Fake. Buyer beware.
I'm frustrated to report the Popsocket I bought from here on Amazon was a fake. At first it looked fine, just like the picture. It seemed to stick on my phone with no issue, but in less than 24 hrs it slowly peeled off my phone. Luckily, I was sitting at the time so my phone just dropped into my lap. At first I shrugged it off, thought maybe I hadn't adhered it well enough (although I had cleaned phone first and pressed hard.) I pressed it down again but after that every few hours it would come off again. I went to my local Walmart and bought the IDENTICAL one, and the one from Walmart is the real deal. It sticks to my phone, doesn't come off, no issues. I've had the Walmart one for a few weeks now and it's still sticking fine. While at first glance the designs seem identical, the real one came with instructions and had "Designed in Boulder, made in China" and the patent number printed on the base of the Popsocket. The fake one one has "#POPSOCKETS, Patent: popsockets.com, made in Korea." Bought this for just $5 on Amazon, but wanted to warn anyone who was thinking of purchasing it here. It would be a shame to drop and break an expensive phone/tablet for this. If you are able to buy in a local store I'd recommend that. The real Popsocket is pretty good.
