Nite Ize Hitch Phone Anchor & Lanyard – Secure Cell Phone - Anchor & Quick-Release Lanyard for Drop Protection & Convenience – Black

I had purchased one of these back when I got my hearing aids since the microphone on my phone had to be used. My hearing aids could receive the callers voice but did not have bluetooth microphone to pick up my voice for a caller to hear so the phone has to be close by.

Purchased this for a vacation on a photo safari so I could keep my phone camera handy while also being able to have my hands on my Panasonic Lumix. It worked very well and I always knew where my phone was and didn't need to worry about dropping it as it was always attached to me. Very good for when you are a woman and don't always have quality pockets in your clothes (Give Us Pockets!). It allowed me to easily hide the phone inside my jacket while keeping it attached to my person when in crowded areas as well. I will probably use it every time I travel (it was very convenient for digital boarding passes) and the clip system seems very sturdy. I also really like that the S-biner has a little lock function to make it very difficult for someone to sneakily unclip the phone from the lanyard. The insert that goes behind the phone in the case to provide the little ring for the S-biner is only compatible with a full case that goes all the way around the edges of the phone.NOTE: I have an iPhone 8 and a spigen case with some flex so I was easily able to access the charging port with the anchor installed behind the phone between it and the case, but my sister's Google Pixel has a hard case so she had to pop it out of the case to charge it as the anchor pushed the port forward just enough to not align properly with the charging port hole in her case. It was annoying when we had to pop it out of the case to charge it in the car while using her phone for navigation. But this issue is more about the cases we had than this lanyard system. Just something to consider when deciding if you want to use this type of anchor that mounts inside a third party case.

I’ve used these for years. I do suggest to wear something to place the phone on or around your neck so it isn’t just hanging. If you leave it hanging loosely without a place to lighten the weight of the phone, the small ribbon that holds it will break. I always make sure I have a place to relieve some of the weight Hanging Down. It’s length is long enough to fit in my coat pocket.

Like the quick release. Wish it was longer or adjustable length. The constant rubbing caused abrasion on my cotton t shirts. If it was longer I could take tucked phone in my pocket instead of hanging.

I bought one and then everyone that sees me wearing it wants one - laugh so now I’ve bought 5 of them. Installation is easy and for my iPhone 14 Pro Max with the Apple leather case, I just placed the adhesive square between the back of the phone and the case and fed the fabric and small ring through the charging port opening in the case - I didn’t need to use the adhesive and it is removable if needed. At first I would put it on and off over my head but it is easier to put it on and leave the loop over your head and release the buckle at the bottom leaving about 4 inches attached to the phone. And if needed I release the small metal mini carabiner from the small ring - like to carry it in the Niteyze waterproof neck bag on the beach.When it is attached and not around my neck it makes it easier to grab like a leash - off the nightstand for example.At first I wanted an adjustment to shorten it but found when walking and it is bouncing, I can easily tuck it under one arm and hold it there.I don’t have to worry about dropping and breaking the phone anymore.

I have a Samsung Galaxy s20, for reference. I looked at several different phone anchor manufacturers and read carefully through many before selecting the Nite Ize Hitch. I ordered this late last night and it arrived in the early afternoon today! I was concerned about the fit of my phone case after reading some reviews where people had issues with the phone popping out because my phone fits pretty snugly already. So I popped the phone out last night and stuck my driver's license in there and then reinserted the phone and it was okay, so I took a chance and ordered it. I installed it without even using the adhesive and it is holding tight! I got the lanyard attachment instead of the coil or the stretchy and short silicone lanyard attachment. This better suits my personal needs and I think is stronger and will last longer than the others would. I have arthritis and my hands are not small, and I was able to work the lock on the s-biner just fine. 2 pictures shown with the charging cable attached and charging (1), with the lanyard in the photo for more detail (2), and then with the case closed so you can see how well it all fits (3). I feel the price is very reasonable considering the features and details listed above and I would definitely recommend this Nite Ize brand of anchor to anyone with a similar phone.

I use these to hold my phone on a cross body strap. The previous one from Nite Ize lasted for 4 years before the fabric loop looked like it might break. This one now looks like it's ready to go in less than a year. Very disappointed

This is just what I was looking for. I want a way to secure my phone so it won't be dropped during active travels. I can wear it around my neck and it will stay ready to use without fear of dropping it. I can also loop the lanyard around a belt loop and keep the phone in my pocket. I always trust and enjoy Nite Ize products. Perfect!
