These accessories provide a method for securing a mobile device to a person, typically around the neck, wrist, or attached to a bag. Functionally, they offer a hands-free carrying solution while minimizing the risk of accidental drops or loss. An example includes a woven fabric strap affixed to a phone case, allowing the user to wear the phone around their neck.
The integration of these retention devices offers several advantages. They increase phone accessibility, which is particularly useful in situations requiring quick access, such as photography or navigation. Historically, similar cords and straps have been utilized for carrying various tools and objects, adapting to the modern need for mobile device security and convenience.
