A popsocket is a collapsible grip that attaches to the back of a phone, giving users a secure hold, a convenient stand, and a surface perfect for custom branding. THE/STUDIO pairs you with vetted factory partners and a built-in production team that handles everything from your custom popsocket brief and tech pack through sampling and manufacturing, so you can focus on your next drop.

WHAT WE BUILD
From MagSafe-compatible grips to wallet-integrated card holders, our factory partners manufacture every custom popsocket style your brand needs.

MagSafe
Magnetic-alignment popsocket designed for seamless attachment to MagSafe-compatible devices.

Magnetic
Built-in magnet grip that snaps on and off for easy repositioning on any magnetic surface.

Wallet
Expandable popsocket with a hidden compartment to stash cash, cards, or IDs behind your phone.

Card holder
Custom popsocket featuring an integrated sleeve that securely holds up to three cards.

Waterproof
Sealed private label popsocket built from water-resistant materials for outdoor and active use.

Your spec
Bring your own pattern or tech pack and we build to it.
A single-color silicone popsocket is straightforward factory work - clean, functional, done. The more interesting build is a fully custom popsocket featuring UV printing with edge-to-edge graphics, layered color, and fine detail across every surface. Most brands brief us at the elaborate end, and our vetted manufacturing partners deliver it as standard.


START YOUR BRIEF
You don't need a finished design to begin. Bring a sketch, a reference popsocket, a tech pack, or an AI-generated spec, and we develop it into a production-ready popsocket.

A rough concept is enough to start a popsocket brief.

Send a spec or a reference popsocket and we build to it.

Bring a spec from ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot. We productionize it.
