mount technology. Phone accessories vary widely from decorative pieces, such as a Sonny Angel Hipper, to functional tools like a PopSockets ergonomic grip. Content creators largely influence the demand for these mobile accessories, as their activities are centered around phones. These requirements are transforming the development of traditional phone accessories like PopSockets.

According to PopSockets CEO Jiayu Lin, “You’ve witnessed countless creators and celebrities utilizing suction phone accessories, but PopSockets is elevating the standard. We developed the Suck-Up Grip & Mount as an adaptable 3-in-1 solution that fuses our distinctive grip and stand with robust suction mount technology. It enhances content creation on-the-go, offers MagSafe snap-on ease, and is an excellent addition to anyone’s phone collection.”

Suction cup-style phone accessories have gained traction among creators for quite a while, and their popularity is now at an all-time high. When asked about their essential tools for content creation, the most frequently mentioned item is the Octobuddy, a suction grip tool that facilitates hands-free filming in virtually any location.

PopSockets’ new suction cup grips function based on the same concept as the Octobuddy but feature a unique design. While Octobuddies rely on adhesive to stick to a phone’s back, the Suck-Up grip utilizes MagSafe, making it simple to detach. The grip retains PopSockets’ characteristic style, easily popping in and out for improved phone handling, and now includes suction cups on top. The Suck-Up Grip and Mount can hold securely for up to 10 hours on smooth surfaces.

The Suck-Up Grip will be available for purchase on PopSockets.com starting July 30, 2025.
