Hitch Phone Anchor and Tether - Anti-Theft Cell Phone Lanyard Accessories - Phone Case Anchor & Tether for Drop Protection - Black Tether

I have used this phone tether for sketchy hikes and skiing where dropping my phone would make it impossible to retrieve. The cord doesnt stretch super far if you have it attached to your belt loops: it's enough for normal use, but maybe not for taking pictures from any angle you want. The caribiners themselves do have a sort of locking feature, I did notice one time it unclipped from my jacket, but I think it was user error. Overall this lanyard works well and the carabiners are good quality like you would expect from nite ize

Yes, I would buy this again. The locks do not come with instructions but I got it figured out pretty quickly. They really are secure. I wore my phone as a wristlet on a train trip where we rode outside and wanted to hang our phones over the edge for photos. People were pointing at my wristlet and wished they had one, too. I could still put it in my pocket or cross body bag. It fits on your wrist snugly, but not tight (no marks) and relieves the fear of dropping your phone. Husband had one, too, for Paris & London. Did not wear as wrist strap but hooked to belt loop and kept phone in his pocket. I am delighted to say we were not pickpocketed. Apparently, iphones are prime targets for pick pockets.

Bought one to secure my phone while on a cruise and land trip to Italy. Worked great and kept my phone from falling when taking pictures over the edge of the ship and at other locations, where dropping the phone ment it was gone. It was comfortable to have on around my wrist. My wife also had this on her phone during the trip and had no complaints. I am positive it kept both our phones from being snatched multiple times in some tourist areas.

I'm on my seventh Nite Ize Hitch Phone Anchor and have another one ready to order when this one wears out. I primarily use the coiled tether to secure my phone to my wrist while skiing, working outdoors, and for general use around the house. What I love: The coil length is perfect, the clips are strong and secure, and the overall design is incredibly convenient for keeping my phone accessible but protected. It does exactly what I need it to do. The trade-off: The small fabric tab that connects the metal carabiner clips to the coiled tether is the weak point. With my regular use across various conditions, this fabric loop eventually wears through and separates after about 6-7 months. This is the only reason it's not a 5-star review. Bottom line: At $14.60, I consider this reasonable value for a product I use daily in demanding conditions. The fact that I keep reordering tells you everything - it's the best solution I've found, even with the predictable wear point. If you need a reliable phone tether and don't mind replacing it twice a year with heavy use, I definitely recommend it.

The stretchy tether attaches to a large flat plastic card that fits inside the case. No adhesive, so it doesn't mark the phone. The loop to which you attach the tether feeds out through the opening for the charge cable doesn't block that. Once in, it's in - stretches some but won't come out (and I really tried). It can be looped to wear around the wrist or the spring carabiner can attach to a belt loop. The carabiners are very tight and even a little difficult to take on and off. I'm pretty sure your belt loop will rip off before this thing does. Nobody's sliding your phone out of your pocket with this on.

I have to get my phone out of my ski jacket regularly for work. No longer worry about dropping it from the chair. The connection is really clever and I like that I don’t have to stick anything to my phone.

I've never used a phone tether so there's been a learning curve. I like being able to fasten the phone to my purse or use the tether as a bracelet. It feels very secure. I've used a particular brand of low profile phone case for many years and have only had a problem when my phone landed face down on a rock. That cracked the screen protector. After using this tether for 2 weeks, I have multiple screen protector cracks even though the phone has not been dropped or handled roughly. The tab for the tether lifts the phone in the case enough that the edges of the screen protector are exposed and much more prone to abrasions on the edges. I suspect it is also placing pressure on the back of the phone cause extra tension inside the case. I will have to stop using it.

On a recent trip overseas, I had my phone in my hand most of the day, every day, in a city that has recently become notorious for phone snatchers. The design gives the flexibility to attach this to an item (bag, pants, etc) or loop around your wrist, but I ended up using it around my wrist most of the time. My wrist is around 7"/17.8cm circumference and looping the strap once around my wrist felt fairly secure, looping it twice felt a bit tight, but completely secure. As far as installation, I thought that this wouldn't work well since it doesn't stick onto the phone or case, but in reality, the card behind the phone inside the case is a perfect design, and there's pretty much no way it's coming loose unless the strap or attachment point breaks.

This was a life saver during my holiday and made it easy to carry my phone around when I needed to have my hands free!

Endlich keine Angst mehr, dass das Handy im Bus runterfällt, aus meiner Sicht viel besser als eine Schlaufe zum Umhängen um den Hals

Did exactly what it advertised. Recommend.

Terrible and expensive

L'ancoraggio per cellulare della nite ize fa il suo lavoro, puoi tenerlo al polso per avere il telefono subito a disposizione oppure assicurarlo ad un passante dei pantaloni per tenerlo in sicurezza, considerando però che il cavo è un normalissimo braccialetto in plastica avvolto a molla e che il nastrino che fuoriesce dalla parte inferiore del telefono dopo un certo utilizzo comincia a sfilacciarsi (ma per ora regge ancora) direi che il costo di oltre 20 euro è esagerato, 10/15 euro sarebbe più corretto come prezzo.
