If there’s one thing most people don’t leave behind, it is their phones. Consider the contacts you store in your phone, cashless payments, maps, riding apps, emails, social media accounts, and so much more functions we can no longer live without. A smartphone is indeed a necessity nowadays, but you only realise how important it is until you’ve lost it. 

Which you don’t want to happen. 

And this is why you need a smartphone lanyard so that your phone remains in your person at all times. 

But how do you even use a mobile phone lanyard? Allow us to walk you through this fashionably chic but also highly functional phone accessory.

What is a phone lanyard?

A lanyard is a strap or cord that comes with an attachment, like an ID, but in this case, a smartphone. So you’re basically wearing your phone as you would your ID to ensure that your phone remains accessible at all times. 

But smartphone lanyards are now very innovative and come in a wide array of styles and designs. In fact, you could purchase a crossbody phone case with an attached lanyard already so that both of them match. We love how this Desert Sand Cross Body Phone Case Plus Strap is subtle and low-key stylish. It can be worn by any gender with any type of outfit!

How do you use a phone lanyard?

So, here are ways to use a mobile phone lanyard: 

• Loop the lanyard to a notch on your phone. Older phone models usually have a notch in a corner. This is where you loop your lanyard in and create a knot. Once you’ve done that, you can wear the phone on your neck hands-free. 
• Use an especially designed phone case that works with a phone lanyard. The first option is not always applicable since most people use smartphones nowadays. Also, you want to use a phone case to prevent shock and damage to your phone. 
• Fortunately, you can find phone cases and strap bundles in every imaginable colour. The straps are detachable, so you can use the phone as is. But you could also use a wearable smartphone case to secure your phone in your body.

And did you know that the strap for this crossbody phone case is changeable? You can wear one with a gold chain, pearl phone chain, phone strap, or phone belt. There’s always something for every mood or event! 

• Opt for a wristlet. Another way to use a smartphone lanyard is to wear it as a wristlet. Attaching the wristlet is the same as attaching a lanyard, only that you wear the phone on your wrist instead of on your neck. Wearing a wristlet gives you full and constant access to your phone. It also helps prevent accidental drops because the phone clings to your wrist if you let go of it. Whether you’re going shopping or attending a formal event, these wristlets are some of the stylish smartphone accessories you spend money on!

Plenty of unpleasant things could happen if you’re not holding or wearing your phone. You could drop it, or it could get stolen. And if you don’t want to go through the hassle of replacing your smartphone and its cost, you could take the more affordable route and secure it with a mobile phone lanyard. 

Whether you want it around your neck, across your body, or on your wrist, you can always find a fun lanyard that can do the job. Check out the full lineup at Louve Collection online.
