You often buy a phone strap based on a vibe (“oh, that color!”), but with this checklist you’ll avoid bad buys. Here’s how to choose the strap that fits your daily use.
Type of phone strap
There are three popular favorites: long straps (crossbody/around the neck), short straps (great as a wrist strap), and chains (more of a fashion statement). Not sure? Start with a long, adjustable one—it’s the most versatile.
Length and adjustability
Length determines comfort. Long (around 120–150 cm) is great for on the go, short (around 11–25 cm) is perfect if you hold your phone a lot. Adjustable is even better: crossbody today, a bit shorter tomorrow.
Material and wearing comfort
Sturdy rope/nylon feels practical and sporty, while beads or rhinestones give a playful luxe vibe. Pay attention to how it feels on your skin, especially if you wear it for long periods. And yes: phone straps are trendy—but they should feel good too.
Attachment and compatibility (with or without a case)
Most phone straps are used with a case + adapter card. Already have a case you want to keep? Then definitely check this explanation: buy a phone strap without a case. Want step-by-step instructions for attaching it? This is helpful: how to attach a phone strap.
Safety in everyday use
A phone strap is meant to prevent drop damage—so always check that the clip closes properly and do a quick tug test. Heading to a festival or a crowded city? Then this is a seriously smart choice.
Frequently asked questions about a phone strap
Do I really need a phone strap?
If you drop your phone often, spend a lot of time on the go, or simply want your hands free: yes. It saves stress, searching, and the risk of a cracked screen. Bonus: phone straps are also a fun style upgrade.
Does a phone strap work without a special case?
Usually yes. With a transparent attachment card, you can turn your own case into a “phone strap case” in just a few steps. Check the explanation on buy a phone strap without a case.
Which length is ideal?
That depends on how you use it: long (around 120–150 cm) is great for crossbody and on the go, short (around 11–25 cm) is compact and convenient as a wrist strap. Many people get two: one long and one short phone strap.
Is a phone strap safe for my phone?
Yes, as long as you attach it properly and occasionally check that everything is secure. Always test that the clip/hook locks firmly. With a solid attachment, you actually reduce the chance of dropping it.
Should I DIY one or is it better to buy?
DIY is possible, but with a phone strap it’s all about reliability. A ready-made strap with a sturdy hook and good attachment is usually the safest (and honestly: the most fun) option.
What if I want to switch between different phone straps?
That’s exactly the fun part: you can unclip it and attach another one in seconds. Handy if you have multiple styles (basic on weekdays, glitter on weekends)—and Telefoonkoordshop regularly adds new designs.
