Frog’s Tung Tactical Military Grade Cable Safety Tether Compatable with iPhone, Galaxy, All Smartphones, Tablets and Mobile Devices

Tethering a phone or other small gadget is a hard problem to solve when it does not have a built-in attachment point. The Frog's Tung seems like one of the better solutions out there, but there are some caveats. 1) I wouldn't use it without a case around the phone or device. 2) The case needs to be flexible to allow room for the tether plate. 3) The Tether plate comes with the end of the string flush with the plate. This provides a slightly lower profile, but the string could slip between the plate and device, then disconnect entirely. I pulled the string over the tab (as seen in my picture) resulting in a more secure attachment, but a higher profile.If the tab had a notch on the top side (like the channel for the rest of the string does) and the string was secured to the tab (like I did), this would solve both the issue of the security of the string attachment point and the higher profile.After the recommended 15 minute wait time, I did a few test drops, and I'm pretty confident in the security of an accidental drop (I work on the side of skyscrapers, bridges, and dams). I placed the tether plate on the phone, not on the case like some users. I want to be able to change cases if needed and leave the tether plate on the phone. As mentioned earlier, I would not use this without a case. A case provides more security by keeping the tether plate pressed against the phone, and if the tether plate did start to slip, it would hopefully jam up against the edge of the case, stopping it from coming off completely. We shall see...

I have been looking for something like this for a few years. It works great. I put it on my 6+ on the back at the bottom on the side near the speaker and put my protective case back on the phone. I pushed the clip through the speaker slot and it is very secure. Even if the glue should come off, the slot will hold the plastic plate in place. Love it. I have been wearing it with the hook clipped onto the coil, and the coil wrapped around my wrist like a camera strap. Now, when I am looking at my lists while shopping, I won't accidentally drop the phone. I like that it has a small clip, so if you don't need the coil you can unclip it. What a brilliant simple idea. You can also easily swap out the spring attachment for a light carabiner that you can hang on a belt, or a backpack.

Don't use this for any sporting activities.I cleaned and dried my phone, attached the leash, and let it rest overnight. The next day I gave it a few solid tugs and the adhesive came right off. I would not trust this leash to save my phone if I were to take a fall climbing, surfing, or skiing. The intended use for this may be for the forgetful that tend to leave their phone behind. In that case you'd be better off using tape and some cord instead of spending $20 on a "leash".

came quick. yanked the hell out of it and nothing seemed to give at all. slightly concerned with how the adhesive will affect my device upon eventual removal, but I would say my device is perfectly secure. Point of note, i have a phone case that covers the adhesive area, and the lanyard clip part of the Frog's Tung dangles out of the power cord cut-out, but it does not interfere with the power outlet area at all.UPDATEThe string portion came unknotted in the first week, rendering the leash useless :( perhaps knotted string is not the best solution for attachment. A little re engineering could solve this pitfall. stars are awarded for quick and helpful customer service and a no hassle return.

I read a number of reviews about the small pad and weak adhesive, and I concur. I wouldn't trust it. It feels strong at first but one good yank and the string-side of the pad will easily pry up. If your phone has any kind of a curved or textured surface then you may want to skip this product. However, if you use a case with your phone then you might be able to duplicate my solution.My solution to the 'pad problem' was to install the plastic pad, not on my phone, but on the inside of my case. I threaded the buckle through the USB port hole. Since the plastic pad is too large to come through the port hole, it's completely secure. The adhesive in this case isn't doing much more than preventing the pad from slipping, but that's fine. The string doesn't interfere with plugging in the USB for charging.Barring any other unforeseen issues, like the plastic breaking, the knot slipping, or the string failing, I'm now very confident about taking my phone out skiing and on other outdoor adventures.

This cell phone saver is amazing!!

Item described by seller as is. I found that it did not work for my electronic devices, the adhesive on the plastic plate did not stick very well, it came right off when device was in use, and did not feel confident about the very thin string that connects the coiled leash to plastic base to withstand weight of the mobile devices that are recommended by seller and item is very pricey, however I did find it very useful for my wallet, works great on light items.
