Phone straps

Why a phone strap

A strap keeps your phone on you without a pocket: at a gig, on a trip, on the bike or when your hands are full of shopping bags. The phone hangs on your body or wrist, it is harder to drop, and you can take a photo straight away without digging through a bag.

Crossbody Strap or Wrist Strap

• Crossbody Strap. Adjustable from roughly 108 to 208 cm: stainless-steel sliders and embedded magnets hold the length you set and keep the strap from twisting. The pick when you want both hands free.
• Wrist Strap. A short loop of about 39 cm with flexible magnets. The phone stays in your palm and hangs from your wrist if it slips. The same strap also fits the AirPods Pro 3 charging case.

Both are woven from 100% recycled PET yarn and come in several colours.

How the strap attaches

The strap does not attach to the phone itself but to the anchor points along the bottom edge of a case. Apple's own cases have them from the iPhone 17 series on; the magnets inside the strap only set the length and do not hold the phone. Check that your case has strap anchors before you buy.
