Do you create content with your cell phone? Check out what's new in the accessories market.
It seems like everything Hailey Bieber touches becomes a trend, right? And we’re not just talking about fashion and beauty, either. Recently, even the accessory attached to the back of the model’s phone became a topic of conversation on TikTok – and of course, many people used it too. Known as “octobuddy” (the brand’s name) in foreign languages, it’s a suction cup sticker that attaches to the phone’s case, allowing the device to be attached to mirrors, windows, walls, doors or any other flat surface.
When Hailey introduced this accessory to her phone, some people who weren’t familiar with it thought it was a sensory bubble meant to relieve stress and anxiety – much like pop toys – that have been trending on the internet for years. It’s been a while, remember? But in reality, this accessory is perfect for recording on the go and frees you up to create a variety of content.
That's why it's become popular among influencers and a group of people who like to record themselves. If you like to travel and go out alone, this accessory can help you avoid having to just take selfies or ask someone else to record the moment at any time. Although you can apply the sticker directly to the case, the advice is to buy two and stick one on top of the other. After that, one part remains on the phone and the other part remains on the surface without the risk of the sticker damaging the case. Check out other accessories below for those who create content on their phone.
