Re: [apple-iphone] iPhone 5S Lanyard Cases

The reviews are harsh on that one.

I may have to go that way but when I buy anything from Amazon or elsewhere I look at the 1 star and 2 star reviews and balance them against the more glowing reviews to catch the clunkers.

But thanks for the input I should have been clearer that was one I looked at but the reviews did not pass muster.

Here's one available from Amazon with a neck strap that you can purchase separately & a Google search might turn up more choices:

I'm just getting to know an iPhone 5s. It's my first smart-phone, so
I'll have lots of questions to ask you guys.

I'm a Brit, but living in France; I bought the iPhone unblocked and am
using it with the Supermarket chain Leclerc as an ISP, which uses SFR
as a carrier.

I've bought a leather flip case to protect the back, edges and screen,
but I was surprised to find that I couldn't buy a case with a lanyard
to go around the neck. I often wear trackpants and T-shirt with no
suitable pocket, I need to guard against accidentally dropping it, and
I need some protection against opportunistic thieves who might snatch
the phone from my grasp.

I've just returned from a holiday in South Africa where security was a
big concern; as a temporary measure I used some 2mm polyamide cord
with an 85Kg breaking strain looped around the fold of the flip case.
But it's white, gets tangled and is anything but cool!

Can anyone suggest a supplier for a "lanyard case"?

regards
Ian
