Short answer: a phone lanyard is a cord or strap that keeps your phone on your body instead of in a pocket or a bag. The version most people end up with is a phone lanyard built into a fitted case, so the load sits on the case rather than on a single clip. Keebos crossbody cases are $49.90 with a wallet for 6 cards, or $34.90 for a universal strap that attaches to the case you already own. Free US shipping, 30 day money back guarantee.
Phone Lanyard
A lanyard Phone Case is rope or strap attached to a phone case, which is placed around the neck with the purpose for you to stay handsfree and carefree.
A lanyard can be used for a variety of fun and serious applications from home to the office, but a cell phone lanyard is functional and fashionable, and it will make your life a lot easier.
Have a look at 8 different benefits of using a Keebos lanyard phone case when out and about or even just to use it while in the house:
1. Your Phone is Close By and Accessible with your iPhone Lanyard
One of the biggest returns to wearing a cell phone lanyard is being able to have fast access to your phone whenever you need it.
Whether you're within work hours and need to be on-hand to take the next client call or whether you're awaiting the biggest news from a family member (new little one in the world, perhaps?).
People often forget their phone on a side, leave it on silent mode or simply can't find it in time while looking through the depths of the Mary Poppins bag that has been brought along for the ride.
But, wearing the lanyard keeps it close and personal meaning you see the call or message as soon as it arrives. See a picture below of Keebos iPhone case with lanyard attachment.
2. Phone Lanyard Case - It Fixes the Issue of No Pocket Fashion
Far too often these days you can find the perfect pair of jeans, leggings or jeggings only to find they don't have a pocket.
The same goes for that perfect jacket you'd expect to find a pocket in but still doesn't. Fast fashion has become a place of looking good at an inconvenient cost.
But, that's exactly one of the reasons as to why the lanyard phone case is becoming so popular; the benefit being that you don't have to think about the pockets in a pair of jeans or in your jacket.
Put your phone, wallet and lose change around your neck just with the ease and convenience of a cell phone lanyard.
3. You Will Find It Difficult to Lose Your Cell Phone Lanyard
Everyone has done it. You put the phone down without registering where, then need it and cannot find it.
When you place your phone down without paying much attention to where you're putting it, only to need it and not find it. Yet, when you do find it you then have to deal with missed calls and missed messages.
It's truly just a downward spiral of 'why did I put my phone down?'.
Luckily, when you use a cell phone lanyard to keep your phone around your neck, you don't have to think about placing it. Even without a bag or pockets, you'll have two hands free without the fret of forgetting where on Earth your cell is this time.
4. Use a Lanyard to Keep Your Cell Away from Small Children
Any parent can attest that small children explore by imitation, and a phone left on a low surface is an interesting object with a bright screen.
When this happens, you may lose your phone for days, find it in a bowl of water or discover it has gained a few stylistic cracks on the screen after being used as the newest chew toy. Phone holder for lanyard is a must have for any multitasker.
So, as a mom, it can be quite important for the safety of your kids, the pets, your private messages and your sanity to use a lanyard phone case to keep your phone close by at all times, with your iPhone lanyard.
5. Phone Leash Keeps Bad People at Bay from Bad Activities
Children are not the only reason a phone goes missing from a bag. An unattended phone in an open tote is an easy target in a crowd, and a resold handset is worth real money.
Pickpocketing works on distraction. A bump, an apology, and a phone is out of an open bag before you have registered anything happened, which is a problem in crowds, on public transport and at festivals.
In order to prevent this entirely, make use of the benefits of having a phone case on lanyard to keep your phone, wallet and petty cents within your eyesight.
So, even if you're out shopping with friends, you don't have to worry about a stranger's hand fumbling through your bag in a crowded place. The iphone case with lanyard attachment will be your best friend!
6. There's No Need to Lug a Handbag Around, Just Bring our Cell Phone Case with Lanyard
Sometimes, the last thing you want to do is carry a bag. Big or small, it can hurt your shoulder, take up a hand or simply ruin an outfit (everyone's nightmare, clearly).
And, sometimes, you don't want the weight of carrying a bag only to have others ask you to store their things in it anyway (partners of the world, we're looking at you).
So, to elude the troubles of bag-carrying, simply wear a lanyard phone case and you'll be instantly reaping the benefits of no longer having neck or shoulder pain and no longer being the go-to lugger.
7. You'll be a Better Contributor to Our Environment, Minimalism and Efficiency
There is more than one way that having a cell phone lanyard can be better for our environment.
Firstly, there is less material needed to produce the lanyard phone case meaning fewer resources are used and there is an automatic smaller carbon-footprint.
Secondly, when you use a lanyard by Keebos, we plant a tree on your behalf. Meaning, not only are you reducing negative impact, it's increasing positive impact.
Then, when it comes to living a minimalist lifestyle with efficiency, need and true attachments to products, you'll naturally feel a reduction in stress and anxiety. And, according to research published in Psychology today, this is especially important for young adults aged between 18 and 35.
8. It's Part of the Celebrity Style Guide to Venture with a Cell Phone Lanyard
The final benefit you'll see when you use a lanyard phone case is the fashionable aspects. While it is not the key component, it is certainly a pro factor. So when you're wondering, what is a mobile phone lanyard, that's part of the answer.
With celebrities in America and around the world all adorning the new cell phone lanyard cases, there's really no reason not to.
For example: Eva Longoria, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Cara Delavigne, Hailey Bieber and more all use cell phone lanyards as part of their EDC (everyday carry)!

Made for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy including Z Fold and Z Flip, and Google Pixel.
- Universal lanyard strap: $34.90. Attaches to any case you already own and fits any phone, including basic and flip phones.

Phone Lanyard FAQ
How does a phone lanyard work?
The strap anchors to the phone, and how it anchors is the whole difference between a good one and a bad one. Cheap lanyards use an adhesive pad on the back of the phone, or a thin plastic tab squeezed between the phone and an existing case, so the entire weight hangs on one small point. A lanyard built into a fitted case spreads the load across the case itself, which is why it survives daily use. You wear it around the neck or across the body, and lift the phone to use it without unclipping anything.
Are phone lanyards a good idea?
Yes, if your problem is dropping or misplacing the phone, or clothing with no usable pockets. The strap catches the phone if your hand opens, and it removes the moment where the phone gets set down on a table and forgotten. They are less useful if you already carry a bag you never put down, and they are a bad idea around machinery or gym equipment, where you should wear it crossbody or take it off.
Do phone lanyards damage your phone?
A lanyard attached to a proper fitted case does not, because nothing adheres to the phone and the case takes the strain. The ones worth avoiding are adhesive pads stuck directly to the back glass, which can lift the finish when removed, and tabs wedged under a case that put pressure on one corner. If a lanyard asks you to stick something to the phone itself, that is the design to skip.
What is the difference between a phone lanyard and a crossbody phone case?
A lanyard is the strap. A crossbody phone case is a fitted case with the strap built in, and usually a wallet on the back. In practice people search for both and mean the same outcome, which is the phone carried hands free. The case version is more secure because the attachment is engineered into the case, and it does more, since it also carries cards.
Will a phone lanyard fit my phone?
Fitted cases are model specific, so check your exact phone in Settings before ordering to make sure the camera cutout lines up. Keebos makes them for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy including Z Fold and Z Flip, and Google Pixel. If your handset is outside those ranges, the universal strap attaches to whatever case you already have and works with any phone.
Can you use your phone while it is on a lanyard?
Yes. The phone sits screen outward, so you lift it and use it one handed without unclipping, and most people take calls with it still attached. There is an elastic finger strap behind the wallet that makes a large phone easier to hold, and the strap detaches completely when you want a plain case.
How long should a phone lanyard be?
The Keebos strap is 54 inches and adjusts by pulling two cords, which covers both common ways of wearing it. Higher on the chest, worn as a necklace, is more stable and swings less when you bend down. Longer, worn across the body, spreads the weight over your shoulder and is more comfortable for a full day. Set it so the phone sits around mid torso and you get most of both.

This is the best thing I’ve purchased so far! The quality, style, and convenience are unbeatable.
@Charlotte and Keegan, yes you can definitely take photos while the phone is in the case, you don’t have to take it out. Please let me know if you have any other questions :) – Emily from Keebos
Can you take a photo while it’s in the case?… meaning, is there an opening for the lenses?
Can you talk with the iPhone in the case or do you need to take it out?
Can I have my own design?
