Save Your Phone with a Lanyard - Easy DIY Works for All Brands

[@redshepard5306]

your intro made me want to make wind chimes out of all my old cellphones

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

That would be interesting for sure.

[@fiveseven817]

Great job on the video and sharing your ideas with strangers. I'll be borrowing this idea, thanks!

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

You're welcome, it's easy!

[@marklugo6528]

Thank you for the very creative and resourceful options.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

You are so welcome! Let me know how yours turn out.

[@tomjenni1555]

So easy! Thank you for sharing.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

You're welcome , I recently refined the design but all are still working great. Stay tuned for the update.

I really love your explanations, humor and great DIY ideas!👍😊 I now understood that these soft TPU cases won't work with lanyards. Unfortunately these are my favourites.😅 I now wonder if I should buy a case like that of your children with the hard case having bumber corners. I worry though about the thickness and the magnetic ring at the back that most seem to have. I am using a metal stand and fear it would be annoying to get it out because of the magnet. Don't know...🤔 Have loved my TPU case just too much.😅

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

You see all the variations I have here and none of the soft cases have failed yet, and I bang them around a good bit.

Great suggestions. I was just looking at one to keep my phone when kayaking for $21.99. I like all the ideas you offered. Thanks.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

You're welcome robert, they're still going strong since the video.

[@DavidPadwin-fh5ds]

Thanks for the ideas. I have some stiff wire, that springy music wire from hobby shops, I use for a lot of things. The plan is to see what wire I can fit into Otter phone case with a loop sticking out. Shoe lace or whatever for lanyard.

I've updated this design recently using this tough but lightweight, flexible cord, you might want to give it a try: amzn.to/3vkuhSG

[@thesarahfreddy]

I love it! I was looking at Amazon for something like this and I thought to myself, the prices for these chintzy things, what a rip! Came here for inspiration for DIY and like what I saw.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Thanks. I've mad a change since this video, I swapped out the fishing line for this cord, just as tough but more flexible: amzn.to/3wnpb8S

[@browneyedlassy2767]

I need one with two D rings for a crossbody chain. Any ideas?

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

How about this one? amzn.to/48trGVH

[@courierton9217]

Great video.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Thanks, the straps are still going strong, some years later.

[@charissedrogalis4892]

what material do you use to put in back of phone and thru charger area of phone

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

I list it in the video, but have since updated the "cord" to this: amzn.to/3XSOIAB , it's much easier to work with, stay tuned for an updated video.

[@travisdent7009]

Another advantage is if you carry a large amount of stuff around and your phone likes to slide off the top, while you’re walking, that keeps it off the ground and you can get it back easier. I like the thinking… 👍🏻

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Good point! Thanks for sharing. I've improved this design since this video, plan to provide an update soon.

[@LaxiusOne]

If you don't secure the lanyard rope to your hand every time you pick up the phone, won't it just serve as a more easy way for a thief to grab your phone?

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

maybe, it's funny how quickly slipping on the lanyard is just done automatically, and how many times it has saved my phones...

[@dragonball3166]

Not bad ideas for people who don’t want use cellphone case attached people only sweat pants out in public

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Thanks for the comment, always welcome, although I'm not sure I'm following the sweat pants piece.
