An accessory designed to securely hold a mobile device while allowing hands-free use, typically consisting of a chain or cord attached to a phone case and worn across the body or over the shoulder. These accessories offer a convenient method for carrying a phone, eliminating the need to hold it or store it in a pocket or bag. For instance, individuals using public transportation or engaging in activities such as shopping often find this style of phone carrying advantageous.
The increasing adoption of this product stems from its practicality and fashion-forward design. Historically, carrying devices evolved from belt clips to pouches and now to these wearable chains, reflecting a need for both accessibility and security. Benefits include reduced risk of dropping the phone, increased convenience in accessing the device for quick tasks like photography or navigation, and serving as a stylish addition to an outfit. The use of such a phone accessory can also deter theft by keeping the device visibly and securely attached to the user.
