Gear Beast Cell Phone Lanyard - Universal Neck Phone Holder w/Card Pocket and Silicone Neck Strap (Black)

Worked great on my cell. Hands free !

I bought this for a recent trip where I wanted to make sure I didn't lose my cell phone. The type of holders that dangle from the charger port did not work on my phone, so this holder was the only other option that I thought might work. I found it to be durable, surviving the daily removal/reinsertions that I put it through. On the other hand, the reason I had to remove it so often was because the corners of the silicone holder get in the way of phone usage. It was particularly problematic with any application using the camera -- photos as well as scanning items for translation. Overall, it was better than having no precaution at all again leaving my phone somewhere by accident. It also worked for my 10-year-old son.

Love this for my Dad who is older. When he's outside or on the mower or in the barn his phone is always with him. Just pop it down your shirt and it's there when you need it. I love it for the safety of my Dad having his phone ON HIM at all times. It gives him a little more freedom and I feel better knowing he has a phone if he falls or something. I have one myself and it's great for ball games, sports, festivals and anywhere you want your phone on you so you don't have to take a purse or bag or worry about it losing it. Great for gardeners too!! Or for walking trails etc.

Final Update: Since someone asked a question, and I saw some new reviews, I will make one final update. I went to Tokyo again, and it came in handy as before. However, I forgot to mention, that this will make your phone bounce off your chest constantly. I didn't notice at first, since I had a jacket on, and just put my coat over it. Also, you bend over more than your realize, so take note that your phone will swing into doors, walls, or whatever. If you want something to keep your hands free at certain events or trips, than this is for you. If you think you'll be wearing this around your neck everywhere. I promise you won't. I still use it, but I still end up keeping my phone in my back pocket at the end of the day. However, I have the strap for extra security. I guess for 10 bucks it won't hurt to try. Update: Ok I decided to rase this one more star. I'm starting to like it more, but just can't get over the straps being in the way all the time. I took a trip to Tokyo, and my hands were always full with bags, coat, or umbrella. But the whole time I was sure I wouldn't drop my phone, thanks to my phone strapped to my wrist. I really like the clip that is on this thing. It's actually the best part of this product. You can attach it to almost anything. On the train, I would hang my phone on the hook on the seat in front of me. At work I would hang it on a hook also. I would just find little things that I liked to do with the phone rather than have it smashed in my pocket or forget I had it someplace and end up dropping it. I mentioned that I lost my necklace in my original review on the bottom. Well, I happened to find a better necklace at the local store. It was made of a strong cloth like materiel, but it had an O ring at the bottom. PERFECT!!!! Also, you could adjust the length to your liking. So if that came with this, it would have been a match made in heaven. I did use the card holder for my train card in Tokyo, and even tho it didn't work well because of the rubber I'm guessing, it was so much easier to slip it out the phone than dig in my pockets looking for it. It was snug inside, so my fears of loosing it went away fast. If they could fix the strap blocking the screen, include a better neck piece that is adjustable, and has an O ring at the bottom. This would be the best product out there. However there isn't much to choose from, so this might be the only best option IMO. Also, I walked around with my phone on my neck about two hours. In general it isn't as comfortable as I thought. But maybe it will get some getting used to. Anyway original review on the bottom. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At first I loved this thing. I actually bought some wrist straps, and used it instead of the included rubber necklace. Then I lost it!! So I wore that for a good 10 sec, but honestly it wasn't as comfortable to begin with, hence why I decided to use the wrist strap. Then the novelty wore off fast. But the real problem with this, and why I gave it 2 stars is for one simple reason. IT GETS IN THE WAY!!! It's so annoying to have four "straps" cover your screen. I tried to pull it further to the edges, but all it will do is increase or decrease your volume on your phone, since it will be pressing the buttons on the side of the phone. I know the picture shows that it covers the screen, but I didn't think it would bother me as much as it does. You will miss click things on your phone all the time, or it will block out stuff you want to see "obviously". If this was a custom fit for your phone, it would have worked 100% better, and easily got a five star. But this became more annoying than anything, and not really practical. If you get it Pokemon go, it might be ok, since you just really need the middle screen anyway, but like I said. I lost the neck strap before I could even try it. On the plus side, it did make me feel 100% better knowing that I couldn't drop my phone. I just need to keep on the search for something that doesn't cover the screen.

I have a Pixel 9. It's a little tight but I managed to get it on. Doubtful the corners will roll off & let my phone crash to the pavement - thank goodness.

Nice concept, but will soon break on any larger smartphone (over ~5" diagonal). These silicon phone holders, although offered by myriad sellers, surely come from the same manufacturer, and must be designed for smaller iPhones, as, with no evident defect in manufacturing, mine snapped on the third time I put it on. The quick-detach metal latch and neck lanyard are nice and usable for other things, and for a lanyard, snap-able silicon is a safety feature to reduce strangulation risk. The back section can be trimmed or cut out pretty tidily to expose buttons it might otherwise cover.

The problem with most cell phone holders/laynards is that you have to dig your phone out of them, or they have a touch screen which sometimes doesn't work very well...This design lets you easily see your screen and text/talk effortlessly. Your phone is secure with the 4 corner holders and its easy to remove your phone completely when you want to. The back has a sleeve for money or a credit card. The laynard is long enough to also wear this as a 'sling' under your arm. Since at work I must carry my phone with me its been a life saver as I don't misplace my phone yet I can eas;y see the screen and answer or send messages/calls. This also is of a neoprene type material which you can easily clean. Fantastic idea and product! I'm buying these for Christmas gifts next year theyre that good!

It works but the straps press the cellphone side buttons. I have to constantly move the straps to prevent it from turning up/down the volume, a little frustrating so 4 stars.
