Gear Beast Cell Phone Lanyard - Universal Mobile Phone Lanyard with Case Holder, Card Pocket, Soft Neck Strap, and Adjustable Clip - Compatible with iPhone, Galaxy & Most Smartphones - Starry Night

Most seniors or handicap person should have one just in case they fall and need to call 911

This handy cellphone holder gave me peace of mind on my recent cruise vacation. I like to take a lot of pictures and sometimes that involves holding my phone over the water, or in other precarious places. With this item, I had insurance that I wasn't going to lose my phone into the ocean, down a mountain, off the Space Needle, etc. I'm very glad I made this last minute purchase before my vacation. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it has both benefits and drawbacks. A benefit is that it held my iPhone 13 Pro Max while inside the Tech21 case that I always use. I didn't want to be switching my phone in and out of the everyday thin case that I use.The drawbacks are that the corner pieces that hold the phone in will also partially block functions at the corners of your screen. That's fairly easily handled by just rolling the strap to the side for a second while you tap what's beneath it. The part that was more annoying is that in order to get the credit card holder to stay out of the way of my camera lens, the straps stretched over the side buttons of my phone. The straps then sometimes took random pictures using the side buttons. And, I had to turn off the emergency calling using the side buttons because the straps pushing on the buttons almost called 911.Overall, I think that these drawbacks were completely worth it for me to be able to quickly access my phone and to have the insurance that it would not be dropped and lost or broken. I would like to see one without the credit card holder though. I tested it and it felt secure because the silicone grabbed the card. However, there was no way I was going to use an open-ended pocket that flipped upside down frequently, no matter what.

After I got it I was hesitant it might not last. The fit on an iphone in an Otter box is quite tight. The loops are stretched after you put in the phone. But they are holding up surprisingly well. Finally I can take the phone along when I don't have pockets to put it in. It has a sleeve in the back to put your credit card or ID in. Not big enough for both, but very useful nevertheless. I didn't need a handbag during the pandemic and could wipe it all off with wipes. The only issue I have with it is that on an iphone it will block the volume up and down buttons. When you are on hold the music is always blasting, but when you get the human they are a lot quieter, so you keep having to fiddle with the volume. It's possible to get at the buttons by moving the rubber bands a bit. But it's slightly inconvenient. Sometimes that corner will pop off. For work I add a strap around my chest so the phone doesn't swing on the lanyard. Not a great look, but it works and I don't miss calls and can do stuff while on hold with my hands free. Bought on a whim with my fingers crossed and so happy I did get it. Highly recommend.

I thought it would be cool because it goes on all four sides and hung around my neck but every time I try to use it the plastic on the corners interfered with my screen.

This messed up my phone. Called random people when walking, one time my phone dialed emergency due to where the little corners are on the phone. A waste! Very disappointed.

Satisfied

I like the idea of this, but I would not buy another one. It interferes with my iphone 10 camera on a lot of shots where I need full length pic, and I have to take the corners off all the time and pull it down. Defeats the purpose for me, as picture taking was the main reason I wanted it. And it probably won't last long since I have to pull the corner bands off all the time. Another reason I chose this one was for the wide lanyard strap that is more like other lanyards I've used that were comfortable...... something about having a rubber band around my neck getting tangled in my hair doesn't sound too appealing. Unfortunately, the material they use is so slick that I can adjust it to fit and literally within a few minutes it has slid back down to the bottom because the buckle can't hold on to it. Also, the buckles are poor quality. They are thin and have sharp edges that irritate and scratch your neck. Overall a good concept, but it misses the mark and I would not buy another.

I wanted a way to keep my phone on me where it's easy to use. This product solved that issue. It's light weight and hangs around your neck. It's easy to stretch the four conners around my cell phone. It comes in different colors that will compliment anything you put on. You won't regret buying this phone carrier.

So adaptable, better than just in a pocket

Covers the camera while phone is in

i love the idea of these, i always can find my phone now, only thing is they are very tight on the newer phones such as the s9, s20 fe and so on, worked better on the smaller iphones and the s4 style phones, make them bigger and more stretchy please

This item is not made for the iPhone 11. Once attached to the phone the rubber was very stressed. This will probably break after a few uses.
