Nite Ize Hitch Phone Anchor & Tether - Durable, Coiled Phone Tether for Everyday & Outdoor Use - Adventure-Proof Design for Drop & Theft Protection - Compatible with Corded & Wireless Charging

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.

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

This thing is great!!! I actually used it to tether my wallet to my purse. I left my wallet at the mall and gladly it was turned in by an employeeand I got it back, but never again!!

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.

Great idea Works very well Good for people on the go, so they don't lose their phones

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.

Phone saver! My wife dropped her phone in the lake while fishing. I then bought both of us one. We leave it on year round. Doesn't get in the way at all and does exactly what it's supposed to.

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.

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!

I am very happy with the lanyard. Love the security and convenience it offers. I am looking forward to using it on my next travel plan. Attaches securely to belt or bag. I have a sturdy identity wrist bracelet that I can attach the lanyard to that means it is not able to be snatched out of my hand.Best investment. Now no fears of dropping my phone or having it snatched .

Did exactly what it advertised. Recommend.

Terrible and expensive

Does the job & works as intended
