How to Customize Your Phone

Cell phones

Do you want to add your own original spin to your cell phone? If so, you’ve come to the right place. From customizing phone cases and grips to changing you screen’s background and adding unique accessories, there are countless ways to express your individuality through your device. Keep reading as we start exploring how to create a phone that’s not just a gadget, but a personalized extension of yourself.

Customize your own phone case

A cell phone case lets you show the world a little glimpse of yourself, so naturally, the first thing to do when personalizing your phone is to create a custom cell phone case. A personalized phone case not only serves as a reflection of your style and personality, but it also helps protect your device.

Whether you’re looking for custom iPhone cases or custom cases for your Android, a personalized cell phone case allows you to make your phone truly your own. More basic cell phone cases are also available, like sleek minimalist designs or clear cases. However, personalized cell phone cases are gaining more and more popularity thanks to PopSockets.

What are PopSockets?

If you don’t already know what PopSockets are, there’s a good chance you’ve already seen them. PopSockets are a type of cell phone grip, which is the small, expandable piece that attaches to the back of your phone, tablet or phone case. Cell phone grips are designed to make it easier to hold your device, take selfies, text or even use it as a stand for hands-free viewing.

PopSockets is also a brand that specializes in personalized MagSafe phone grips. MagSafe PopSockets take the convenience of a regular phone grip a step further by incorporating Apple's MagSafe technology, allowing you to attach and remove it magnetically without leaving any adhesive residue. So, if you have a phone case to customize, you might want to consider looking into PopSockets.

PopSockets also make PopWallets, complete PopCases and graphic inserts, all of which are completely customizable. A PopWallet is a slim, attachable wallet that sticks to the back of your phone just like a PopSockets phone grip. A MagSafe PopWallet offers a convenient way to carry your essential cards, IDs or cash without the need for a separate wallet. A PopCase, on the other hand, provides all-around protection for your phone while graphic inserts are decorative elements that can be added to your PopSockets grip.

How to customize PopSockets

Customizing any PopSockets item is an incredibly simple process, letting you create one-of-a-kind cell phone accessories with a wide range of designs, from vibrant patterns to personal photos. Here’s how to use PopSockets to customize your phone:

  • Select your accessory or a combination of them, including PopSockets wallets, grips, cases or graphic inserts.
  • Upload a photo or select from the PopSockets image gallery. There are plenty of options to choose from, but custom photo phone cases with images that you took yourself can really add a unique touch to your device.
  • Put your order in and get your personalized cell phone accessories mailed directly to you.

Customizing PopSockets is that simple. But, why stop there? Now that you’ve discovered this custom phone case maker, there are plenty of other ways to personalize your cell phone.

Keyboards for phones

Every smartphone has a touchscreen that can serve as a virtual keyboard, but that takes up screen space and can also be less tactile and slower compared to a physical keyboard. If you’re an iPhone user, however, you can easily add a Clicks keyboard to your device. Simply slip your phone into the keyboard and insert the USB-C or Lightning connection into your iPhone’s port. In addition to adding some personalization to your phone, advantages of using a Clicks keyboard include:

  • Easy navigation.  With the help of keyboard shortcuts, you can open apps and perform other tasks without touching and smudging up your phone’s screen.
  • Natural typing. Typing on a physical keyboard with real buttons can be easier and faster, opening the door to on-the-go creation and increased productivity.
  • More screen space. Depending on what app you are using, you can reclaim up to 50% of your screen that would regularly be taken up by the virtual keyboard.

Clicks keyboards are also available in various colors, adding even more customization to your device. Since Clicks keyboards only work with iPhones, you can always look into how to find the best iPhone deals if you don’t currently have one.

Customizing backgrounds and more

Once you have a personalized cell phone cover, you can start customizing your phone’s background and lockscreen images. You can choose photos, patterns or designs that reflect your personal style and interests. Additionally, you can explore custom widgets and app icons to further personalize your phone’s interface. This can make your phone truly unique, both inside and out.

As our phones become more and more integrated into our daily lives, it’s important to add a little bit of yourself to your device. Whether you are decking out your cell phone case with custom-made magnetic PopSockets, adding a stylish and equally functional Clicks keyboard or switching up your phone’s interface, you can blend practicality with personal expression. So, what are you waiting for? Start customizing your phone today.
