iPhone cases with a lanyard?

Hello,

I use my iPhone for recording video and taking pictures a lot, but I'm afraid of dropping it while doing so. Sometimes I hold my hand out far and it feels risky!

Does anyone know of a case with a wrist lanyard attached? Or how I could make one myself? I've tried finding one on google, but haven't had any luck so far.

Thanks. 🙂

The one by lanskin is okay, that's pretty much what I am looking for! 😀 Any others like that around?

I was going to buy this one fro Voi, but they're not compatible with the verizon model. Disappointing, as it was really perfect. http://4voi.com/products/interim/ After an email with them, it looks like it won't come out for a while. 😟

Hmm.. the 30 pin connector one is a good idea, not sure I'd want to trust it though. ^_^

I use the 30-pin connector one at the gym, when lifting weights. I wouldn't use it on the treadmill, etc, and have the iPhone bouncing around. But it feels secure enough for "light duty", like this, or while doing housework. It comes with a shorter lanyard, supposedly for your wrist. I've looped it around a belt loop when carrying my phone in a pocket that didn't seem deep enough to be secure, as insurance. Again, I wouldn't swing it around like they show on their website, or give it to children . . .

My mom has some strong-glue velcro tape (the fuzzy side is adhesive) that sticks on a surface and will NOT come off until you want it to. I always make my own lanyard by looping a piece of braid, tying a knot or two, and putting that adhesive tape it. I used to just tape it to my iPhone, which was a great solution. However, once, I dropped the iPhone exactly flush to an asphalt surface and the glass cracked. So now I attach the piece of braid to the back of a case.


If Apple would include a slight rim around the front edge of the iPhone (so the glass can't fall flat and crack) and a dimple to attach a lanyard, we could use the devices in their slimness and beauty. The glass resists scratching just fine. It's DROPPING the phone that is the issue. I think it's crazy to make such beautiful designs knowing that customers will have to totally cover them up.


Back to the adhesive-backed velcro. (I don't know where you would buy it. Ours came from the ambulance service when my sister worked there.) I can also attach the other piece to my dashboard of the car and make a place for the iPhone to hang.
