Thank you for reminding me I got these for my phone last time. (I just swapped to a google pixel from a galaxy s4 mini, and I hate it. I’m waiting for the galaxy s10e to come down to a price point I’m willing to pay for it to actually upgrade, these are secondhand) and should put one on this phone cause it’s a behemoth and that might make it easier to hold.
ETA-Yes. it does. I can hold it with my ring/pinky fingers and use my thumb on the same hand for one handed operation, which my smaller hands can’t otherwise do!
@Jamileigh17 Funny, I went from the pixel to a galaxy s9 which is terrible. Pixel 3 dropped down to a great price and can’t wait to unload this Samsung garbage I currently have.
@abamon81@Jamileigh17 I’m on a Nokia 6.1 and love it. Great battery life, USB C, fingerpint, NFC, SD card, FM radio w/ headphones, metal frame, and best of all, Android One, which means Oreo, no TouchWiz or carrier bloatware, and monthly security updates. For $160 or less @Newegg now. Got mine from BB with a discounted Prepaid card combo, and another from Amazon.
@therealjrn guess i missed the sarcasm in the post above …
I totally agree with you… Same reason i think those stuck on CC holders suck. Plus now if you lose your phone you’re totally fucked.
@guyfromhawthorn@therealjrn wireless charging is overrated. It’s slow and you have to line up the device or it won’t charge. I’ve tried cheapo to expensive and Qi charging really sucks over all. Pop a Meh socket on there and you will forget about wireless charging forever.
@iPooOnUFirstMeh You clearly are a fanboi. Wireless charging is very, very fast on my Samsung. Of course I’m not using some kind of jangky off-brand equipment like you obviously were.
What is wrong with you that you can’t seem to hold onto your phone? Are you too greasy or something??
@therealjrn It’s still not as fast as pluggin directly into the quick charger. I have an S10 too. Most of us peeps are active so to be able to say ride a bike or heavy equipment, it’s nice to be able to hold an use your phone with one hand and not worry about losing it. …like the YT vid of the road rage guy trying to take a pic and his phone blowing away done the expressway… would not have happened if he had a pop socket
@shahnm
Too many informants about the Panama papers!
Yeah there have been a lot just don’t go around killing journalists in Malta. If there weren’t enough the story would never break out though.
@deathbynoodlez@mike808 Yay, you deserved the offline time. I feel obligated to buy more after, you know, the incident, so in for four more …
/giphy ticklish-vulgar-limit
I feel about these as I do with shirts emblazoned with the maker’s brand: If you want me to walk around advertising YOU, then either the stuff to ME or pay me.
@dalekjoe The ones they sold last time have a good adhesive - I’ve even pulled it off and re-positioned a couple times and they’re holding strong, so I hope these are the same.
Exactly the same price on Morningsave, why should we buy here, this is no deal! They should be 2 for $8 or $9, give us some incentive Meh over everyday pricing.
but yet, another item i would have sprung for with free shipping, but, alas. @snapster would free shipping after first order (in the month) be acceptable?
@Joedetroit I didn’t either till I got mine. What’s cool is you can pry the socket up and re-position it at anytime and it’s still grips. Have the soket in the middle of the phone and it acts like a stand to watch Meh videos. Have it towards the bottom and it’s a great to hold your device in one hand.
I would normally feel nothing about these. Besides a little grossed out about sticking something on the back of my phone. But cause of the whiners they had better sell out.
@unksol
You are trying to turn the wine back into water?
I personally don’t care if other people whine why should it affect you enough to type a reply on the internet?
I already have 2 small metal plates stuck to the back of my phone for my car mount, that holds it magnetically and also wireless charges. If you could figure out how I can use this without messing up that, I’d consider it.
@Stumpy91 and @Joedetroit Took me 3 months to figure-out where the “meh button” is located and why. Still don’t know how to do a giphy. Two days ago I discovered what folks do with PopSockets: They stick these things onto their slippery smartphones and tablets and grip 'em or slip 'em between their fingers like little knobs. Prevents their devises from falling out of their hands, crashing to the floor! (i could be wrong, but it sounds correct)
@HoneyIMHome@Joedetroit@Stumpy91 This might help you, although it is kind of outdated. I wish some Meh employee (hint, hint) would update it. (@JonT was an employee who was our forum babysitter in the very beginning.)
@Barney@therealjrn@tinamarie1974
There is more - it is called “mehdown” as in a Meh-custom version of what is called “markdown” (simplified “markup”, get it?). There is italics, indentation, quoting, bold, URLs, etc. to avoid people learning HTML - the coding language of web pages that browsers use.
@Barney hahaha, nah I only bake for special occasions like birthdays and Christmas.
For Christmas my mom, sister and I bake easily a thousand cookies (no I am not kidding). Some typical like chocolate or sugar some ethnic from the “old country”. If I would be tempted to eat any of them it would be the old world family recipe ones as they are not very sweet.
I usually just make up trays for work or the big celebrations at my house. Then I have a handful of guy friends I grew up with who are single and they get a box each every year since they don’t have wives or girl friends to bake for them.
@tinamarie1974 I, too, bake cookies at Christmas, just one kind though. I usually bake around a thousand of them. One year I made fifteen hundred (never again).
These are my Christmas gifts I give to EVERYONE, friends, neighbors, mail carriers – anyone who will accept a plate, bag, or box of them.
@therealjrn@tinamarie1974 Sorry, I no longer send out cookies to my online friends(?). Got burned once, I can’t let that happen again. It hurts too much.

This is pricy for meh pop sockets, especially if they still have the same shitty adhesive.
SOCK PUPPETS
@dalekjoe The knockoffs they sold the first time stuck a lot better.
@dalekjoe @sammydog01
Super glue. Duh.
@mike808 Sure on a $2 pop socket. A $6 pop socket should adhere itself well.

@robson I have a coupon. How’s that for a reason?
@robson Well then VMP’s shouldn’t buy here, rather should buy there. They’d save 10%.
Hey @deathbynoodlez - look what you are responsible for
@Kidsandliz i couldnt be more proud
Sometimes I wish the write-up would at least tell me what a thing is.

@ponagathos it’s what the market will bear…
@ponagathos Were they the actual PopSocket brand?
Get them while they are hot (and melt your battery shame on you Meh).
Is this the swappable version where you can twist to pull it off and replace? Or the older style that’s as-is?
but yet, another item i would have sprung for with free shipping, but, alas. @snapster would free shipping after first order (in the month) be acceptable?
