RELATED: Kids Tablets That Let Them Read, Write, And Create On Their Own But the days of spiderweb cracks are behind me, and not because my kids grew up. Rather, it’s because I stuck these grippy Pop Sockets onto the backs of their tablets. Pop Sockets are dead-simple little doodads. They’re inch-and-a-half wide plastic discs that extend from the back of your phone or tablet. Once attached, they provide little hands with an actual handle to grab onto and a convenient stand to help prop up the device. Even better, they collapse flat against the back of the phone when not in use. So apart from the added flair ⏤ they come in a ton of colorful designs to match your personality, or case ⏤ you’ll hardly notice it’s there when closed. Pop Sockets attach with a very strong adhesive, so you don’t have to worry about one coming loose or falling off. You do, however, have to be careful about placing it exactly where you want it when you first stick it on ⏤ the glue is meant for a single use. That said, it’s still pretty sticky and there are plenty of videos online that will show you how to reposition it if you screw up. Then again, at only $10 a pop, why not slap a few on? It makes no sense to live on the edge with an $800 phone. You may not be able to save your kids’ brains from the ubiquity of technology, but you can at least save their screens from the pavement.
