This accessory facilitates hands-free carriage of a mobile communication device. It incorporates a tether, often consisting of linked metallic or polymer components, affixed to a supporting structure designed to be worn across the body. An example is a linked metal strand connected to a protective case, allowing the user to suspend the phone from one shoulder to the opposite hip.
The benefit of this system lies in its convenience and security. It reduces the risk of dropping or misplacing the phone and keeps it readily accessible for use. Historically, similar carrying methods have been employed for items such as pouches and small tools, adapting to the modern requirement of mobile phone accessibility. Its practical design makes it a useful everyday item.
