Popsicle Handset Protectors

A Stick Phone Holder Makes Gripping Your Mobile Easier for All Tasks

— March 26, 2015 — Tech
Inspired by the popsicle, this stick phone holder enhances the utility of your rectangular smartphone. People have gotten used to gripping the rather unnatural shape of these common devices, but growing accustomed doesn't mean that there isn't room for ergonomic improvement.

The Popsicase integrates a retractable stick in the back of the smartphone case, enabling you to draw it out anytime that it might make interaction easier. Taking selfies, and using your mobile as a microphone prove the great practicality of this product, yet whenever you have your hands nearly full, this stick phone holder supports a much better grip.

There are a number of easy-to-hold smartphone case alternatives and add-ons, demonstrating the potential and demand that electronics accessories designers may strive to meet.
Trend Themes
1. Ergonomic Smartphone Accessories - Designing smartphone accessories with improved ergonomics can enhance user experience and grip.
2. Multifunctional Phone Holders - Creating phone holders that serve multiple purposes, like a retractable stick, can add practicality to smartphone usage.
3. Customizable Phone Cases - Developing phone cases with interchangeable features, such as a retractable stick, allows for personalized functionality.
Industry Implications

2. Mobile Phone Industry - The mobile phone industry can incorporate customizable and ergonomic features in their phone designs, or collaborate with electronics accessories designers to enhance user experience.
3. Selfie Accessories Market - The selfie accessories market can incorporate retractable features, like a stick phone holder, in their product offerings to provide users with convenient and stable selfie-taking experiences.
