Phone Lanyard with Wrist Strap

Going pandemic crazy, I needed to get out and exercise (safely.) I started doing what I call "City Hikes"... I live downtown in one of the larger oldest cities in the country, and the main streets have inclines and declines with uneven sidewalks that can be somewhat challenging for a somewhat older person. A 3+mile hilly walk in under an hour can be an ok cardio exercise. I like to carry a lot: my smartphone, Samsung Note 9 in an Otterbox Symmetry case and a glass protector, which has the MapMyWalk app on it, which both records and reports to my headset throughout my "city hike": my varying rates of speed, the degrees of elevation, my heart rate as well as distance covered and my speed right at that moment. Being a very cautious person - I carry with me all my critical keys including my car key, a major credit card, ATM card, garage pass, Driver's License and some hidden folded cash. I also carry 2 spare paper masks, 2 pairs of nitrile plastic exam gloves and several sealed SONO hospital-grade equipment wipes. And finally, I also carry my glasses as well as a water bottle I can drink from particularly in this heat. Not only is that a lot to carry but downtown in an old major metropolitan area is not always the safest place - at least not in my neighborhood. Thefts occur even during the day. After quite a bit of research, scouring Amazon's site and trying a few items, I came up with a combo of items that make carrying all this effortless and as if I weren't carrying them at all, feeling as safe as possible and able to just focus on my "hike." 1. I use the wrist band lanyard. The Shanshui Lanyard is amazing; I can dangle the phone by the lanyard and it stays attached. (There is no adhesive in this product, yet with the right cell phone case, it seems amazingly safe.) 2. As an extra precaution, I use this wrist lanyard in combination with, Sinjimoru Phone Grip Credit Card Holder with Phone Stand ( I chose the silicone version), https://www.amazon.com/Sinjimoru-Credit-Holder-Silicone-Midnight/dp/B0854FTVFP/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 which works perfectly on my Samsung Note 9 in an Ottebox Symmetry Case. Though the product pictures primarily show just using a couple of fingers to hold the phone - it actually stretches enough that I can put my whole hand through, holding the phone in my open hand so I can look at the phone face to see the map or whatever other info I want to at a glance while I am speed-walking, without fearing I may drop the phone, no matter how I might shake it. Now, I am female and with relatively small hands for 5'3" but there is still a lot more stretch room left for a larger hand -- but the material stays very snug around my hand, without cutting off any circulation. 3. Then I put in the other items listed above in the various pockets of the FlipBelt Level Terrain Zipper Edition https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CH0CXQO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I was between sizes and found the larger one more comfortable - and though it slipped a bit, not by very much, tighter was not as comfortable. I prefer to put the credit cards, Driver's License, cash, etc in the zippered pocket of the FlipBelt rather than in the cardholder of the Phone Grip, tho I am sure the cards and cash would be safe in the Phone Grip. I just feel it is much less likely that a thief would be able to steal the Flipbelt off me in broad Daylight than perhaps in a fly-by action - cutting the lanyard *and* pulling the phone and phone grip off my hand at the same time while running by - tho I sincerely doubt the latter could happen with any feasibility. 4. And finally, for my water, I use FlipBelt's Water Bottles https://www.amazon.com/FlipBelt-Water-Bottle-11-Ounce/dp/B01ESTP0J4/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1F6AFSLLBJBL7&dchild=1&keywords=flipbelt+running+belt+with+water+bottle&qid=1594441055&sprefix=Water+Bottles+flipb%2Caps%2C186&sr=8-3 , either the 11 oz or 6 oz, though I prefer the 11 oz in this heat. I fill them half full with my bottled water and freeze them. When I take one out for my "city hike", I fill it up with my chilled bottled water from the fridge. The bottle fits snugly and very stably - because of the curve - in the FlipBelt pocket - easy to pull out and put back in. And in this heat, the ice helps keep me slightly cooler - but honestly, the ice is all melted and the water almost normal temperature by the end of my walk. I am soaking wet at the end from sweat; so is my Flipbelt - but everything else - in my FlipBelt or my hand - is absolutely safe and dry. And I walk with all the speed and flourish I want because I feel like I am carrying nothing the whole while... free as a bird :-) I hope this helps!

The wrist band seems very sturdy. After several months of use it doesn't look like it'll fall off anytime soon. Minor issue is that the tab slightly blocks the charging port slightly on my Pixel phone, but that might be because I have a bulky case. I have to tug on the wrist band and pull it all the way to the side in order to fully fit the USB-C into the charging port (or else the charger won't fit properly and will just fall out of the port). Once I got used to this, it didn't really become a problem for me anymore, so I'm still giving it 5 stars. UPDATE: After about 7 months of use, the wrist strap came off. As shown in the picture, the metal ring started coming apart and created a gap that allowed it to slip off. I've managed to attach it again and tighten it with pliers, so we'll see how it holds up.

It works pretty good

This lanyard is very useful. I love being able to secure my phone by wearing it around my neck while walking the dogs . I never worry about dropping my phone while outdoors with the dogs or losing it or having it fall out of my pocket. Those days are over!

Perfect for wearing the phone around my neck when traveling - readily handy without having to hold it.

works for a month then it rips off. so not durable

Purchased for upcoming travel when I know I will want to be able to clip my phone to lanyard, wristlet (comes with both), or perhaps clip something onto the phone, such as a key, that I don't want to lose. I was concerned that placing the flat holder between my phone and the case would interfere with ability to use charging pad. I am happy to say that it does NOT interfere with charging on a pad, and it is still easy to insert charging cable. I have had it secured between the phone and case for a couple of weeks now. So far I did not use the adhesive feature; initially because I was not sure whether to stick it to the phone or the case, but it is very secure without even using the adhesive. Photos are of the loop that is attached to the phone/case, the lanyards clip to it. The loop is close to the charging cable port, but the charging cable is still easily fully inserted. The fabric tab that holds the loop seems very sturdy.

An excellent way to carry your phone and keep it from falling into the toilet or over a wall while taking a video. You never have to use the "find me" function. The drop factor goes almost to zero.

Très pratique quand vous voyager et que vous ne voulez pas le perdre, l’oublier ou vous le faire voler. Un jour, j’ai oublié mon cell sur le bras d’un fauteuil à l’aéroport Charles De Gaules. Je m’en suis rendu compte au moment de l’embarquement. Tout était dans mon cell, je n’avais rien imprimé. J’ai vécu le pire moment de panique de ma vie. Après ça, je me suis dit, plus jamais ça ne m’arrivera. Je l’ai acheté il y a 2 ans pour un voyage en Grèce. Il est encore apres mon cell depuis tout ce temps. Je ne m’en sers pas tout le temps car faut quand même supporter le poids du cell mais c’est quand même pratique. Il est bien fait. Il y a une partie que vous collez à l’endos de votre téléphone. Moi je l’ai glisse sous ma coque protectrice alors inutile de vous dire que c’est bien accroché. Mais la chose la plus importante à mon avis, c’est que je peux brancher mon cell sans devoir enlever la coque. Ce n’est pas possible avec tous les modèles de ganses.

This is a great product. My husband can't destroy it. He absolutely decimated the one I originally bought for our phones (Mine's fine, he's really hard on stuff). So this has absolutely held up and I highly recommend this for anyone who needs something sturdy. The product is exactly as described. I received the long and the short and the adhesive pad. The pad was easy to install and works great. Zero movement. It's there and it's not going anywhere. The metal pieces are good quality metal and do not bend. All in all I 100% recommend this.

***edit. Unfortunately the thingy that I need to put inside my phone case to hold the strap has folded a little and blocks the charger port and the headphone port etc. I cant use it anymore. This should have been made of a material that doesnt bend. Dont buy this. I misunderstood and thought it was a two pack of neck lanyards but they mean ONE neck lanyard and ONE wrist strap. No biggie haha I absolutely LOVE this. I switched from a very small phone to a HUGE phone, and was having trouble keeping it with me since it was difficult to fit in my pocket or in my bra where I usually tucked my small phone. Ironically I bought a phone case that is exactly the color of the stock photo (light blue/green ish) so my phone looks exactly like the stock photo. I thought I'd look like a nerd wearing my phone around my neck but it actually looks cool. The lanyard feels sturdy. I'm not entirely confident in the hardware (the clasp things) but every lanyard I looked at had the same hardware. I really like this and I hope it holds up to everyday wear!

Great way to hang on to your phone. works just like I hoped. Quality could be a bit better but I still reccommend the product

Bought this for a trip and loved the lanyard so much I left it on when I got home! It helps me find my phone in my purse, and is awesome to hang off my arm when shopping
