Construction Cement from your local hardware store is the right adhesive.

There is a lot to choose from. Polyurethane versions take longer to dry, but hold good.

Sometimes the best approach is two. One that grabs fast, but is weak and the other that dries slow, but is almost forever. Don't mix the two, just apply to different parts of the item you want to glue.

Wear gloves when working with the good stuff, it's hard to get off your phone.

Very crafty, so apply enough of the instant tack stuff near the corners to hold it in place with one slap while the slower drying but more permanent stuff in the middle finishes the job.

Not just crafty, but a regular construction technique.

For construction-type use, the tack adhesive can be from a hot glue gun, but those need a power source.
