I gave 2 of these to my daughter to keep her phone safe and secure. I also enjoy the fact that other people can clearly see she is carrying a phone. I showed her how she can dial 911 (or other emergency number) without even removing the phone from the case. The peace of mind is priceless! The 3rd lanyard went to my husband. He works is a woodworking shop with lots of sawdust. This phone lanyard protects his phone from contamination in the workplace. He is very pleased as well. Great idea!
