5 Easy Ways To Tell If A PopSocket Is Fake Or Authentic

1
3M Tape Sticker

If you notice a 3M sticker on the back of the PopSocket, it is the first sign that it is FAKE! Real PopSockets will always have a clear transparent cover protecting the special glue gel.

No POP!

The Real PopSocket will literally "POP OUT" and produce a popping sound on being extended. A PopSocket knockoff on the other hand, will extend minimally and without a sound.

Sticky Test

The adhesive used in a Real PopSocket is a special gel that is rinsible and repositionable. So you can re-stick it as many times as you want. The Fake one, has a double-sided tape that would likely lose its stickiness after single use.

PopSocket Branding

The packaging would be a giveaway if you notice one or more of these anomalies - modified logo, spelling errors, absence of a bar code, pixelated design etc. Another cool identifier is the brand debossing at the base of a genuine PopSocket.
