Three Ways to Add a Wrist Strap to Phone Case
Vložit

- There are many reasons to add a wrist strap to your phone case-to avoid dropping it, have two hands free, avoid getting it stolen out of your hand, and most importantly, because it’s sooo trendy and soooo cool. Practically everyone’s doing it! :P
I did a lot of research on this, so I wanted to share my findings. From the video, you can see the rubber sleeve on my Otterbox case made this project slightly more difficult. There's also one more option I didn't mention, in which there are products you can buy where the strap or handle adheres to your phone (like the "LoveHandle" www.lovehandle...)
Here are the links to the items/websites mentioned in this video.

I'm a disabled veteran and I drop things because of a spinal cord injury that makes arms weak.
You are right. They just don't make protective phone cases that accept lanyards, except for the new OtterBox Pursuit series. But I have an older phone so that not an option.
Instead of using strain, use dental floss. It's waxed so it is slippery , and it's extremely strong. Other than that, I think you did just about everything that I would do.
I was worried the case would crap, but it looks like it will be okay.
Thanks for the video and letting us share in the joy of your little baby! They are a ton of work, but I do miss those days with my son.
Rhinoshield cases have an area for lanyards or wrist straps
Thank you for your service. ❤
Aww! Love the outtakes!! A wriststrap is a must have for me!!! I didn't think of using my drill!!🤪. The first time did this, I didnt have my drill so I used a very small Philips head screwdriver, heated it up with flames from a candle and melted a hole in the plastic.
Great idea for a drill substitute. Glad it helped!
2023 & this video helped so much. BTW, I subscribed because you’re so cute (and thorough and helpful), then you bring in the most adorable baby I’ve ever seen!
You could also put the strap through the holes that expose the speakers at the bottom
I love the trial and error here. Really makes this "real"
Omg you are just like me! I always come up with super clever ways to do things! And I have to pat myself on the back because no one around here is very impressed with my talents 😒 but that's okay bc I look around our home and I'm the one that's done every single thing that's made things work better, and I don't need their stinkin'approval/compliments 😌😅
Holy crap your baby is so adorable!!!!!
osmoregulatoryorgan Agreed! :D
Thanks for doing all the hard work of researching, drilling, and threading so that we don't have to. Also, thanks for including your baby. And trusting her with your newly strapped phone! Gave me tons of confidence in your solution.
I did this years ago to many other cases and have done it to every case since (I drill on the right side of the case since I'm right handed). People told me I was crazy for doing so. Nice to know I'm not the only crazy one! 🤣 Excellent video!
Yeah, my husband thought it was weird too and I said I always use the wrist strap to my camera-- why not on a huge phone? Thanks!
@@XoletteLife Ringke even makes two types of lanyard/straps: wrist strap and FINGER strap 🤣. All joking aside, they are the BEST options I have found.
Cool. Thanks for sharing! I was having a hard time looking for wrist straps.
@@XoletteLife you can try this too. This is my current setup: www.blackrapid.com/Wander-Bundle
Thanks for sharing! Didn't know that existed. I'll be sure to direct other users to that link if they ask.
Wow two new videos in one day 😊 Great idea with the cell phone wrist strap. I walk water ways all the time and fear the dropping of the phone. The strap will eliminate that fear. My drive time for me to totality is 8 hours 🤔 But still possible. Loved the outtakes. Made me smile.
Thanks! My twin said I was "so old"for doing this, but I knew it'd be helpful to someone. I use my phone as a baby monitor, so to be hands free is important when I'm walking around with it. Glad this helped! Be sure to check the description for tips and to read that site on how the guy from 148apps did it!
(I know--two videos in one day! I mostly did the previous video so quickly because August 21st is coming up fast!)
I bought a new case for my new phone, an it came with a wristlet... Ive never had one, or ever seen one be4 to.... Suprise!! My 9month old son zoned into ur daughters voice once she woke up... truthfully he was transfixed!!! She started to coos an blow bubbles sounds, very similar to his own voice...He even kissed the phone when yall was waving goodbye! PS. I watched u wiggle in ur strap, an repeating it on mine was a breeze!! Thanks.. from both me an my son Kane!!!!! Connecting across space ✨️
Aw, so cute! I remember when my daughter was oddly transfixed with a CZcamsr's Czech accent :) Glad you 2 enjoyed the video!!
I’m just trying to figure out how to tie the lanyard on the price that’s already there without it coming loose lol I’m not trying to drill or poke holes in my new WATERPROOF case
You place the lanyard loop through the hole and then place your handle loop through the lanyard loop.
@@XoletteLife I figured it out lol I feel stupid I was trying to double knot it and it kept coming on done then I looped it through “the whole that was made for it” then pulled it through itself and Walla
@@XoletteLife thank you tho hun I appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to write me back.
I love everything about this video. Thank you for your research, thank you for showing your trials and errors and making them fun, and for including your child :-)
You're very welcome!
the trial and error parts were what I especially liked about this video, too :)
this is great! is nice to see the failed attempts. also that baby is like "wtf?" when swinging phone around. lol
My smartphone has holes in every case for wrist straps but my partners does not so i used apair of scissors then threaded it through so easy
DIY: Just look closely at 02:50 inset image. When you punch/drill/melt the holes, make sure they are about 1/3 as far apart as the length of the thin-line loop.
In a pinch, use dental floss to pull straps through the holes in anything that is supposed to have a strap like that. It's strong and almost everyone has it in the house.
KitsuneKai That's a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
Both of you are adorable. I enjoyed the video. Thank you.
That’s so useful thank you! And your daughter is so adorable!!!
Thanks for making the video! I used my existing neck strap that has the round attachment at the end and pressed to open to hook it into the opening on the phone or the outer otter covering that also has 2 openings that allow hooks to go through. Now I don’t have to Buy anything new. Just hook it on when I need to! 😀
Where did u get wristlet strap?
The wrist strap link is in the description. Though, mine broke after abt 2 years. The constant friction on the tiny string I looped through the case caused it to break. To replace it, I just looped my sailsmaker twine through the hole several times, and through that I put in a strap I made out of scrap nylon fabric. It's holding up pretty well, but The downside is the fabric strap right up against my cases a little bulky. Hope that helps!
Your daughter seemed happy with the result!
Love the effort love the energy, keep going sis you are inspirational 👏
Thanks for your video. Your baby is adorable!
I had to do surgery on my OtterBox defender case to fit this Motorola phone. The clear plastic covered the camera. A little bit of detail work with a xacto knife fixed it. The rubber boot will eventually stretch out so if you can do a science trick to shrink rubber that would be great. 😃. It is still functional so I am delaying adhesive solution
Randy J I noticed that my old otterbox rubber sleeve is stretched out a little too. Unfortunately, I dont think you can fix that. But I believe you can buy a replacement online!
It's upside down though, LOL
Mine came with the hole already there and a loop for the wrist with it, I'm just trying to figure out how to get the string in the hole..
Put the small loop through the hole and then put the handle through that loop. Hope that helps!
@@XoletteLife Yes thank you, I got it.. :)
Please tell me how u did this again
Thank You Alot It Really Helped Me,😄 And Love your CZcams channel ❤️😃
Your baby daughter didn't smile until you gave her the phone lol
What a happy and smiley baby
I have a five dollar torch that comes (new) with a wrist strap. It seems the makers want your phone damaged so they can rip you off again.
What sort of materials would you use to make this strap for a purse strap rather than a wrist strap?
Good question! I had to replace the wrist lanyard after it broke (too much friction on the cord connecting it to my phone), so I made a strap out of fabric scraps (in my case, nylon) and just attached it to my phone using my sailsmaker twine. I'd recommend using a fabric that won't show dirt and easy to clean-- synthetic fabrics do well in this regard. Good luck!
@@XoletteLife Thank you for the helpful information!
Or just buy a lifeproof fre and loop the lanyard under the audio jack cover. A lot easier and the case is waterproof
My god I love your personality! Very helpful video thank u for making it!
Both are cute
That was alot of fun...thanks
Awwww beautiful mother and baby! Total distraction from video....LOL! ! !
God bless you and your baby ❤❤❤
thankyou i really appreciate it😊
Heck yeah Google pixel!!! Phone has an amazing camera too.
hbgalore1 Agreed! My husband got it for me. I like how there's not a bunch of extra software on it like other phones and it's easy to access the notification on apps.
Good Idea
I glued a slim flat money clip to the back of the phone
You saved my Sony Xperia M4 Aqua from getting destroyed, the dang phone is strapless.
That's great!! Just don't do what I did, which is think you've put the strap on your wrist and then just drop your phone! :D
Use a strand of dental floss. Very strong
I got a foneleash from foneleash.com , works similar to this item but with more options
Thanks, You got a great helper! great idea.
why don't you update to your knife channel
Barely any free time with my one-year-old. Plus, it's too hot to take her out with me and there's her safety when throwing. She can crawl pretty fast and wouldn't know how to get out of the way if I asked her. I'll get back into it-- just not right now..
me: watches video
*baby pops up*
me: OMG im gonna steal that little teddy bear
she is so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thank you ma'am.
I don't think so.
Good vid. Cute child x
Throwing knife lady with the life hacks
It'll be so cool if you did a video about how to attach like a knife or a blade to your phone... probably very stupid but be very useful and cool 😂
Haha, that'd be painful if an open blade fell on your lap! But yes, you could add more things to that strap!
XoletteLife 😂😂 thinking about it more the worst it sounds! I love your videos by the way!!
I Am Sang Lewis Aw, thanks!! :D
Omg just order a phone case that already has the lanyard holes or holes and a lanyard for like 10$ instead of wasting all the time. Cute kid though.
Omg thanks
50-
Google OG Pixel!
Or just buy a Moshi phone case.
Your daughter looks like meagamind
You are gorgeous
Fail,
Cute Baby..
These people are MISSING the POINT!! We want to know how to tie the actual KNOT in the strap. lol...
cute baby tho.
Jovan Johnson you don’t tie a knot, you pull the strap through the loop and it secures itself. (I’m guessing there are many other videos that could show you this as well, especially camera straps)
@@venussands This knot is known as a double-hitch, but just look closely at 02:50 inset image. When you punch/drill/melt the holes, make sure they are about 1/3 as far apart as the length of the thin-line loop.
I don't have a phone so I'm okay.
So why would you watch the video?
Mabey its because you are Godless is why you dont have a phone
